    One thing that I always hear about myself is how much of a balanced person I am. At first I thought this had to do with my physical ability to balance and that wasn't it. The balance that I identify with is the ability to balance time and effort between my academics, my athletics, and social life. I find myself doing this better and better every year, as I am faced with more strenuous work loads and more responsibilities in my athletics. The teachers and coaching staff at renbrook have helped me become a lot more independent when it comes to managing my own time.…

I remember not believing her until seeing first hand what she was talking about during my voyage to Africa.…

He knows that I trust and have faith in Him, and likewise, I know He trusts and has faith in me. Many people do not think about God having faith and trust in them, but He does.…
