First Day of High School
Starting high school showed me that the world was bigger than I thought it was, and that there are so many people out there who are different than me. At Easley High School I not only learned to accept people's differences, but I learned to embrace them. -

Sophomore Year
Tenth grade year was rather uneventful aside from the fact that this was the year that I actually started to grow up. My academic life stared to take off from here. High school got harder and I had to really learn how to study. Classes were harder and this time was when I discovered how much hard work pays off. -

Changing My Mind
For the past 11 years, I had wanted to be a doctor. I was more sure of this than I was of anything. After taking a medical class at school, I was now 100% sure of something else: I did not want to be a doctor anymore. -
CHILL Christmas Weekend
CHILL Christmas Weekend was really the first time that I had ever seen teenagers having fun following Jesus. CCW was where I learned that I wanted to do ministry for the rest of my life. -
