Before I went to Tower Hill, I felt a bit lost with who I was and who I wanted to be. I was able to acquire the things I thought would make me happy, but deep down they weren’t bringing the joy I wanted. I looked to a good friend of mine who seemed to always be happy, and I knew he went to Tower Hill. I asked one day if I could join him, and he said, “of course!” It has been 9 months since I first went to Tower Hill, and I go every week. I’ve made many friends, have grown a lot in my faith/as a person, and I’ve found a second home. The first time I went I felt very welcomed by everyone and knew I would be coming back as much as I could. Tower Hill, thank you for all you’ve done for me and I can’t wait to make more memories.

My faith in Christ is the foundation of who I am. My whole world and the way I approach it changed the day I let Christ into my life. Attending a youth group every Wednesday night and going to church every Sunday morning has given me a strong community full of friendships that make me feel like I’m home. My faith motivates me to be a compassionate, humble, and selfless person. I am lucky enough to have had the opportunity the past four summers to attend mission trips to Maine, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, with the goal of helping other people. These trips have shown me that service is more than just work you do on someone’s house, it’s about being able to talk to people and getting an opportunity to carry a piece of their stories with you throughout your life.
