Hello, my name is Brianna Brown.  I have been blessed to be at Mount Calvary as long as I have been here.  It has helped me grow and figure out my goals in life.  I have been at Mount Calvary for ten years and had a new experience each year.  I have had some of the best times that I will ever have and I would not change it for anything.

There are many ways I have grown during my years at Mount Calvary.  The staff and students have shown and taught me things that I will never forget.  They have taught me not to feel bad if something does not go the way I wanted it to go, as long as I have done my best.  The people at this school have shown me how to be myself and that people will accept me for who I am.  I have grown in my faith.  I feel closer to God than I will ever feel if I were not here.  The Christianeducation taught here has shown me that being baptized is nothing that you should be scared of, but it is something to be excited and proud of.  This is why I have gotten baptized in the past year.  This is how Mount Calvary has helped me grow and mature in my life.

Even though this is my last year at Mount Calvary, I will take everything I have learned with me for the rest of my life.  I will use my education to help me succeed in life by accomplishing my goals.  I will use the Christian education to pick out my friends and the people I will associate myself with.  I will always remember the advice that one of my teachers said to me which was, "You can accomplish anything as long as you put your mind to it."  I will put my mind to all of the things that I will do in life so that I can be successful.  I will do my best to make the right decisions even when it is not the cool, fun, or easy way out.  Mount Calvary has taught me everything I know and I will take it with me wherever I go.

I have many goals that I want to accomplish in my life.  My ultimate goal is to have eternal life with God in heaven.  I hope to overcome my shyness and be more outgoing.  I would also like to express myself more often.  I want to get a degree in business and in zoology.  When I am done with school I want to have a Christian household.  The only way I will be able to accomplish anything is if I put God first and believe in Him.  There are many goals that I have, and I feel that I am able to accomplish each one of them, as long as I have perseverance and do not fall into the devil's temptation.

There are many things that I am thankful for, buth the thing that I am most thankful for is being able to go to school in a Christian environment.  If I were not at Mount Calvary for most of my life, I do not know where I would be right now.  I will miss all of the fun that I have had with my friends from 4K throughout the years including the ones I have just met this year.  I will always remember the fun we had together and I will miss you all.  This journey has been exciting and fun;  I would not want anything to be different.  So, I would like to say thank you to all of the people that have helped and been with me through this long journey.
