Next up, our first lady (ridiculous that this is the first!), Ellen Sizemore, a second-year who went to Furman University. Hope it’s good!

Ellen!
I’m Ellen, and I’m a second-year. I’m doing the dual-degree program with Divinity and Counseling, so I am entering my last year at Wake Div. My first year was really amazing…many books, assignments, reflections, come-to-Jesus talks, papers, walks to satellite parking, cups of coffee, community lunches, and worship services later, I feel so thankful to be here and to be entering another year soon. When I think about my experience at Wake thus far, a couple of words come to mind: challenge and community. ”Challenge” because classes can get pretty overwhelming. I have found it to be very difficult to keep up at times, but in the long run, challenge was what I was looking for, and I certainly got it! Then, I think “community” because of how close-knit I have experienced this school to be. We stick together. I feel daily embraced by this unique group of students, staff, and faculty. Welcome, first years!
