Experience
everything our community has to offer Being a community is more than just working or living in the same general area. It is about coming together to support one another. Student Government Association recently sent out a mass e-mail to all faculty, staff and students encouraging everyone to support our athletic teams. It was a small way to make a bigger statement. That e-mail was not just limited to supporting our athletic teams, it was about supporting one another. We have a campus full of potential. There are people at TCU who are incredible athletes, thinkers, artists, dancers and actors. We as students are at the beginning of realizing who we are and where our potential can take us. SGA received several e-mails concerning the message that was sent out. Most of the feedback was overwhelmingly positive, yet there were three e-mails that really got me thinking. They came from three dancers here at TCU. All three e-mails started out the same way. Each one said, “It is great that we want to increase student participation at the games, but when was the last time students came out to support the arts?” We can’t ask for support if we don’t give it! Read all the flyers on this campus. They all say the same thing ... “Come support us and join our team!” Yet so often we become immune to the cries for involvement around us. Don’t become blind to the opportunities around you. Where else will you have the chance to listen to some of the greatest thinkers of our time. When you read a flyer about a great speaker, broaden your horizons and make the time to listen. When you have the opportunity to see beautiful dancers perform original work, seize it. You will not regret it. College is about becoming the person you will be the rest of your life. The habits you form today could possibly be the habits you will carry throughout your lifetime. Our students and our generation are not apathetic, we are just not aware. Wake up and try something new. Whatever you spend your time doing, take a break and venture out and explore something different. You will not regret it. You may realize it is not your thing, but what if you discover something within yourself that you thought never existed. Imagine the possibilities. Someday we will be away from TCU and miss it dearly, because our community fosters incredible opportunities. Life has a price and it is expensive. Right here, right now, we have the chance to receive great gifts without the great costs. Moments dance all around you, start dancing and make a memory you won’t forget. Chelsea
