Youth group, reading and playing lacrosse
This year was my first year playing lacrosse on a school team, and I enjoyed and learned so much by being apart of a team. I learned to be encouraging and uplifting. I have been involved in my current youth group since I was in 6th grade. We have several fund raisers to help provide money for the trips our youth group takes every summer. We play games and have sermon every Wednesday and Sunday nights. Reading has almost been a hobby that I enjoy especially on my downtime. I read self motivation books along with young adult novels.
