The experiences that shaped my life are many and varied, but there is undeniably a central “theme” in my life. That is my Christianity. I started going to church with my parents since I was little, and I hated it. There seemed no point in going to church on Sundays nor did I have any interest in reading the Bible. Yet, I went.

It took until only roughly 2 years ago that I began to question my faith and come to grips with what I believed. I went to a short-term mission trip to Arizona to serve the Navajos on the Reservation. During that time, I struggled with my faith, or lack of, thankfully to some avail. I came back that summer a little more mature, and promptly began to see a change in the way I served in ministries and even just my entire attitude about Christianity. I had discovered something, a glimpse of something eternal, and good, something heavenly.

Now, as a student in Baruch, I’m excited to see the challenges that await me. I’m ready to take on hard classes and tackle the workload. I’m just a little nervous about the first semester as I struggle to find a balance between school, work, and church. But I’m excited and hopeful.
