Like a Blacksmith and his hammer, St Paul has been my tool to define my life not only educationally, but socially and spiritually as well. It has given me the confidence that I would find no where else and has graciously accepted me and my classmates as people and children of God.

St Paul has provided me so much educationally that I would find nowhere else. I’ve found that learning in a Christian environment allows me to express my faith in places outside of church and confirmation. I can openly communicate about with faith with my peers, teachers, and others in authority without the law coming into play. It is amazing that I can sit in class knowing that my teachers are allowed to teach me more about Jesus, where at other schools I could not enjoy that benefit.

Along with educational growth, the friends I have met at St Paul will influence me for the rest of my life. Also, since they come from St Paul, I can be assured that their influence with definitely be positive. Not only do they influence me, but they help me to cope with the difficult times in my life. Only at St Paul, would I find friends who are willing to stay at my side in the good times and in bad times.

The greatest thing about this school is that I learn more about God’s word then anyone could imagine. After sitting through thousands of religion classes covering all parts of the Bible, I know with confidence that I am prepared for life outside of junior high.

I would now like to thank the church, pastors, principal, and all members and authorities of the church for your immeasurable kindness and support both financially and emotionally through my past nine years and the many of years to come at this excellent school.
