My name is .

I am a senior in high school and I am 17.

As one of the students in the school program I received a textbook.  I am not generally excited about books but this one was different.  It asked me questions that made me think about life.  One day someone from the United States came to our classroom to talk about our choices in live.  The biggest choice was to ask Jesus to help me.  That day I prayed for the first time that I really meant it.  My mom was so happy.

Working with the Mission Generations program I learned about the

importance of respecting other people and loving my parents. The value I learned to be most relevant to me is confidence.  It is important to me not to be discouraged when I let myself down and always keep on trying and trying without succeeding.   I learned that every experience can be a positive impact because I learned new things. I would advise guys my age not to hang out with bad friends ‘cause they are not true friends.

With gratitude,
