A New Journey in Life


The past four years have changed my life. Seattle Pacific University has been a wonderful experience that has given me friendships, laughter, and a thousand unforgettable memories. I am eternally grateful for all of the opportunities that SPU has given me and will always remember those years of spontaneity, staying out late, painful hours of studying, and most of all the life-long friends that I have made.

It seems like yesterday that my parents dropped me off in my room on 5th Hill and said goodbye as I started my freshman year of college. Little did I know that the next four years were going to fly by and all of my expectations be completely exceeded!

As each chapter in my life comes to an end I am waiting with anticipation for the next chapter to begin. After much prayer and consideration I have decided to move to Brussels for the next 6 months. I will be living with a 17 year old girl who needs some companionship and support while she finishes her senior year of school and her mom is working in England. I have no idea how this experience is going to be, but I am confident that this is the direction that God has for me right now and I am eagerly waiting to see what He has in store for me!

In just 2 days I will be on my way to Brussels! My hope is that I can travel, study French, go to museums, soak up the culture, make new friendships, and become a more loving and compassionate person.
After I get back from this journey, I plan to begin working as a nurse... maybe Labor and Delivery or possibly Pediatrics. We'll see!
