Dear Prospective Student:

There always are so many events that drag us from where we want to be. Imagine, for instance, that you have a river in front of you. On the other side, a leafy tree with wonderful fruits is waiting for you. You want to cross the river. The force of the water, however, makes the passage impossible. This is what happens in our lives: we know where we would like to go, but the events prevent us from reaching our goals.

Now imagine that you have a rope that goes up to the tree. Using this rope, you will be able to make the passage. All the obstacles will be overcome. All your efforts will be changed into victory.

God places so many things within the reach of our hands. He gives the challenges, but He also gives the opportunities. He gives us the chances. He also gives us the vision that will help us to reach all the objectives. He gives us the rope. If we are firm, the vision will help us to take on the positions that God has already given to us. This vision is the rope tied to the tree that will take us to the success.

Through your enrollment in our College, you are beginning a really new stage in your life. To get the degree will be a challenge for you, but God will be with you, giving the vision and the force. And then, earlier than you imagine, you will be one of our victorious graduates.
We welcome you to our College. We really hope you will find all your classes to be enjoyable and that your studies will come along nicely.
