My Testimony

My Journey With Christ

When I was in elementary school, I knew that the Lord was powerful, but I didn’t truly understand what it meant to have a relationship with Him.

That began to change when my parents sent me to an overnight Christian camp. During a lake activity, my canoe capsized, and I nearly drowned. Through the Lord’s mercy and grace, I was rescued.

My life took another turn when I moved from Ohio to Tennessee. The culture and school environment were completely different, and I struggled without the friends and community I had left behind in Ohio. The transition took a toll on me mentally, but even during that difficult season, the Lord was with me. I prayed every night for friendships and community, and just two weeks later, those prayers began to be answered. I went from wandering the halls with nowhere to sit to eventually becoming homecoming king of my freshman class.

I also became involved at Brentwood Baptist Church, where I was baptized during my senior year of high school. However, I took that step mainly because my parents wanted me to in order to be “ready” for college.

When I started college, I was blessed to find a Christian community almost immediately. I found a great church and formed friendships that I still have today.

During my sophomore year I sprained my ankle when I fell from a couple of concrete steps. I experienced an overwhelming outpouring of care from my Christian community. My friends immediately drove me to my dorm, brought me food, and prayed over me.

That evening, my friends took me to house church, where everyone gathered to pray over my injured ankle. Although it wasn’t completely healed after the prayer, I felt well enough to walk without my boot or crutches.

That weekend, I shared my story with the church and chose to be baptized again—this time out of my own faith and desire to follow Jesus. It marked the moment when I fully dedicated my life to serving the Lord in everything I do.

My journey with videography

Why I do what I do

I have been shooting and creating videos since 2017. When I first started, it was just a hobby that I did with me shooting vlogs and unboxings on my phone. However, when I attended High School, I took a film class and absolutely loved it. I eventually started to make professional videos like documentary's, promo videos, and more! I even got an internship from the school to be a student leader for the film program.

My love for videography and film expanded in college along with my faith as I have dedicated my career goal to being a Christian videography/filmmaker. I currently double major in Digital Marketing and EMST (Entertainment and Media Studies) where I learn how the marketing, media, and film industry works while also pursuing professional opportunities like working for the video team for Sky Ranch as a videographer for my first summer and as videographer coordinator during my second summer.

I also manage the social media of the non-profit organization: Mind over Muscle Foundation. I also serve the church with me leading the media team at my local church producing videos and photos.

Project Reflection

Screen Code

Through this project I learned new ways to make websites POP! I learned how to make websites compatible to all screens through bootstrap. I learned about how to utilize templates for inspiration and for getting a head start on a website that I want to build. I learned about the many different resources that are offered in support to bootstrap coders. I could honestly go on and on but I truly just want to say that I absolutely am in love with this new tool.

However, with such a major project and with all the skills learned. I had my fair share of setbacks which is in of itself a understatement. I feel bad asking questions but I absolutely had to for this assignment. I asked my friends, parents, other coders that I know, and the internet for advice on the smallest things that I just couldn't figure out. Sometimes one simple wrong line of code ruined me to hours as nothing would work. My playground got ruined time and time again until I just decided to just keep it as it is. However, at the end of the day, I figured out most of the errors and I have completed the project to satisfaction

I really am proud that I got the outline mechanic to work. I couldn't for the longest time, figure out how to do that and I am also proud about the embedded video function. Overall, I am just generally proud of my project. I feel really good that I am able to have all my hard work truly pay off and have a website that I can actually say that I am proud of.

I really want to know about how to increasingly market your website. I want to know more hooks and quirks that I can use to engage my audience that stumble onto my website and truly offer them an unforgettable experience
