Holistic Experiences Informed By Faith with Glory

Transcript

All right, everyone, let’s meet Glory. She’s a junior from Pittsburgh, Texas. She’s studying kinesiology with a focus on sports psychology, so she understands the importance of mind body connection and the balance required to hold multiple roles. Over to you, Glory.

– Thanks, Alex. Hey, guys. From the moment I arrived at LeTourneau, I knew it was something special. The strong and vibrant atmosphere is what makes LETU not just a university, but a second home to so many. LeTourneau is a community where spiritual growth isn’t just a habit. It’s a practice woven into the fabric of our daily lives. One of my favorite ways to engage in this community is my involvement in the chapel band. ♪ Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe ♪ ♪ We live for you ♪ ♪ We live for you ♪ I get the honor of working alongside brothers and sisters in Christ who are pushing each other daily to deepen their connection with God in the form of music. There is something so profound about coming together to lead worship, share in moments of spiritual growth, and connect with fellow believers. I’ve had so many opportunities here in the kinesiology department, including a study abroad program, the chance to present my research at national conferences, and the opportunity to engage in undergraduate research, particularly in emerging areas like virtual reality, where one of a kind research is being done on the effects of how it can be used to help athletes train. These experiences have been instrumental in giving me real-world skills that will carry me on into my future career. This fall, I’m excited to take on the new role as a resident assistant, and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to give back to my community. It is a chance for me to share my experiences with others by helping them feel at home and engaged in their own journey here at LETU. The relationship between sports psychology and my involvement on the worship band has been a beautiful blend of intellectual and spiritual growth that has made my time here so fulfilling. That’s all for now. Back to you, Alex.

– Thank you, Glory. We can tell you really feel that meaningful connection. Thank you for sharing with us how students can balance their career prep with their passions and interests.
