From A Scared Freshman To A Confident Freshman

Today, I met a freshman football player here at Wittenberg by the name of Devon Hightower. He expressed to me how these couple of weeks he's been here at Witt have changed his life. 

Devon is from Connecticut and before he arrived at Witt he explained how nervous he was. He didn't know what to expect nor was he willing to step out of his comfort zone. 

As I listened to Devon talk about being here at Wittenberg I notice how he began to relax. His shoulders became less tense and he was able to look me in my eyes as he spoke. It was like he was finding himself. He was gaining confidence in himself. 

Now I didn't know Devon before he came to Wittenberg but I could tell how much of a difference this school has made in his life. There was one thing he said that stuck with me...

"Wittenberg has already taught me to go after anything I want in life," said Hightower. 

Just by knowing how much his life has changed in these couples of weeks he's been here makes it that much easier for me to sleep at night. Because now I know Wittenberg had done their job at impacting a persons life and passing on the Torch.

Job well done Witt!
