Hey whassup hello - I'm Stephanie
I'm from a tiiiiny little town called Erie, IL, but I'm currently living in Bloomington, IL, where I go to school at Illinois State University. ROLL BIRDZ. I'm a junior, I'm studying elementary education, and I'm pursuing an endorsement in English as a Second Language.
I had the opportunity to play Division I softball here at ISU for two years before I had to retire due to a back injury. I'm extremely thankful for my time playing the sport I loved. Learning how not to be an athlete has been an adventure, though! Because of all my newfound free time, I get to work three jobs I absolutely LOVE: as an online English tutor for Chinese kids, as a dog boarder and walker, and as a team leader at a local after school program.
My favorite things include: dogs, traveling, music, sunsets, basically any food involving potatoes, and daily naps.
Honestly, I'm not completely sure what I'm doing here, but isn't that life in general? I have always felt that God put me on Earth to love other people, to reach them in some way and help them to know that they're not the kind of person that society tells them they are... the person that is never good enough or pretty enough or smart enough. Everyone is made beautiful in Christ. I'm definitely a sucker for beautiful things. I love love love sunsets and if you have me on Snapchat, you know that I can't help but share them all over my story constantly. BUT Jesus's love is the most beautiful thing I have ever experienced. And I can't help but try and share that with others.
So. This is my attempt to reach people in a new way and share the beauty. If you're here reading this, thanks for sticking with me. :-)
Love always -
Steph
