Say hello to this week’s student spotlight, Sayer Pescosolido! 💡 @sayer_pesco is a Sophomore on the @bushnellxctf teams, majoring in Business with a minor in Leadership. Sayer’s career goal is to own his own business or be a part of a management team. He also finds interest in Real Estate Appraisal. Sayer is heavily involved with the school as he is a part of athletic teams, ASBU as last year’s Freshman Representative and this year’s Sophomore Representative, and he works with Admissions as a tour guide. Sayer feels Bushnell has been preparing him for his future career and enhanced his faith in God, stating, “Based off what I am learning in classes, my professors are preparing me on how to develop a business and be a part of one. Bushnell has also helped me develop my faith a lot more than it was. My relationship with God before Bushnell wasn’t as intact as it is now, so I have been able to explore that more and build on it.” Sayer’s advice to students who are struggling balancing school life and social life, is to surround yourself with people that want to see you succeed, “Sometimes you need to take a step back to reevaluate what your priorities are. Surround yourself with good people who not only understand you but are able to support you and give you straight honest answers when you need them.”

We are proud to have you as part of the Bushnell community. We thank you for your service and all that you do!

Say hello to this week’s student spotlight, Ester Ambrocio! She is a junior RA, majoring in Youth Ministry. Ester’s career goal is to work with the youth, whether it’s through the church as a youth pastor or through a school. She enjoys participating in extracurricular activities that are fun and enjoyable to do with her friends, such as the Salsa Club, the Just Dance Club, and she is a leader of a small group on campus. Ester describes the best part about Bushnell to be the community, “I love the community. I love my professors because they are so awesome. They like to get to know their students, allowing for a more personal connection with them. It’s exciting to see my professors be excited for me and the things that I want to do. With the community, it’s very much like family and like home. My home inside of home.” “Be a part of the community. Reach out when you need help because we are not meant to live life alone,” advises Ester for students who are struggling balancing school life, social life, work, or extracurricular activities. “Take time to take a deep holy breath and keep moving. I am still learning too.”
