Senior Assignment Dinner - Yum!
by Jeni
About half the senior class awaiting assignment gathered for a meal and discussion for what comes next.
What comes next is a constant question at the seminary. It starts most concretely in our entrance essay and continues from there. We seniors are getting to the point where we are close the end of the nexts and it's starting to get difficult. Like Mario at Bowser's Planet in Super Mario Galaxy, we're facing more difficult and more precise challenges, but, like Mario, we've been practicing for this for quite some time and have been gifted with experience and education to face what comes next. We've learned how to dive, how to long-jump, how to flip backwards and jump and how to find the extra stars that help us in our mighty fight against Bowser.
Classes, CPE, Candidacy, internship and community, tempered by time, have prepared us all. And it feels pretty darn good. It's a challenge filled with new possibilities, but ones we've been gifted to handle.
So, for all of us--juniors, middlers, interns, seniors--in our processes with all of our "what comes nexts," pray for us, remember that you aren't where you were and you won't go back to where you are. It is a process, a pretty sweet one.
Oh, and I'm pretty close to getting to Bowser's castle. Only three more stars!
