“I’ve watched as countless people around me spend the bulk of their lives pruning their dreams instead of living them.”

-Christine Rogers
When Christine Rogers entered Valley Forge Christian College as a freshman she had some big dreams. She began her message to our students during Homecoming 2012 as the Young Alumnus of the Year with these words, “My stomach hurt for weeks before I left (for college) because I was so excited…I was hungry for change. Not because my past was unsatisfying, but because my dreams for my future that God had placed within me were beginning to grow.”

As she continued speaking I knew all of us who were listening were in for a treat. And we were not disappointed. For the next 30 minutes or so she spoke of her journey as a student during those years on our campus to where she is now as a distinguished teacher at the Wilson Middle School in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
