Firstly I want to thank the YMJA for creating this mentorship program and for helping partner us with like-minded believers. I’m so beyond thankful to have been paired up with my mentor Rachel for this program. I’ve learned so much from her and her infectious excitement about Yeshua and His word.
In this period of our lives, as we transition from being in high school to embracing college life, it can be so easy to prioritize the wrongs things too often. When you have work until 9 pm and have a paper due at midnight, it’s so easy to just push spending time abiding with Yeshua to the bottom of your to-do list. While being productive and staying on top of your classes is important, deliberately choosing to include Him in your day and your week is the most important habit you could make your freshman year.
I decided to take fewer classes than I was originally planning to make sure I had plenty of time to devote to this mentorship program and meeting with Rachel, and I’m so thankful that I did. If you’re reading this and are about to go into your freshman year of college, please take this as a sign to apply for the YMJA mentorship program. It was an amazing experience and a great way to start your college life. Email hannah@ymja.org if you are interested in this program, I’m so glad I did!
