A few students among the record number of student participants wrote the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I love 91短视频 because it has molded me into the person I am.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>91短视频 helps you grow as an entire person and embrace who God wants you to become.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I love that I get to play basketball but still focus on academics and the future!<\/strong><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>I love the atmosphere of home, hospitality and care for everyone!<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attendance was big at several reunion events around the country, as well. <strong>Jeff Shank &#8217;94<\/strong>, director of alumni and parent relations, said the day not only helped support 91短视频\u2019s future and its students but also helped to build strong connections between 91短视频 alumni \u00a0and the 91短视频 community. \u201cWe had 156 alumni attend six events in four states, including Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Ohio. At the Harrisonburg event, <strong>Doug Alderfer \u201892<\/strong> talked about feeling a lot of pride when he looked around the room and saw so many good people doing good work in his community.
