High Honor Graduate - Kali

We are delighted to acknowledge Kali who is graduating from Appling County High School Summa Cum Laude. After graduation, Kali plans to attend Coastal Pines College to complete her core classes and save up as much money as she can before attending a four year college later on. 

While spending the majority of her time studying and graduating with such high honors, she also enjoys singing, songwriting, drawing, and crocheting which really helps to ease her mind. 

“I don't have many extra curricular activities as far as school goes, but I do have a job at Hardee's in Baxley,” Kali explains. “It’s taught me a lot of things as far as working with customers, being patient, and learning real life skills that I will need to know in the future.” 

Before coming to GBCH&FM, Kali had been to an array of group homes where she struggled a lot and never felt like she was accepted or had a family to call her own. 

“Since being here, I feel like I have been able to express myself better and I've been given many more opportunities than anywhere else I've ever been,” Kali said. “This whole experience has shown me how to mature and how to let go of a lot of things from the past.”   

Kali says that she has been treated like family since she first arrived and she has grown close to so many staff members since being at GBCH&FM. 

“Miss Linda has helped me through really everything because she is so motivational and to the point,” Kali explained. “I want the staff here to have all the appreciation they deserve because they've been nothing but great to all of us.” 

As Kali has been with GBCH&FM, she has learned more about God and who He is. 

“Before I got here, I knew about God but it wasn't anything really soul level,” Kali said. “I didn't grow up going to church but when I got here,  the staff helped me through everything and took me to church. They welcomed me in everything and I actually got baptized in September, and since then I've grown stronger and stronger learning new verses of the Bible.” 

Kali is grateful for her time at GBCH&FM and looks forward to her bright future. 

Pray with us for Kali that God continues to guide her in all of her adventures. That she will pursue her relationship with God wholeheartedly and hold steadfast to His promises for her life. We ask that God provides guidance and discernment as she begins her new journey. 

Congratulations Kali! We are so proud of you and all your accomplishments!
