Moments | Andy Miller - An Identity Reborn

One night, Andy Miller took a breath and realized a change was needed. He was pouring everything he had into his duties as an academic advisor and football coach—his workweeks stretching to 80+ hours. Yet, Andy's most important duty—being a father—wasn't getting the attention it required or deserved. Something had to give. But what, exactly? Advising and football were who Andy was...or so he thought. At the hands of his rosary, Andy had his "light bulb moment"—despite helping his students discover their vocations, he had failed to define his own. Maybe his identity wasn't all about advising and football? Maybe he wanted it to be centered on how he raised his kids and grew alongside his family. Andy's focus changed, and so did he, deciding to go back to school, earn a doctorate degree, and attain a job that enhanced his day-to-day fulfillment, gave him the freedom to spend more time with those he cared about most, and allowed him to live in accordance with his newly reborn identity—that of a present father, loving husband, and humble servant.
