The Road To Eccclesia
Hi, my name is name, and I am from West Fork, Arkansas. I find myself here at Ecclesia for many reasons. Those reasons consist of baseball, the Christian environment, and my future life goals. The first reason that comes to mind is baseball.
Baseball comes to mind first because I have been playing baseball all my life. The road here started my senior year when spring baseball was picking up. I was somewhat of a talented athlete that was looking to play at the next level. I took the first step by contacting, Coach Knight of the baseball team. After coming into contact with him, he started to recruit me and my best friend name to come play here at Ecclesia College (EC). After the recruiting process was over Coach Knight

After years of playing year-round, I was blessed to have the option of playing at a couple Small Division II schools or pursue a more academically rigorous degree at UVa. Ultimately, I chose the latter and it has been at the University of Virginia where CrossFit transformed from a supplementary regimen to my passion.…

    It was a Tuesday in February when it first happened. Unexpectantly waking up in the morning, realizing that the bottle of pills taken the previous night did not do what the Internet said they would. When you are someone like me, actions and thoughts like this occur on a daily basis. Nobody wants to live this way, constantly dreading each day and hoping the next will bring a stable supply of neurotransmitters like serotonin or dopamine. These chemicals in the brain, when in excess or in insufficient amount, cause depression. As a person with dysthymia (Eeyore Depression), everyday life is a challenge; simple tasks become strenuous, thoughts become askew from random triggers, and being understood by others is a rarity.…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…
