I am originally from South Dakota and never thought I would be going to school in Nebraska let alone this big city of Omaha, but I have thoroughly enjoyed all my years as a Creighton student. The memories will last a lifetime! I have one younger brother whom I go to with all sorts of questions: religious, personal, or just catching up. I have been unfathomably blessed in my family, friends, and opportunities I have been given. I try to live every second with as much joy as possible, expressing love to all those I meet in my every action as Jesus did to each individual he encountered.

Writing These Reflections:

My brother was my inspiration for beginning to read passages from the Bible every day. It truly is “the greatest love story ever told” from Genesis to Revelation. Having the opportunity to share my reflections I know will help me grow in expressing my thoughts, feelings, and desires, and hopefully allow others to realize their faith journey, although different from mine, is foundationally linked to the Scripture we share.
