There are also a few reasons why I chose this specific college. One reason I chose this college is because it is a Christian college.

I also received the Dr. Lee Robertson scholarship and that gave me even more of a reason to come. I know a pretty good amount of people that go to school here ...

Atop the Eiffel Tower we could see, Lighting of the Champs-Elysees's Christmas tree. It was a magical night with the falling snow, But there are people to see and places to go.

At the close of our evening we could hear, The caroling of voices from Basilique du Sacré-Coeur so l...
