Autism unveiled registration#

(It has now merged campuses with Evangel Bible College of Springfield, Missouri.) I was honored that I would walk the same halls that my grandfather had so many years before.ДЇor two hours I waited in that registration line, and next to me stood a young man with a buzz haircut and a thin mustache. Back then it was known as CBI, which was short for Central Bible Institute.

However, I was extremely proud to attend there because my grandfather had attended the school as well. I remember feeling nervous about what college life would be like and how I would adjust to my new surroundings. It was in that state of mind that I stood in line for registration at Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri. I also didnвЂ™t believe that there would be someone (other than God) who would love and care about me. I didnвЂ™t believe there would ever be someone that I could love as much as I had loved that first young man who had stolen my heart. Music and ministry were my life, and in my mind boys were a thing of the past. I also learned to play the flute in the elementary school band. After all I had started playing the piano when I was seven years old. In my mind this was a natural progression for me. I decided to begin my freshman year as a music major. So, by the time I entered Bible College I had decided I was solely there for the purpose of training for ministry. Since that relationship, none of the boys I had dated could compare to the one that I once held so dear. However, our relationship came to a screeching halt one day, near the end of my sophomore year of high school, when he was tragically killed. Through the months that he and I were together I grew to love him. In the previous years I had dated a couple of times, but no one could compare to my relationship with my first true love- a wonderful boy from my church who had taken an interest in me. Despite what you may think boys were the last thing on my mind. On a heated August day, I stepped onto the Bible College campus in 1988. This story begins when I left home for college. My life took many twists and turns before the presence of Autism entered the family dynamic. The story you are about to read is a factual account of my life. No, my parents were not hippies or Hindus, and yes, I do know what it means. He made a tedious process pleasurable.Д¬hapter 2-Troubles Mixed with Triumph.
