LIFE. This is my passion. My mission. My heartbeat. My call. My life is dedicated to binding up the heartbroken and advocating for those who have no voice, be they disabled, elderly, orphaned, unborn or deemed “useless.” My life mission is to defend life and ensure that all people are cared for and loved, because they are uniquely created by God. My life mission is to play my part well in History: His Story. This is a story about my life's journey and how my love for LIFE has grown. My passion for life began to grow in seventh grade, when I was invited to participate in the Right to Life of Indianapolis essay contest. Writing the essay led me to evaluate why I say I am pro-life and how much I needed to educate myself about what I believe. As a result, the contest itself didn't seem as important as digging deeper to define my beliefs. For the next four years, I continued to research and write about people with disabilities, the physical and emotional effects of abortion, abortion regulations and laws, how the world would be affected if I had an abortion, and pregnancy prevention adolescents. Each year that I have enrolled, I have had the honor of placing in the top five of my age group, even receiving first prize three years in a row.

Despite their perceived “quality of life,” they are precious because all people are made in the image of our God. My desire is to volunteer at the crisis pregnancy center located across the street from my campus at l University of Indianapolis. I would like to be trained in crisis pregnancy counseling so that I can be a light to young women on campus and guide them to hope. Additionally, I would like to be part of the beginnings of a college-age BreakDown team that EastGate Studios is considering, so we can stop the abortion problem at its root by promoting abstinence. Additionally, I would be honored to continue to speak to middle and high school students about the sanctity of life while representing Indianapolis' right to life. This is my passion. My mission. My heartbeat. My call. LIFE.
