Hear it straight from the students! Below are some of our LFP students discussing their experiences.
“I found LFP mentoring extremely valuable because I could talk to someone who had gone through the academic program that I was just starting. She was able to answer all of my questions and calm any of my worries. As time went on, instead of gaining only a mentor, I gained a friend.”
“LFP has given me a community to surround myself with other leaders and Christians on campus, giving me access to a support system and friendships that not many other programs can provide. The mentoring program also provided me with a peer-led discussion to help me grow as a person and in my faith through my college journey.”
“Joining LFP was the best choice I made at Eastern. Not only did I meet people in my major but made wonderful friends within the program. I think of it has a jump start to meeting different people from many backgrounds but learning from them as well.”
“LFP has welcomed me with open arms and has become a family to me. I have gained life long friends and mentors through this program. It has allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and discover more about myself. I am so grateful for my experience. ”
“LFP has allowed me to lead on Eastern’s campus in roles that I never would have imagined myself. It has also allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and meet new people every single year. Through orientation my freshman year, I have made my closest friends that I will have for the rest of my life!”
“LFP has given me the opportunity to start off my college career with mentors, friends, and companions who want to see me succeed, who show interest in my goals, and who want to push me towards my absolute best. I love being a part of a lot of different leadership roles and opportunities, and this program not only rewards me for doing so, but makes sure I am staying as stress free, happy, and motivated as I possibly can be!”
“What I valued most from orientation that carried through throughout all of my LFP experience was the constant support I had from the members. Whether from my cohort or the leaders, LFP right off the bat made me feel loved and supported in a present way. They replicated the way Jesus loved so well, and they made the transition into college a thousand times smoother.”
“LFP has given me the opportunity to be a part of an amazing community that lives out servant leadership. The upperclassmen have given amazing mentorship to each freshman and have truly propelled me to my fullest potential on campus. Additionally, each student is given a large head start to meet a great group of people before truly having to start their classes. I don't know what I would do without LFP.”
“LFP has been a blessing in my life. This program has allowed me to step into the person God has called me to be and I have been able to make many life-long relationships in the process. LFP has also helped me refine soft skills like delegating, serving others, and problem-solving.”
