Hello!! It is so nice to finally talk to all of you!!
My name is Jesse, I am going to be 21 in a month, I think... I live in Scranton, PA, Home of the non-existant Dunder-Mifflin Paper Co. I am planning to re-attend (long story) Valley Forge Christian College (VFCC) in the fall under their Youth Ministry program. I love baking, reading, and video games! Haha! But I have a passion for drama, I love making and preforming human videos. I was the human video team, called Audience of One, or Ao1, at VFCC for the last year and a half, and my passion for human videos has just exploded! I'm a huge sci-fi fantasy lover! Syfy is like my favorite channel! lol
So anyway, Why Israel? Why this trip?
Last semester at VFCC was the start of my junior year, and probably the start of my worst semester, academically and spiritually. I sunk into this huge depression, wrestled with the worth of being a christian, and just over all did not like life at that moment. Toward the end of the semester, I realized if something didn't happen, if I didn't make something happen, then I would return to VFCC worse off than when I left. So I decided to take this current semester off and re-evaluate my life. Best decision I could have made! So after that I decided for something more. I looked at AIM and was like "This is it!" So with help the AIM staff and my family, I am on my way to being ready for this huge life change! And I cannot wait!
For the longest time, I was facinated with the Jewish and Hebrew culture! Everything from the Old Testament to current political issues just astounded me. And when I saw that AIM was offering a trip there, I got really excited! I still have a crap load of things I need to get done before hand, but I can't wait!!
Can't wait to meet you all!!!
Jesse
