1. The first thing that I love to do is to hang out with my friends and family. This especially brings joy to my life because I am spending time with the people that I love. Also, I get to strengthen my relationship with each of my friends and family members.

[E]xperience

I took my first mission trip to Houston, Texas when I first joined youth group. During this week, we did lots of service projects to serve others. During that week, God definitely worked through me, and He had changed my life. Towards the end of the week, I just knew deep in my heart I wanted to give my life to Christ. As soon as we got back home that Sunday, I got baptized.

Church: South Yukon Church of Christ

The first positive experience for me was my first mission trip to Houston, TX. This was my first year being in youth group.

Jesus Christ opened my eyes to something that changed my life. I can know share this experience and the good about Jesus Christ, and what He is capable of doing.

The second positive experience for me was when I graduated high school. It has definitely helped me down the road with my education.

The third positive experience for me was

During my Sophomore year of college, three of my really great friends told me that I was not a genuine person to them. This has helped realize that I need to help others around me realize that they are worth it and that they are genuine people.

When I was playing basketball, 7th-8th grade, I was picked on a lot by some of my teammates. After this happened, I can reach out to those kids who are being picked on, and I tell them my experiences.

The last experience was when
