2013 HighlightsPersonal Statement
I have completed one season at Illinois Wesleyan University this past fall, but I am feeling called to attend a University that will help me strengthen my relationship with God. I previously wanted to be a high school guidance counselor, but I intend on changing my major to Ministry in hopes to work with youth and families. After my bachelors in Ministry, I plan to go on and complete my masters in counseling to more capable to help guide people in the right direction. I want to spread the good news of Jesus Christ; I want to help others become dangerous witnesses and love ridiculously. My hope is to transfer to a school that has students, coaches, and professors who will walk alongside me in my walk all while playing the sport I've loved since the age of ten.
