Spiritual wellness is the most important dimension of wellness that is helping me throughout my journey here at the University of Michigan. I chose spiritual wellness because my relationship with Jesus helps me to give him credit in the good times and to endure through the tough times. This dimension has really helped me balance my relationship with Jesus and my schoolwork. I have a lot of support coming from God, my church family, my parents, and my friends that helps me to maintain and develop my spiritual wellness. Bridge Scholars PLUS has helped me to remind myself to keep assessing my spiritual wellness, so I am where I need to be in my relationship with Jesus.

My family has been very supportive when they know I am having a hard time with classes. My dad texts me scriptures to help me through the week and he lets me know that he is praying for me. My mom is always there to encourage me along the way, offering her love, support, and prayers. My friends, inside and outside of church, are also very helpful with my spiritual support. Some of my friends send me encouraging scriptures and others give me words of encouragement, checking in with me to see if I am doing okay.

I receive peace, love, and happiness every time I hear a sermon preached, fellowship with my brothers and sisters, and worship God together. I know how to apply what I learned in church to my time here at the University of Michigan as a student.
I have learned how to be very active in the church and balance my schoolwork at the same time. I hang out with friends from church who can help me grow spiritually while at the same time go to the library and study for hours. I sing on the youth praise team and being on that team gives me so much support in school from the songs that we sing and in my daily life. Knowing that God will never forsake me, and always have my best interest at heart truly gives me peace of mind. I am excited for what is in store for me in the future and I am anticipating and expecting great
