The best is
yet to come
As Bethany Lipscomb (’20) prepared to attend college, she was at a phase in her life where she wanted something different than a small private Christian school that was close to home and to everything she had always known. But God had other plans.
One thing after another kept leading her to NGU. “No mat- ter how hard I tried to fight it,” she said, “This was the place God clearly wanted me [to be].”
Even though Bethany had never envisioned herself at NGU because it was so close to home, her feelings began to shift. “Many people overlook NGU because it's not flashy and glamorous from the outside looking in,” she stated. “But once you get put in the culture, and you see it for yourself, you fall in love with the ‘view.”’
Attending NGU impacted Bethany in more ways than she ever imagined. While on campus, she was given an oppor- tunity to do sideline reporting, a type of sports reporting on the field that closely observes what is happening during the game, and she interviewed players and coaches over the course of the match.
As a broadcast media major, participating in this form of broadcasting allowed Bethany to get a taste of what she wants to do for the rest of her life. “NGU gave me the opportunity to see a glimpse of my future,” she stated.
After graduating this spring, Bethany is the first person in her family not only to graduate, but even to attend college, a remarkable achievement. Because sports were halted due to the COVID-19 virus, Bethany’s plans of sideline report- ing were also delayed. This did not deter her and she has stayed busy working as a secretary for the Poinsett Club in Greenville.
MAY 2020 GRADUATE
Although her future career has been put on hold for the time being, Bethany married this past August and is ready to start working as a sideline reporter as soon as sports start again.
“At this point, I am going with the flow,” Bethany says. “But I do know the best is yet to come.”
