It’s a familiar story for many of Credo’s younger students: there I was, a somewhat awkward 14-year old, nervously flying across the country to a town called Oberlin for a summer music program I knew little about. It didn’t take long to figure out that I had nothing to be nervous about. I was quickly put at ease by the caring counselors and faculty, not to mention the somewhat awkward classical-music loving friends I made from day one.

It’s strange to look up from my desk at the Credo office and see the same view I saw 8 years ago as a recent college graduate, starting my first “real-life” job. The view hasn’t changed, but Credo has, and so have I.
