Answer ing the Cal l : Real

Deacon Jordan Evans

I always knew that I wanted to make an impact on the world. God had given me great academic talents and a great opportunity to study in a prestigious engineering program. Innovation was how I thought I would make a difference. But by the time I graduated, I was on a different path. I had always planned on continuing to go to Sunday Mass on campus. At the end of my four years, I was participating in bible studies, planning ministry events, and even attending daily Mass. I had always looked forward to making new friends and having the time of our lives together. When graduation rolled around, the greatest friendships I made were rooted in Christ. “I had a dream of attending Virginia Tech since I was ten years old. Today, I look back at my time in Blacksburg as a dream come true. The only thing is, the dream that I lived was different from the one I expected.”
