I remember middle school and high school, when busywork was all-consuming and everything you learned you kept in your memory until a test came along and then you forgot it forever. Homework was never a priority, you just did it because you had to. I look back, and although obviously I learned a lot, I can’t remember very many assignments and projects that I really saw as making a difference in my life. However, it’s here at APU that everything has changed.
I have a quiz tomorrow, a debate tomorrow, two art projects due on Thursday, a ten page paper due on Friday, a research paper due in a week, and three finals to begin to study for. But the thing is, I am LEARNING from them all. Not to mention, while it is a lot of work, it probably sounds a lot more intense then it is. When everything you do you try and do to the glory of God, working on homework is almost fun. (I know, weird right?)
I am currently writing a ten page paper on the BIBLE. How cool is that?! This is all new to me, but I am loving it. I am used to public schools, I am not used to chapel, praying in class and reading the Bible as homework. Even the things that aren’t typical “Christian” things to do revolve around Christ. Like my art projects and my english paper, everything somehow revolves around your faith in God. The professors don’t just want you to learn something to take a test on it and forget about it forever. They want you to learn so you can use your skills and talents to further the Kingdom of God for the rest of your life. Everything points to Jesus. Yes, Even homework.
