Hey to all from an official 11th grader at Canyon High School!
Well I thought I would give everybody an update on how my first week of school went. I started on Monday and of course first day of school nobody really does anything except handout pieces of paper about the class and class rules, introduce themselves, etc. I had a good first day, all though I get out of school at 3:55 the bus didn't come until 4:40, so I didn't get home until a bit after 5:00, so that was the only bad highlight I guess of my first day/week haha! On Wednesday I saw a person at lunch who had a t-shirt that said: "I compete for the honor of Christ, the reputation of the Holy Spirit, and the glory of the One True God." That really stuck in my mind because it just encouraged and reminded me that I am not alone in this life long race.
Well after one week of school I already have 3 quizzes on Monday! I guess I have kind of gotten used to the routine and all at school, and I have all my classes and stuff memorized so that's good! Well I guess that's about all I have to say and just remember you're not alone and there are other people who are with you in this race!
Until next time
Love to all,
Jessie

The College Kid
Hello to all! Aaron here, sorry it has taken forever for me to post a new blog! I thought it was about time for me to give anyone out there reading a little update on my life!
During the summer, I continued working at S
ubway, and actually worked a few 30 hour weeks. The rest of the weeks it was fewer hours because of random days off for college-prep stuff or church ministries. Our family spent a night away in Houston, as we went to a Cardinals game! It was awesome to see a new stadium, and we got within feet of some of the Cards' players! I also spent a weekend at camp with the kids from church. We all had a blast, and got back safely, even if tired.
This week (tomorrow actually), I start school at Texas State U. in San Marcos, about 20 minute drive to the parking lot! I will be living at home and commuting, taking 16 credit hours spread over all 5 weekdays. History, speech, geography, english, music appreciation, and a freshman seminar are the classes I am taking. I am really excited for the opportunity to continue my studies, as well as to make new friends and be light to those around me. I am so grateful to God for providing the money for college! After applying for the FAFSA, and submitting my previous grades to school, I was blessed with a scholarship, as well as financial aid. Combined, all tuition was paid for, as well as a commuter meal plan and car-related expenses! I am thankful that God guided me in my college decision, as well as the blessing of not having to worry about finances for the time being!
During the school year, I will continue being involved at church as well as at Subway. This first week, my boss has me down for 18 hours of work. As always, I will be continuing my service with the church worship team, and also with the youth group. I am happy to report that a new-generation youth worship team is underway! The group is excited to be able to worship together, and though is small for now, is trusting in God to raise up new leaders! Thank you Hannah, Vincent, and Jessie for your commitment so far!
Well, this will wrap up this post. Look for more down the road from me! And if I forget, just remind me!!!

Registration!!
Hey to all!!
Well today I went to register for my junior year at the high school I will be going to: Canyon High School. Registration went well, I have 7 classes and 3 credit recovery classes I will have to do online at home. My counselor is very nice and she has handpicked my teachers for me, because she knows which ones will be best for me; from what she was telling me all of the teachers I am supposed to have are really nice and willing to work harder with me if I need it!
I am really excited to be going to public school again, since I was home schooled this past year. It is going to be a challenge at first, because I have never gone to an American public school before other than kindergarten, which I don't think really counts ha! I know God will help me through it and give me strength and wisdom.
I start school on the 24th of August which is exactly 3 weeks from today!! Like I said it is going to be very different from public school in Mexico, but I can do all thing through Christ who strengthens me!! (Philippians 4:13)
Well I am done writing for now until next time!
God bless!!
