Receiving a scholarship helped make it all possible.<\/p>\n<p>Upon graduation from Mennonite Collegiate Institute in Gretna two years ago, Raven received a CMU Leadership Scholarship valued at $10,000 over four years. \u00a0The award recognizes both academic excellence and leadership, shown in her roles as camp counsellor, lifeguard, and aide to a younger student.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That money was a huge help,&#8221; says \u00a0Nickel, who lives in residence at CMU. &#8220;The award gave me confidence in myself and sparked my interest in taking initiative to become a Residence Assistant &#8211; and helping other students also lets me give back to CMU.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love living on campus, and having my own place to go between classes. I like the activities outside of class time, I enjoy the community of people here, and I like the dynamics between professors and students.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In particular, Nickel appreciates the focus on theology and faith as part of her daily life. \u00a0&#8220;I&#8217;m looking forward to taking more BTS courses this year,&#8221; says Nickel, who hopes to teach, to travel, and to do mission work. &#8220;It&#8217;s really cool that faith can be worked into everyday things.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>December 13, 2012 &#8211; For Raven Nickel of Altona, MB, who is working towards an education degree and majoring in French, coming to CMU after high school was the ideal choice to begin post-secondary studies.
