Go-Carthage

They’ve almost reached the end. It’s mid-May and they’re finishing up their last task at boot camp Carthage. All of their hard work and late-night studying will finally pay off. It’s another busy day as Carthage students march to their classes along the sparkling lakeside. Seniors are preparing for their greatest moment of achievement—graduation. They remember their past semesters of training and being pushed to take full course loads. They learned to complete tasks on time, and how to seek excellence and self-discipline. They were trained to seek truth, build strength, and inspire service as a community. This year’s seniors have been prepared for their futures.

History Makers

Carthage senior, Amanda, is walking down the sidewalk on her way to class. It is mid-May; the sun is shining and the sparkling lake blows a cool breeze across the campus. As Amanda continues to walk, she looks at the few students walking toward her, and then looks over to the car driving by. She then starts to look over toward the Abraham Lincoln statue and—wait, he’s not there. Amanda looks confused but continues walking to class.

This year at Carthage, history makers and Carthage alumni have made a special visit to speak with the graduating seniors. Not only have they come to pour forth their advice and encouragement, but some will be able to share some of their own experiences they’ve had at Carthage. They’ve made their marks in history and they’re prepared to offer their support to the seniors who shall become history makers themselves. Carthage alumni are on campus and ready to meet and learn about the seniors and all they’ve experienced as college students. They hope to pour forth their wisdom and encouragement to the graduates as they are about to enter a new avenue of their lives. Also, Abraham Lincoln is available to speak with the seniors outside the Straz building.
