MY JOY
Something that brings me joy is spreading the good news of Jesus Christ to the students and helping them grow in their academic and spiritual life. I love talking with the students about what they are going through and helping them overcome ay fears and struggles they have. Nothing beings me more joy than seeing kids gradually grow as the year progresses.
WHAT I LOVE ABOUT FRIENDS
What I love about friends is that they are always there for you in a time of need. Whether I’m having a good or bad day, the right friends are always there to support you no matter what with no judgement. With that, they are always there to tell you what you need to hear, even if you don’t want to hear it.
FAVORITE SPOT ON CAMPUS
My favorite spot on campus has to be the basement! I absolutely love the basement because that’s where my first “classroom” was here at Friends. It brings back so many memories, good and bad, that I’ll cherish forever.
BEST TEACHING MOMENT
My best teaching moment would have to be working really hard with a student all last year, and seeing their progress from being a D student, to being a solid B student. It was amazing to see their mindset change from thinking they were bad at math, to seeing how much potential they really had.
FAVORITE BIBLE VERSE (OR LIFE VERSE)
Galatians 2:20
I absolutely love this verse. It is such a great reminder of what God has done for us, and what happens when we commit our lives to Christ. There is so much power in this one verse!!!
BEST MEMORY AT FRIENDS
My best memory at Friends was every lunch last year. It started off with a group of 2-3 students that would come, hang out, and eat lunch in my classroom everyday. By the end of the year, there were about 20+ students hanging out with me downstairs. During that time, it was so awesome getting to learn about who they truly are in and out of the classroom. It was amazing to provide a space where those students felt comfortable to be themselves.
