Against All Odds

their Mom

A s we began theyear,we welcomed 73 smiling faces ready to make it best year ever. After and Dad unloaded the U-Haul and said their goodbyes,friendsand memories began to form

With an emphasis on unity.

Dorm 26-3 became a close hall. Closeness that was developed through conflict. Conflicts like roommates on the hall phone until 2 a.m The delightful sound of the 6 a.m hairdryer

The sweet memory of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich left under your bed for two weeks.

Even though things got on our nervessometimes,we made our way through the rough times — together.The encouraging word and smile from a friend brightened the worst of days Someone, it seemed,always cared.

Looking back,itwas a great year. Many things in our lives changed, allowing us each to grow It was the growing experiences that left us stronger and closer.

MEMORABLE EVENT: Outdoor concert/party with brother dorm.

I t was truly amazing what a few flakes ofsnow could do to the Liberty campus Every well-mannered, upstanding young champion underwent a change of heart and different, wild things started happening

Students shed books and dress clothes for jeans and gloves They left homework to be done at some later time. They changed any plans they had and headed fora romp in the cold white stuff

Football games and snowball fights littered the campus. Everyone joined in, although not always voluntarily A new attitude prevailed and students concentrated solelyon enjoying themselves

Lynchburg snow was a rare event. For northerns, it was a disappointment. For southerners, it was a surprise For some northerns, it was asurprisetodiscoverthat some southerners were experiencing snow for their first time

But, for all, it was something different — a change of pace and a memory of one afternoon in December
