On May 25th, 2018 I graduated from Oakland mills high school with a 3.75 GPA. Family from all over the U.S. cleared their schedules just to come and support me. It was the first time in over a decade I got too see my father and my grandfather. It was truly a blessing that despite past emotions, the room at graduation lunch was filled with nothing but love and laughter. Words cannot begin describe the miracle that God had done bringing all of my family members together under one roof with ought any bad blood. At that lunch I gave a short speech about the things i had planned for my life, including this mission trip. I mentioned nothing about the cost of the trip, just the request that everyone would continue to be in my corner, supporting me. Now as I sat down and continued to converse with my father, my grandpa asked me “Well how much is it?”. “In total? About 15k” I replied. And with ought the slightest of hesitation, the word “done” exclaimed from his lips. I didint understand at first, so I asked him “what?” and he replied “you got it, don’t worry about it”. God only knows the feelings that I felt that day, I had to hold back so many tears; I am truly blessed and grateful.
