A Milestone - Mariyah
“I’ve been reading my Bible more, going through my devotions more, and praying more than I ever have,” Mariyah said. “If I could give anyone any advice I would tell them to continue to always grow closer to God.”
Now we would like to celebrate Mariyah, a resident of our Measnville Campus, who is graduating from Pike County High School. After graduation, Mariyah plans to go on to a technical school to hopefully become a Certified Nurses Assistant. But her dream job is to be a barista in a coffee shop so she can finally get that cup of coffee she's been wanting since she was four years old.
“It has always interested me to be a nurse and I think with my love for helping others and learning new things all the time I would be good at it,” Mariyah explained. “I also want a really good cup of coffee.”
While staying busy with her studies to graduate high school, Mariyah has many hobbies that keep her busy as well. She is very creative and loves painting, drawing, coloring, and exercising in her free time. She also loves animals, especially her cats. There are just too many to name.
When Mariyah first arrived at the Meansville Campus, she was filled with nervousness and anxious about her new journey, but she soon realized there was nothing to be worried about.
“I was scared when I first got here because I didn’t know anyone,” Mariyah explained. “But over time I learned that I had an amazing support system behind me and also made some friends along the way.”
Mariyah says that the staff at Meansville have become a big part of her life and impacted her greatly especially in her spiritual journey.
“I’ve been reading my Bible more, going through my devotions more, and praying more than I ever have,” Mariyah said. “If I could give anyone any advice I would tell them to continue to always grow closer to God.”
Join us in praying that God surrounds Mariyah and He helps her to use the knowledge, skills, and insights gained through her education for His glory and inspire her to believe in the goodness of life even when faced with challenges and difficulties. As she commences with her life, may she grow even more closer to God.
