I am 18 years old and a senior at Buffalo High school. I moved to Buffalo 13 years ago. I have 2 wonderful and supportive parents, Robb and Angel, and a 16 year old brother Evan, who is my best friend. Something my family and I love to do is travel and go camping in the summer time.
Next year I plan to attend Dakota County Technical College, and get a degree in Interior Design. I’ve always loved home decorating, and would love to be a home stager.
My go-to Bible verse is Psalm 30:5, and it says;
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
This verse reminds me that even though I make mistakes, God will always be by my side, even on the rough days.
Something I wish I could tell my younger self is to never let the opinions of other stop you from doing things that make you happy. My favorite youth group memory was when we were playing gaga ball last year and I finally won after Makayla kept getting me out. Something I love about myself is my determination, it’s hard for me to give up on things that I am passionate for.
To me, having a strong faith means that you know you will always have God to lean on, and He will help you through all your struggles. Even if you feel alone, He’ll always be there, loving you. A God moment that I will always remember happened two years ago, after I lost my grandpa Gary unexpectedly. I wanted to be alone and didn’t want to talk to anyone, so I would go for drives and I had a special spot I would park at. One night after a rough day, I pulled up and saw the most beautiful sunset in the sky. I didn’t feel alone anymore. Not only did I feel God with me, I knew my grandpa was with me too.
