“I think growing up, people just told me that God existed and I was like, ‘Yeah okay sure.’ That’s normally how it works. You grow up and people tell you what to believe and you just believe it. I think when I really consciously started believing was... I’m not sure. I think there was a definitive point when i started believing in Jesus Christ, but I’ve always believed in God. Because when I look at the world and the way that things were created, especially since I started studying biology, things just work. And things work perfectly. It’s unbelievable to me that there’s not some sort of plan behind it all. I can’t imagine that things just happen to be like this. Right before this school year was the turning point in my faith, because I realized there’s a lot more important things that happen than what goes on here. Essentially, I made a big mistake around this time last year and it took Glorieta, New Mexico to make me realize I needed forgiveness. Even though we mess up, we’ve only got one life and there’s no point in focusing on all the bad things we’ve done when you have so much life ahead of you. Life goes on, and the reason that it goes on is because there’s a higher power that wants you to go on and created you to go on and live your life. I realized all of this while I was there. I found forgiveness there from a friend and until then I hadn’t accepted that everything was okay. A lot of tears came out.”
