Hannah Hernadez
Hannah received many recommendations to attend FPU, but none more important than her grandfather’s when he told her as a young girl, “Mija, you need to go to that Christian school.” Many years later and with the help of financial aid, Hannah is a student majoring in liberal studies with an English minor. She plans to be a 5th grade teacher and is receiving valuable experiences now as an after-school program coordinator.
“The people here are so friendly. They take time to learn your name. At the junior college I attended I didn’t know anybody after being there five years. I feel like I basically know everyone here.
“Last fall, I lost a younger cousin to leukemia. It was a very tough semester for me, and I struggled personally. My professors were very concerned not just because I missed some classes, but they were really concerned with how I was doing. FPU professors are a special breed, not just your average professors. They recognize their position as being called by God and placed at FPU by God. They have a lifestyle of servant leadership which is evident in their teaching.
“I’ve realized since being here that my goals are attainable, and I am capable. FPU has given me the resources to be successful, not only in my career but spiritually and emotionally. They’ve given me the extra push and the positive encouragement.”
