It was the end of August, 2005 and the first day of classes as a junior
at Clarkson University. I was excited to start my school year off with a
set of new classes and admittedly, I was also eager to forget the end
of my sophmore year and just start again with a clean slate. I remember
that morning like it was yesterday. Strength of Materials was my first
class, starting at 9:00am. I walked into the classroom at 8:40, thinking
that I would be the only soul there, but I was surprised to be the
third overly anxious student. I recognized a fellow hockey player in the
front so I moseyed in her direction. On my way, I passed the other
person. He looked up at me with his big blue eyes. "Who on earth is
that?" I wondered.
Later in the day he walked right up to me
while I was standing behind a tract table. "You love Jesus too?!" was
the very first thing he said to me. I later learned that his name was
Caleb and that he just transferred in. I also learned that he was in 4
out of 5 of my classes. We soon became study buds.
