As I take a step back to reflect on my time going through SCCS from preschool through senior year at CCHS, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to receive a Christian education and humbled by the sacrifices that were made to provide me with that opportunity. While at Chicago Christian, I participated in football, track, band, mock trial, student council, and senior activities committee. At CCHS I made lifelong friends whose kids occasionally call me “uncle.” From dissecting frogs and pigs with Mrs. Vilendrer to learning the states and capitals of Central America in Spanish with Mrs. Roozeboom (that song still pops into my head every now and then), mentorship groups with Mr. Payne, and Chapels, every moment, interaction, and experience was orchestrated by God for the life He had planned for me.
