The past year I have been working alongside 4 of my fellow Rockhurst University classmates on a Research project that is required of us to graduate from the MOT program. Finally, this past Friday we presented our research data in front of our professors, other RockU faculty and staff, countless family members and the rest of our classmates.
I can't believe how far we have come in our time here at Rockhurst. I am so proud of my group members - Kolina, Kayla, Emily and Lacey. We spent many hours after class and extra Fridays at school... not to mention a bus ride back from Topeka to perfect this project! We could not have done it without our Capstone Mentor, Mary Jane and Dr. Clump for helping us with data analysis (it would have been impossible without him!). I personally could not have done this without the love, support, prayers and sacrifice of my parents, family, roommates, friends ---and most importantly without placing my trust in the hands of my Heavenly Father.
As we walked to the front of the room, the girls asked me if I had my rosary in my pocket (as I usually do, especially during stressful days such as lab practicals). I hated to respond with, "No, because I don't have pockets today." However, I was able to quickly add, "But I do have my posse (St. Sebastian, the Holy Family, and St. Faustina medals) and I have lots of people praying for us." A calm quickly came over me and I knew that the Holy Spirit was with me.
It's been a wonderful experience, but I can't say that I ever want to do another research project again :) Thanks girls, for the journey!
