Student Highlight - Meet Michaela-Joy Frantz!
•
Where are you from? "I am from Washington State! (Western WA)"
•
What is your favorite part of class so far?
"My favorite part of class so far would have to be the Socratic teaching method. In every class, we as the students, are expected to participate in class by answering questions inquired by professors or conversing with classmates in directed conversation. Because of this method, I believe it sparks a desire in students to discuss deep class topics even outside of class. Often times, class will end but students will still be glued to their seats, engrossed in conversation. Personally, these deep conversations brought on by the Socratic Method are my favorite."
•
What do you want to do after your time at the Abbey? "In the immediate future, I wish to pursue my BA through Trinity International University during the next year or two. After school, a future desire in my heart is to start a ministry for the broken in Puyallup, WA. My goal in starting a ministry would be to help the homeless get off the streets, to meet the broken where they are at and lead them to Jesus. I also have a dream to write."
•
Why did you come to the Abbey?
"When I discovered the program, I could see it's heart was so similar to mine. I wanted to be apart of the Abbey because I knew I would be pushed here. I knew I would be challenged mentally, spiritually, and physically. I knew I would have fun growing in things like hiking and rafting throughout the beautiful state of Colorado. I was most excited about being submersed into sound teaching while in a safe environment to learn and grow in Christ."
•
What is something funny about you? "I LOVE talking to strangers!!! I used to be 250% introverted...but recently I took a test and got a legitimate 93% extrovert! It's not uncommon for my friends to cringe when we go to the park or local Wal-Mart because I'll usually get to know new people by the end of the trip. It feels uncomfortable for me to NOT talk to someone around me."
•
What has been your favorite moment at the Abbey so far? "I LOVED the camping trip! I could not get enough of the Colorado wilderness.

What do you like best about your roommate? "Quite simply put, he's an excellent young man and more than I could've hoped for in a roommate. He has become a friend that I do believe will last a long time and a man I would want by my side through what life throws my way."

Each semester, Worldview at the Abbey students and Resident Directors do a community service project. It’s a great way for Worldview to impact the community of Canon City and do something as a large group! This year, the students helped clean and winterize New Creations Inn, a transitional housing program for families and individuals who are struggling in their current lifestyle and who are ready to make changes to improve their quality of life.
Happy Halloween/ Reformation Day from Worldview at the Abbey!
