Welcome to JD Van Hook's Senior Portfolio

Philippians 1:9-11

“9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.”

Hi, I’m JD Van Hook, and I’m excited to share my Senior Portfolio—a reflection of my journey at Wheaton College and the ways I have grown both personally and academically. This portfolio tells the story of who I am and who I have become through my education, experiences, and relationships.

Throughout my time at Wheaton, I have encountered both triumphs and challenges, each shaping my character and deepening my understanding of my calling. This portfolio serves as a testament to my development as a communicative leader—one who seeks to create better environments for others. Through friendships, baseball, and academic pursuits, I have learned more about my own character and, more importantly, who God has made me to be.

A guiding verse during my time at Wheaton has been Philippians 1:9-11, which speaks of love abounding in knowledge and discernment, leading to a life that reflects the glory and praise of God. The themes of this passage will serve as a foundation for showcasing my growth and the ways I have been shaped for the future.
