[quote=Anonymous]Can you imagine how decisions you make now and things you are experiencing today can affect your life ten years from now? Who knew that the nine years I attended Ambleside School of Herndon would so profoundly impact my life and world view? I’m currently a senior nursing major and honors student at Messiah College. As I reflect on my sixteen years of classroom education, I’m convinced that my academic success is inseparable from my love of learning formed through critical thinking concepts, narration, nature studies, habits….all gained at Ambleside.

These skills served me well in my public high school years where so much effort was spent working for a grade and getting into college. Now at a Christian liberal arts college, I feel as if I am in a positive learning environment similar to where my education first began. As a smaller Christian college, classes are not as big and provide the opportunity for close relationships with professors, something I am thankful to have experienced during my years at Ambleside. I am grateful for the variety of subjects we explored during my elementary and middle school days and find myself appreciating my general education courses as offering different glimpses into the world. Also similar to my time at Ambleside, Christ is at the center of class, team practices, and daily life at Messiah. Our faith is incorporated into learning as we discover God and His beautiful creation.

Recently, I spent three weeks in Zambia working in a rural hospital with several of my nursing peers. We attended Nurses Christian Fellowship with Zambian nursing students, hiked Victoria Falls, and camped out on a safari in Chobe National Park. I found myself in awe of everything I was experiencing and loved expanding my learning outside the classroom and into a new culture. Ambleside prepared me beyond the years I was there, and shaped who I am today. Ambleside will always remain a cherished experience.
