Nine months ago, I arrived on campus carrying more questions than answers. I was a huge skeptic, especially when it came to Christianity.
I didn’t just struggle with faith; I viewed it with a sense of doubt and, at times, negativity. Still, I came with an open mind, unsure of what I would find but willing to explore.
Looking back now, that openness became the doorway to everything that followed.
Over time, my understanding of what it means to think, live, and multiply like Jesus has completely changed. I used to see Christianity as restrictive or out of touch, but now I see it as radically different in the best way.
Christians are meant to stand out, not for the sake of being different, but because they are shaped by the love of Jesus. I’ve come to understand that His way of living is rooted in a deep desire for our highest good. It’s about transformation through love.

One of the most impactful experiences for me was the trip to Washington, D.C. I’ve always been interested in politics, but that trip gave me a new lens. It showed me that influencing culture doesn’t have to mean compromising faith. Instead, it can be a way to reflect Christ in spaces that deeply need Him. That realization stuck with me and continues to shape how I think about my future.
But the most defining moment of this year happened on December 9, 2025.
That’s the day I gave my life to Christ after months of learning, conversations, and support.
I wasn’t alone; my discipler was there, walking me through everything with patience and care. After, I was celebrated, surrounded by a community that supported me, prayed for me, and rejoiced with me, I experienced God’s grace in a tangible way.
Looking ahead, I plan to attend Kennesaw State University, where I’ll major in Psychology and minor in Political Science.
My goal is to become a United States Foreign Service Officer, using that platform to influence culture for the Kingdom.
But beyond academics and career, I want to live a life of disciple-making. That starts with investing in the people around me, classmates, friends, anyone God places in my path. Faithfulness, for me, means living out my beliefs daily and reflecting Christ in every environment I step into.
To everyone who supported and prayed for me this year: thank you. Your investment in my life has made an eternal impact. I am who I am today, in part, because you believed in what God could do in me. And now, I’m stepping forward, ready to live it out.
We believe that when a student is rooted in truth, they become a catalyst for the Kingdom wherever they go. Help us continue to forge disciples who possess the resolve to stay faithful and the tools to make disciples. Your investment in the Multiply Fund makes this transformation possible.
