Accomplishments
Above all, I consider the most significant accomplishment in my life to be one that Jesus accomplished through me. I may have done things of merit, but none that compare to the day I surrendered my life to Jesus at the age of 5.
I have faithfully attended my local church, Cornerstone World Outreach, from the time I was born, and it is there that I have served in various capacities, encapsulating my greatest accomplishments of all.
I eagerly lead our worship team, volunteer in our children’s ministry as a teacher, lead segments of our youth group and conferences, and as of recently, lead a ministry school (SMTI) for our church. I consider it high praise to be asked to run the school myself.
I've taken classes in sewing and cooking and was raised with a classical education where I completed three years of memory masters and was privileged to study language, arts, history, literature, debate, logic, and science.
This year, I am enrolling in Bible college to earn an associate's degree in theology. I greatly look forward to it knowing the Word of God is the single greatest source of life this earth possesses.
My time is no better spent than serving others, working hard, and in turn, glorifying God. It is in all of this that I find true accomplishment.
