Freshman Abigail McGraw is a music major from Warren with plans to teach private music lessons while being a stay-at-home mom.
“I have always enjoyed singing, and I wanted to do something where I could make money from home because I want to homeschool my kids,” says McGraw.
McGraw is an Arkansas Governor’s scholar and was awarded a scholarship. She is a member of the Student Activities Board and a member of the CBC worship choir. The things that she is passionate about include music, singing and piano.
“I have been singing alto at church for as long as I can remember. I think I really started getting into piano when I was around 11 to 12 [years old]. I never actually had formal piano lessons though,” says McGraw. “Everything I knew before coming to CBC, I either learned from my mom or taught myself.”
Family plays a big role in McGraw’s life and she has hopes of being just like her mother someday.
“Most of my decisions have something to do with my family,” says McGraw. “I’ve always admired watching my mom and I honestly want to be just like her. I want to be as big of a blessing to my future husband and kids as she is.”
McGraw originally knew about CBC because it’s where her parents went to school, but she didn’t make the decision to attend CBC until last year.
“Last year we were helping my cousin move in and I just loved the campus, so I started looking more into it and the more I read about it the more it felt right,” says McGraw. “Just being on campus feels like home.”
