Kirstie from Pansey, AL
The Baptist College of Florida is a great school!
Lissette from Ave Maria, FL
I am learning so much here at this school. I am learning a lot at this school because I am learning that being on my own is not easy, that God is always there when you need him and that he exists in every situation, and that being a music teaches me so much. I am learning that being on my own is not easy, but when I make it a point to keep God in my life, I always make it through the most difficult of situations. I am learning that God is always here if I need him and that he exists in every situation because when my friends move away, he does not leave; when everything else around me changes, he does not. Being a music student here is teaching me a lot because I am learning being disciplined is important for my success, that music theory helps me when it comes to learning new music, and that Music is the best way to help people, because so many people will tune out a preacher in church, but they will not tune out music.
