It is national hero day. Students and staff here at NGU were asked to answer the simple question, “who is your hero?”
Caden Brannen, senior worship studies major, says his hero is his dad. Brannen said his dad is an inspiration for him and has always been there for him.
Helen Cox is the food service directer of Aramark at NGU. Her hero is her husband. Cox explains that her husband is such a strong person and a motivator for her life. Mainly though he is a companion who has supported her throughout their relationship.
Jacob Rotten, a junior worship studies major, says that his hero is his dad. Rotten says that even though his father is a sinner like us all he still looks up to him and could not be where he is now without him. A quote from Rotten is that “He (his father) is just a really awesome dude.”
Joseph Hellams, freshman cybersecurity major, says he doesn’t have a hero, but he does look up to his mother. His mom is a single mother of five and she grew up in the projects of Brooklyn, New York. She has taken care of Hellams and his siblings by herself and Hellams admires her strength. She is now living in South Carolina and recently got a new house.
Natalie Cannon, freshman worship studies major, says her hero is Adoniram Judson. She explains that Judson gave his all for Christ and was willing to go anywhere for Christ. She wants to be a missionary and sees Judson as a prime example of the kind of missionary she should be.
Nathan Matheson, freshman christian studies major, says his hero is his dad. Matheson wasn’t raised in a christian household and he didn’t get to see his father after his parent’s divorce. However his dad is back in his life and is also back in church. Matheson’s dad continues to be an encouragement to Nathan daily.
Aniya Akinjobi, freshman biology major, says her hero is her grandmother Lucile. Lucile took Akinjobi in as a child and showed her the truth of God and Akinjobi couldn’t be more thankful.
