However, there are many people, Christians, who are faced with certain death if they are found out to be Christians. Many of us here at Lipscomb have no idea what it’s really like to face such harsh persecution because of our faith. There are some students on campus, however, who do know first hand. Here is one of Lipscomb’s own and her story on what that kind of Christian life is like. Shaman Alavi grew up and lived in Iran until four years ago when her family, in her own words, miraculously moved out of Iran and settled in the Nashville area. Shaman’s childhood for the most part was not all that different from a typical young American. She grew up with her mom and dad and younger brother, and as a young girl, she spent her time going to school and moving from town to town depending on her father’s work.

Name, Hometown, Major 1. Amy Trykowski, Dumfries, Va., Biology 2. What’s next for you after graduation? Heading back home to get some job experience. I’m going to apply for a physician’s assistant program. I want to volunteer as an EMT (emergency medical technician) and possibly assistant coach for high school or club volleyball or soccer. 3. Long-term career goals? To become a PA (physician’s assistant). My back up plan is teaching biology and coaching soccer or volleyball. 4. What is the most important thing you learned at Lipscomb?
