Sunday school

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. Then it moves to high school youth group and college. My earliest memory of church was when we met above the thrift store in town. As the church began to grow, we moved different places.

Julien.Session1.Journal in my life. I would go to church on Sundays with my grandmothers but it never made sense to me. My father’s mom was Methodist and my mother’s mom was Baptist. I was already confused. My parents believed in God but didn’t go to church or it wasn’t necessarily a priority to them. They didn’t make it mandatory or cared if we went to church or not.

I was ignorant about the values that I could gain when volunteering in the community and school, and discouraged by the lack of authority from African Americans in my high school, which has, unfortunately, always been this way.

“So everyone can go to school in America?”, the eleven year old maid at my uncle’s house in Karachi, Pakistan, asks me. Mahera explains how she's always been told she was born a maid, will die a maid, and her future generations will also be maids. Millions of children like Mahera don't have access to education. Her eyes widen as she passionately describes her dream of attending school, a notion that I’ve always viewed as a right instead of a privilege. This was a defining moment for me- I…
