Today marks the last day of school for me at Auburn
University. This Sunday I will walk
across the stage and receive my diploma and graduate from Auburn with a
Bachelor’s of Civil Engineering. This
marks the end of my 6 years at Auburn. Over
these past 6 years I have seen some highs and some lows in a variety of
different ways.
Auburn Football:
I have had the opportunity to enjoy 6 football seasons at
Auburn. Over those 6 years I have seen
almost everything you can imagine in college football from the highest of highs
to the lowest of lows. I have seen the
end of the Tuberville era when Auburn beat Alabama for 6 straight years. Following that was Tuberville quitting in the
middle of the season and the following year the unexpected and controversial
hiring of Gene Chizik. Then within a
couple years the winning of the 2010 BCS National Championship. Then within two years, during my last
football season as a student, the worst football season that Auburn has ever
experienced and the firing of Gene and hiring of Gus Malzahn. Then got the chance to experience the final
ever Toomers Oak Trees rolling, it was a san time but also a showing of how the
Auburn Family will always stick together and stay strong.
CYO:
After my experience with YL, I felt the need to serve the
youth in a way that let loose the uniqueness of my Catholic faith. After a trip to FOCUS Regional Conference in
2011 in Nashville I started to help out with the Catholic Youth Organization at
St. Michael’s. Over the past 2 ½ years
of serving CYO has been the most fulfilling thing that I have done at
Auburn. I have the opportunity to serve
with some of the best and holiest people that I have ever known and learned
more about my faith by serving these high school and middle school students
than I would have ever imagined.
CSO:
It took me a while to get involved with CSO and part of me
regrets not getting involved earlier but the last few years have been some of
the best I have experienced. I have met
and befriended some of the holiest people ever.
I have had the opportunity to serve on Pan Y Vino team for two years and
have loved serving the Catholic Student community in that way.
After 6 years at Auburn University
I have done a lot, seen a lot, and experienced a lot. I have met so many great people and
experienced so many unique opportunities.
I hope that I have left behind as much as this town has given me. I will miss it but I have made it a goal to
come down to at least one Auburn Football game each year. I wish good luck to the future of CSO, Pan Y
Vino, CYO, and all the students at Auburn.
