The War Cry | July 21, 2012
WC:
Are you ready to go your own way?
Daniel:
I'm ready to go my own way. APU (Azusa Pa-
cific University) prepared us for that. We learned a
lot about having different sets of friends, living apart
from each other.
David:
I'm not worried about going in my own direc-
tion. I'm excited to keep going on my journey. I do
hope we stay close enough to see each other, but I'm
really guns blazing, let's go.
Sarah:
I know that APU has prepared us individu-
ally, but I'm very motherly. It's sad that we're all
going different directions because then I can't watch
out for them. I'm sure we'll stay pretty close. I need
people in my life. It's going to be an adjustment for
me personally.
Naomi:
I'm extremely excited. Our majors are so
different and it's exciting to get to see people who
are so close to you pursue something that they
love. There will be times I'll miss them. We've built
a foundation with our family
and friends. And now, this is
a launching pad.

A Conversation
......H......
Two days after David, Daniel, Sarah and Naomi's 22nd birthday, the
War Cry sat down with
the Abella quadruplets. They had just graduated--all four of them--from Azusa Pacific
University, a Christian college in Southern California. Their parents, Majors Danny and
Carole Abella, also added their perspectives to the discussion. The
War Cry has done prior
stories about the Abella quads. The occasion of their college graduation seemed an appropriate
time to check in with them again.
