Ouachita Baptist University is not a traditional liberal arts university, however the school embraces the liberal arts tradition. As a Christian school, Ouachita also focuses on spiritual growth, as the mission statement reads: "Embracing the liberal arts tradition, the university prepares individuals for continued intellectual and spiritual growth, meaningful work lives, and thoughtful engagement with the world." By having us attend chapel and other religious classes as part of the core, it helps us grow as Christians. Furthermore, as Ostrander states, “A Christian university seeks to provide an overarching framework that gives a sense of purpose and unity for everything from English literature to chapel to intramural football.” Through OBU, students gain a well-rounded education by taking not only classes for their majors but also classes in most subjects. In today's society this is what Dr. Kagan thinks: “I suggest, it should include a common core of studies for all its students. This would have many advantages, as it would create an intellectual communion between students and teachers that does not now exist and would encourage the idea that learning and knowledge are good things in themselves” (Donald Kagan). Even if we have a college degree, we gain knowledge outside of that that will help us later in life. A liberal arts education is valuable because you get a little bit of everything. I personally believe it makes you a well-rounded person. You might be an expert in one thing and that's great, but while in OBU there are chances to not only commit to a specific field, but get a little bit of everything. Other schools don't force you to go to chapel, take religion classes, or even classes outside of your major. Another thing about… halfway through the paper… and with a homework lesson I can take a nap or watch Netflix. This should give me some motivation along with the need to get good grades, because after I graduate I can have my dream job, and that's the goal. My third fear is more complicated than the other two because this one isn't just about school, it's about life, and in life we ​​make mistakes and sometimes we're not good enough. This is something I have to realize and I also have to do my best in everything I do. This will probably be my hardest fear to accept, but it will be the most beneficial one for me if complications arise. While at OBU I plan to have a lot of fun, but I also plan to receive a lifelong education. By agreeing with my fears and getting the most out of my core classes, I will learn more beyond my degree. I will get an education that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
