Alison Quinn - DISCIPLESHIP & EVENTS

I was born in Fresno, CA on October 12, 1989. My life is pretty calm; I’m not one of those people that have had many crazy experiences of living in different counties and experiencing outrageous things (at least not quite yet). Traveling the world is on my “to do” list. I hope that in a few years when I sit down to write a short bit about my life, it will be far more interesting than this, but here are a few things you might like to know.

The things that keep me smiling every day are my family, friends, and myself! I’m a huge goof ball at times. I just love to laugh and act like a kid even though some people tell me I need to grow up. As for now, I will grow up when I’m ready. I graduated from Hoover High School in 2007. I was on the Varsity Swim team all 4 years and team captain as a senior. I loved High School and so far it’s been the best 4 years of my life.  I recently recieved my Associates of Arts (AA) degree from Fresno City College and now I am currently a student at California State University, Fresno. My major at Fresno State is psychology. I still have hopes to become a nurse, but I am keeping my mind open to other oppertunities in life, while  awaiting acceptance into a nursing program I am exploaring other areas of studies such as psychololgy.

God is my strong-hold of my entire life. God keeps me going in situations that make me scared, situations that challenge me and in situations where I don’t know what is right or wrong. I have spent my entire life growing up here at Hope and it’s become a huge part of my life. I was baptized at Hope Lutheran Church, went through Confirmation here and now I’m an Assistant in Youth Minitry. To be honest with you I didn’t see my life going in that direction, but for some reason God did and I’m trying to follow his lead. My life is going great and I have so much more to learn in my faith and in my everyday life. Working with the youth at Hope has been a blast, and I’m really attached to these kids! They are full of life and so open and willing to learn, they make me smile and now I have the opportunity to be a part of each one of their lives. I couldn’t ask for a more perfect opportunity to show them who God is and to help guide them in the right direction.
