My testimony starts when I was in middle school. I was not a good student. I would walk out of class and talk back to teachers students, and my parents. I was always angry and sad, and I struggled with bullying. I would hang out with bad friends to keep myself from feelig sad.
​
Because of these friends and choices that I made, I began to smoke with friends at school till one day I got caught and was sent to D.A.E.P. All the friends I had left me behind at this time. I realized how bad I had let things get, and I fell into a deep depression, and for a while, I wasn't getting better. I started cutting myself and tried to hurt myself, and was sent to a mental hospital.
​
I kept telling my mom that I didn't want to go back to school. I was afraid of getting bullied and treated badly, so she began to searh for a different kind of school. That's when she found KLA. I was scared and really didn't want to be there at all, but I soon met another student. She talked to me and shared her testimony about how she was bullied, too.
​
I listened to her talk about God and how his creations are all beautiful, and how my life could be if I let him take control of my life. I gave my life to God.

My testimony begins when I was 11 years old, and I had just graduated from elementary school. I had known who God was, but at the time, I had started to drift away from Him and become distant from Him. I stopped reading my Bible and praying. I wanted to fit in with friends, and my home life was at times difficult. I was diagnosed with depression and found comfort in getting high.
​
One day, I had overdosed and was found in an alley. I was taken to the hospital multiple times and placed in a mental hospital. I began to struggle with self-harm. I didn't really know what to do. I just wanted to go to sleep forever. One day while I was in the mental hospital, a nurse walked by the main lobby with books and I noticed the Bibles. I was hesitant and did not want to grab it until I heard a voice urging me to grab it, and so I did and found myself reading about how God always forgives, and I continued to read until I started crying and prayed for the first time in five years. I continued to read and pray. I learned that he is always close, even when we don't see Him and that He is always keeping me safe.
​
When I arrived at Kingdom Life Academy, prayer time with my teachers and classmates helped me and led me to want to get saved. So on October 21st of 2005, I gave my life to Christ.
​
I am now a changed person, I don't do drugs or self-harm, and I focus on school. My goal is to become a pediatrician. I've made lots of friends who are also Christians and understand what it feels like to be free. My relationship with my family has gotten better. It's not always perfect, but with God, anything is possible.

My testimony starts in a foster home. I didn't like being in foster care and at times felt out of place because of how I was treated while I was there.
​
I still sent to school, but struggled with my emotions. I missed my family and began to feel overwhelmed with these emotions that led me to struggle with depression. When I graduated from elementary school, I transferred to Kingdom Life Academy. The first thing that caught my eye was how supportive everyone was at Kingdom Life Academy. I began to hear about God every morning during our devotions, and that is how I started my journey to getting to know God.
​
I learned about the fruits of the spirit and came to understand what I was lacking, and saw that God was the only one who could help me. I prayed to God a day before I went on a mission trip and asked him to help me be a vessel of love, and I game my life to Him.
​
And now I am better with my self-control and have been able to experience the blessings God has to give; He has allowed me to see family and to be a leader here at Kingdom Life Academy.
