Our Students

Here is the whole group, before we left Oklahoma.

It is an extraordinary privilege to travel around Europe, and it is wonderful to be based in Vienna. It has been a great experience already, for all five Hueys! Nonetheless, our days are very full, and we have been pretty tired – beyond the thrill of traveling, GEO is a full-fledged and demanding academic experience.

It has been more than some of us anticipated!

Our forty-eight students have been overwhelmed, at times, and their needs are sometimes overwhelming for their four sponsors, as well. We have classes to prepare, assignments to grade, field trips to arrange, and problems to solve. And we sometimes wonder . . .
• What should we do, when we see a student who doesn’t quite fit with the others?
• How do we help, when a student has trouble with her credit card?
• What can we do, when a student continually “forgets” or “misinterprets” the rules?

There are lots of challenging situations. Nonetheless . . . our students have been a significant part of the blessing, here. It is particularly enjoyable to sit and talk with them, and to learn about their backgrounds. One, Ben Peterson, comes from Austin – Keith just happens to know Ben’s father, Jeff, who teaches New Testament at the Austin Graduate School. Another, Jacob Hawkins, comes from Cabot, Arkansas, and knows the family of Keith’s sister, Beth. We have enjoyed their energy, their humor, and their insights. It is also amazing to see them tackling Europe: they get train schedules, they find hostels, they try to communicate.

Were we so confident, when we were 19 years old?
