Canvas: Framing My Vocation and Career

I love Wheaton College. I love learning more about topics I am passionate about, and I have been blessed by relationships with my professors and peers. 

While I want to squeeze as much as I can out of my four years on campus, Canvas has helped me realize that some of my time at Wheaton is best spent by taking what I am discovering and considering how to apply that in a meaningful way after graduation. At a school like Wheaton, it is easy to get so wrapped up in what is going on in the here and now that I forget to spend time discerning what God could be preparing me for in the future. 

Canvas has encouraged me to think deeply about my interests and gifts and how those might interact with my career field. I know for myself and for many of my classmates, Canvas has prodded us to begin exploring our vocational calling and has supplied us with the tangible tools required to begin that search. 

I am thankful that, through Canvas, I am beginning to learn what it means to honor God with my current calling as a student, as well as whatever may be in store for me in the workplace.
