The Humans of MoBap
Inspired by the Humans of New York, I got acquainted with 10 wonderfully unique strangers at Missouri Baptist University this week. I asked people I’d never met to answer a question from a list I created, and we discussed their stories and outlooks on life. Come meet the faces of MoBap.
The Faces of Maplewood
This photo essay depicts the smiling people that make up the charming town of Maplewood, Missouri, including workers, customers and residents. This community is tightly knit, and I strived to capture the shared joy within these people through my photos.
When Death Knocks On Your Door
A snowy Sunday afternoon meant for fuzzy pajamas, hot chocolate and a Christmas movie quickly turned into one of the worst days of my life when my dad almost lost his life. During this experience, I saw God’s goodness firsthand and was reminded of how He is always in control regardless of our circumstances.
Running For My Life
Although it can be painful and miserable at times, running helps me clear my mind, focus my life, and connect with friends on days when my life feels out of control. During my college running career, I have practiced in different places around MBU’s main campus and made more memories than can be written.
Missouri Baptist University’s STUNT Makes History One Flip at a Time
MBU STUNT, although recently begun, begins to make its history and plant its roots as an upcoming sport and the future of cheerleading. The team works dedicatedly at becoming the best they can be and preparing for a bright future.

Online vs. In-Person Learning
Most students have taken both in-person and online classes throughout their college career, especially when we had to go online due to COVID-19. Students had to make the most of the situation, expected to learn just as much without being taught in person. So the question remains: Is online learning less effective?
The Five Most Important Character Traits
The five most important character traits to have are compassion, kindness, openness, honesty and humility. While it is easy to list these characteristics, it can be more difficult to put them into action.
Operation Spread Christmas Joy
The concept of giving is emphasized a lot throughout the holidays, yet often there is an idea of giving with the expectation of receiving something in return. One of the most life-altering lessons that I have ever learned was how to prioritize blessing others and expect nothing in return.
What’s Your Favorite Christmas Movie this Holiday Season?
The winter weather is a great time to get together with family and friends to pop in your favorite Christmas movie. With so many holiday movies to choose from, the Christmas classic “Elf” is a must-watch for sure. Additionally, there are many other Christmas movies that are at the top of the MBU community’s favorites.
