Escaping the City, Exploring the Country

Rebekah lives on a small farm in Trenton

where her father raises beef cattle.

      Though Avila is located in Kansas City, the most populated city in the state of Missouri, its students hail from a variety of backgrounds.  Trenton, MO, a small rural town approximately 95 miles from the Avila campus, is home to Rebekah Capeder, an AU freshman and member of the women's basketball team.  For Rebekah, and many other students, going home on the weekends is a refreshing way to escape the hustle and bustle of college life.

When she needs to escape, Rebekah hops on

 her 4-wheeler to roam the countryside. 

The creek is a popular destination;

 it always proves to be peaceful.  Rebekah enjoys a variety of hobbies, among which is skipping rocks.

Never wear anything you’re afraid of 

allowing to get dirty when going to the creek!

After enjoying the outdoors, it is a must to visit

 the water spout for a good thorough washing.

An old-fashioned rocking chair on the porch serves as

 the perfect location to unwind after a long day on the farm.
