would move 12 hours away to attend college. During my senior year of high school, I came to visit Missouri Western State University for the first time. During this visit I met with many faculty and staff. I felt so welcomed and cared about during my visit. A member of the psychology department sat down with me and my dad to tell us about their program. I also met with other staff members in the athletic department, from compliance to media. As a senior in high school I was overwhelmed by the thought of being so far from home and moving to a new state. The effort they put into my visit showed me just how much this college cares about me as a student and how much they want me to succeed.\u00a0 After my first visit here, I knew this would be my new home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four years later, there is no other place I would rather be than here at Missouri Western. I am grateful for all the opportunities MWSU has given me. The faculty and staff have been so supportive through my time here. Missouri Western is unlike any other school.\u00a0 The small class sizes allow for a more personal relationship between students and professors. The professors and coaches treat me with respect and encourage me to excel. Having these relationships has boosted my confidence as a student and as a person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Missouri Western is a special place. I hope you will consider giving to the MWSU Foundation to help students like me be successful in our careers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:25px;margin-bottom:25px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-button.button-2 .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-2 i {color:#000000;}.fusion-button.button-2 .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#000000;}.fusion-button.button-2:hover .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-2:hover i,.fusion-button.button-2:focus .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-2:focus i,.fusion-button.button-2:active .fusion-button-text, .fusion-button.button-2:active{color:#000000;}.fusion-button.button-2:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider, .fusion-button.button-2:hover .fusion-button-icon-divider, .fusion-button.button-2:active .fusion-button-icon-divider{border-color:#000000;}.fusion-button.button-2:hover, .fusion-button.button-2:focus, .fusion-button.button-2:active{border-color:#000000;}.fusion-button.button-2 {border-color:#000000;border-radius:4px;}.fusion-button.button-2{background: #ffc700;}.fusion-button.button-2:hover,.button-2:focus,.fusion-button.button-2:active{background: rgba(255,194,14,0.78);}<\/style><a class=\"fusion-button button-flat fusion-button-default-size button-custom button-2 fusion-button-default-span fusion-button-default-type\" target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/psychology\/\"><span class=\"fusion-button-text\">Psychology Website<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-3{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-3 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 30px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 30px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":2114,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[33],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2111"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/145"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2111"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2111\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2116,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2111\/revisions\/2116"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2114"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2111"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/succeed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
