Jesus, Founder and Perfecter of Our Faith 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

Grace Through Faith
1. Learning how to receive His grace despite my shortcomings.
2. Striving to become molded and being more like Christ
3. Receiving and pouring out
4. Perspective- futuristic goals
5. When to speak and when to listen (slow to speak and quick to listen)- to become mature
6. Loving others even when I don't the strength
I want to be a freshmen in college. There are definitely times when I feel like a freshmen at heart, but I need to accept my responsibilities and grow up. Definitely eye opening perspective.
"Keep your head in ALL situations, endure hardships... discharge all the duties of your ministry." -2 Timothy 4:5

My Life In A Nutshell
Pictures Speak A Thousand Words:
^Above is the infant room @ UCMerced.
Volunteer Job- Early Childhood Educational Center. I volunteered at the preschool on campus at UCMerced for about a year in a half. Sadly Miss Christina left to take a job up in the Bay and Mrs. Amanda is on maternity leave. The entire dynamics of the classroom changed and one of the teachers I had worked with asked if I wanted to volunteer in the infant room. I definitely feel less drained volunteering in the infant room. Extremely different from what I am accustomed to.
The three other jobs:
1. Research Assistant in Professor Michelle Chouinard's Lab- Recruitment, Lab, Mandatory Meetings
2. Translator/Interpreter for Cantonese/English (Temporary)
3. Natural Sciences in Education- Teach Science in Fremont third grade
Aside from school, I've been to two retreats for DIVE.
Being on leadership is so fun and I enjoy forming relationships with the freshmen. :)
Freshmen Retreat- Bonfire
^Freshmen Retreat wit Dive Leaders
Fall Retreat- Free Time
Fall Retreat-Free Time/ Rock CLIMBING (My first time. SOOO SCARY!)
Fall Retreat- Games/Worship/Sermon (Not sure why I raised my two hands)
Other Activities! Miscellaneous
