The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
I have set the LORD always before me: for He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
Psalm 17:6 & 8 🤍

Not only has college unveiled my weaknesses, but my determination, intelligence, resilience and capability—even in the midst of chaos. I would be remiss to not give all glory to God. From finding parking spots, navigating a different country alone, to acing exams—only One has carried me through it all.

The day I have been waiting patiently for has finally arrived…

Special thanks to @utc_cie and @utcrollinscob for all the support! 💙💛

Started with one kid named Brooks and a question I couldn’t stop asking. Grateful to every mentor, every family, and every discovery interviewee who got us here.

Chattanooga showed up.
