My life; it was not all that interesting. I lived in a town where one minute was like one hour. It seemed like time was slower in Grandville. That city impacted what my life was like. For the longest time ever, my life was on repeat. I had a routine and stuck to it. Nothing exciting happened to me. Every day I would wake up, go to school, get back home, do homework, watch youtube, go to sleep, and do it again. It was almost as if I were stuck in a movie, and no matter how many times you watched it, it would always ends the same. I never realized that my daily life was the same old thing over and over again until one day when I asked myself, “Why am I here?”
I don't talk about my faith much, but a couple years ago I attended my first Wyldlife club with some of my best friends. Wyldlife is a program where you come together every week and talk about Jesus. Younglife is the same thing, but just with high schoolers. Sometimes, you can get the chance to go to some awesome camps. My first camp was Timberwolf. We were only there for the weekend, and on Sunday night, the only problem was that I didn't want to leave. I wished that I could be there longer. During this camp was when I realized that I wanted to change my life for the better, and really focus on my faith. The next camp that I went to was Michindoh. Here, they challenged us to give our lives to God, and let him take you on the road you were meant to go on. I remember one day at Michindoh, we had ten minutes to lay in the grass in silence and just think. Prior to this event, I have been baptised, but it was at this moment that I realized what it meant and the importance of it. Who knew that just laying down looking at the blue sky could change the way you look at your life forever. Ever since then, I decided to do just that. I have come to realize that my life has been so much more organized, and no matter the conditions, I should try my  best to make a happy environment.
It took me years to realize, but my town is not slow, I just made it seem slow. Now I don’t take one day for granted, and a view each sunrise as a new opportunity. Throughout this journey of my life, it has been very important, and clear to me that I should keep my good friends close, and unfortunately block out the ones that bring me down. The friends that I have now are so supportive and help me grow as a person, and in my faith. I believe that this group of girls are going to be with me in my ups and downs forever. I am beyond blessed to have people who care about me as a person, and make me who I am today. My life; it is now very interesting.
