For me, I have grown up with Christianity. Ever since I was born I have been in raised in church. The church I attended while growing up was great. It was a small church plant and we moved around a lot. My story starts with Sunday school and my hatred for it. It then moves to Good News Club which would make the biggest impact on my life.

I was so upset because I could not get into the education program. I was very upset and finally surrendered my future to God and asked for guidance. I decided I would do theology and CHML because it would help me in a future career serving God as well as I enjoyed the theology classes I had
