What Is Your Favorite Movie and Book?
Movie: The Blindside. I love Sandra Bullock. I also really love true stories that are about family.

What Is A Challenge You Have Had To Face, And How Did You Overcome It?
I was persecuted for my faith in sports. But through lots of prayer and support from family and friends, I was able to witness to my volleyball team and get through it. Looking back my relationship with Christ was strengthened so much in that time. I would never want to go through it again, but it was a growing time where I relied on God’s love completely and had to rest completely in Him. Now, I am confident that no matter what I go through, God is with me and I can rely on him.
What Makes You Smile?
Everything. I smile really easily. To be honest, realizing how good God is and how much he has blessed me with makes me smile all the time. I love my family, playing volleyball, my dog, and KIDS. Another thing that lights me up is watching people wholeheartedly worship God. At school, we have an hour-long worship chapel on Sunday nights and it is so amazing seeing all of the people I go to school with, worshiping the God we serve at the same time. It is super powerful. One of my favorite things also is when little kids worship or talk about Jesus. I love a good sunrise too or nature in general.
What Have You Been Learning Recently?
I have been learning that my identity comes through Christ alone. I have had to rely on him more than I have ever had to before this semester and the change of moving to college. I learned that college, schoolwork, and friends can become overwhelming and how important it is to spend time in God’s word and prayer in order to balance it all. It is what brings me true peace.

Overall, they have taught me the steps of how to lead a Godly life.

What Is Your Favorite Thing About Your Mother?
The way she loves. She loves God, my dad, others, and us girls unconditionally. It is the truly the most beautiful thing. She shows it through selflessness and her willingness to give up her own comforts and desires in order to help others and show them that they are important. She is the one that everyone comes to for advice, prayer, comfort, encouragement, and a little yummy treat. She is just the best. I hope I can be half the woman that she is one day.
