My hometown is in many places. I lived in Page, AZ for 6 years and the Navajo Reservation for 9 years. I've lived in Riverside, CA for 7 years before moving to Arizona. I call Page, AZ, the Navajo Reservation and Riverside, CA my hometown. I am an undecided major. I am thinking about Special Education or Physical Therapy. I've always had a heart for serving people who are in need. On campus, I am part of a group that serves the community by delivering food to people in need. I talk to the families, pray for them if they want it and play with the children.
My religious affiliation and commitment are Baptist. But I grew up going to Baptist and Pentecostal churches my whole life. Since coming to Lee, I've experienced what the Church of God is. These experiences left me thinking about how I view myself as a Christian. Am I Baptist or Pentecostal or non-denominational? I try my best to attend church every Sunday even if I don't want to. While attending North Cleveland Church of God, my faith has improved. I can stay joyful even during stress. I attend a conservative independent fundamental old-fashioned Baptist church back at home.

When I was a teenager a pastor anointed me with oil. I still don't understand what any of that actually
