Wesley Foundation of Greenville

This has been bothering me...so I am just gonna throw this out there, because I feel like after I put this in writing rather than just saying it to my best friends maybe I will feel better. 


A couple of weeks ago I went to Wesley after my rehearsal got out to give one of the guys something I borrowed of his back to him. When I walked in I gave the guy his thing back and was greeted by one of the girls and we talked about our running plans, because she is running a half marathon and I am running a 5K. After that short conversation I went to leave because my car was still running, only to find it was too hard to try to get out and the parking lot was packed. I went back in to let someone know that they needed to move their car so I could leave.  A girl I am not great friends with moved her car and then I ended up just parking behind her car, feeling sort of guilty for not giving everyone a chance to say hi to me. I came back in and was greeted with a huge hug from one of my favorite Wesley guys, which was the highlight of my night! I proceeded to this years president of Welsey where she acted slightly irritating and rude. She did not ask me how I was doing, but where have I been and assumed I was not attending Wesley anymore. I am sorry, but you know you are representing a campus ministry when you talk to EVERYONE?! Especially on the campus ministry's grounds you should act humbly and be, at the least, nice to me. Then she found out my car was the one blocking her in from hauling ass out of the place...I moved my car and thought maybe I do not need to come back here. I went back inside after moving my car and got to see the pastor. He was sooooo happy to see me and very eager to show me the newly renovated kitchen my mom had donated money to make happen. It finally looks like what a church kitchen should look like and I am glad my name is a part of this. The pastor and I then talked about the several suicides due to bullying and how awful it is and how that was his sermon that night. He wished I could have been there to give my input, but I had rehearsal. Well, I stayed later than I had planned to, to hang with the guy who gave me a huge hug. He is part of the reason I would stay at Wesley.


Well, one of the other girls at Wesley lets call her Lindsey gets on my damn nerves. She is right up there with my appreciation towards the president of Wesley. Lindsey is the the Hospitality officer at Wesley and a sophomore at ECU, but acts like a first grader. Her and two of the guys from Wesley like to do this little secret stare and gaze at each other while I am trying to have a decent conversation with them and then laugh. I don't know what your inside jokes/secrets are and really don't care to find out, but I would appreciate the time I am trying to act and speak like an adult with you that you would reciprocate that and do me the same. Lindsey, the president, and the two guys are a part of the reason I do not want to come back to Wesley.


I have already spoken on the fact that noone ever contacted me after the fall semester began and how disrespected I feel because of that, so there is no need for me to go into that story. You know how I feel and that is a big part of why I do not like Wesley.


I do not care who reads this from Wesley, you cannot change how I feel without showing me the respect and love I deserve as your neighbor and a part of your family. As of now, I do not feel as though Wesley Foundation of Greenville is an important part of my week. I deserve better!

  1. I think that you should always get your feelings out. Just know that your real friends care about and love you. Two students left Wesley and went to Cru and they both talk about how no one ever even contacted them after they left. It's a shame.

    Joy Weaver was the president when I was there and she was absolutely amazing!
