About me.

 My name is Cody Gorel. I just turned 22 a few days ago and I'm a Christian Ministries major at Valley Forge Christian College. I am engaged and am planning with my future wife to get married in September. I am not really sure what I am going to be doing with the rest of my life or where it is going to be. I am passionate about music and helping people. At this point in my journey, I am soaking up (or trying to) everything that  I can because I truly have no idea where or what I need to be or do.
 Music is a big thing in my life so I listen to and play (on my guitar) large amounts of it and different genres as well, although my favorite thing to listen to (and play) is spirit-filled hardcore/heavy music. I have a lot of empathy for people in that scene probably because I grew up in it. There are not too many Christian groups or Christians for that matter that venture out to build relationships with kids that do listen to that music. However in the recent years more and more bands that are, in actuality a ministry, have sprung up and tour extensively all over the globe.
 I love to read. I love to learn about things and read about almost anything. With school it is hard to do because of the immense about of course work, but during breaks I try to read a book. I am actually really looking forward to reading more once I get out of school and by reading more I mean books that interest me and do not depend on a grade.
 I am really looking forward to this class. It is not like anything I have taken so far and that is a very welcome thing. I hope to learn as much as I can about whatever it is we talk or hear about in class because I never know where or what I am going to use it or need it.
