Diverse Call1pUS brings unity Harding is made of people. Thousands ofpeople coming and going at all different times, at all different points in life. No one sees the same, does the same things, thinks the same thoughts or has the same dreams. We are all different. Yet, maybe it is through our differences that we are alike. As time beats on its weary path, we follow along, changed and altered by each passing person. To discover is to search, it is to go on a journey that is a continual path of self discovery, and every new discovery introduces us to ourselves. Nowhere is that more true than at Harding University. Students come from multiple states and countries. A freshmen Introduction to New Testament class can have students from Searcy to Rhode Island to South Africa, ranging in ages 16 to 46. In order to cooperate in group projects, prayer groups and living arrangements in dorms, each student must be willing to develop a way of handling different ways of thinking. If we are willing to deal with the often painful consequences, our world will open. Like a caterpillar that gives up its life to become the new creation. It has to do with evaluating where we are, where we are headed and where we have been. Each new discovery prepares us for the next one. We build on steps, which means that the step we climbed yesterday shouldn't be smaller than the one we take today. The time of discovery is now - today. It is the only thing we have our hands on. Today is the only time to develop a new perspective. - Alva Liimatta, people editor =D_i _v _i s~i _o _n __________________ ~~ People ~
