Fink.Session1.Journal
The event in my life that will influence my academic work and goals, is the event that made me want to go to Colorado Christian University. I chose to go to Colorado Christian

This class not only taught me how to defend my faith, but it more importantly taught me why to believe what I believe. To have a faith based on facts not a blind faith.
