My name is Paris*, and I am in the tenth grade at Madill High School. I have lived at Baptist Home for Girls, Madill (BHG) for seven months. I really enjoy playing basketball, reading, sleeping and spending time with the people I love! One of my favorite things to do on campus is to participate in campus-wide meals in our gym. I like it when we all get together and Mr. Meridth cooks for us! I also enjoy going on outings with my cottage. When I moved to BHG, the community aspect took some time for me to adjust to and moving to a small town was hard. I love my houseparents, caseworker and our ag director and his wife. I especially enjoy getting to be a part of the ag program! I love my goat, and I also love the bunny program we started on campus. Recently, my cottage has been reading through the book of Mark. Even though I already knew some stories, I feel like I have a better understanding of the acts leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion. I’m proud of my intelligence and my determination to grow in my relationships, in my faith and with my family.
