Hi, my name is Grasy Core. I’m an 8th grader at Omaha Memorial Adventist School. I am 14 years old, and this is my first year here. When I went to public school, I honestly got into many fights, never did my work, and could never actually focus. I had a lot of bad behavior, so one day my mom was very tired of my attitude and tired of always getting phone calls home because of me. So she came and registered me for Omaha Memorial Adventist School, after I was baptized in July, 2022. Coming to this school, I realized I could have learned a lot more than what I learned in public school, and also my behavior improved. 

This school has humbled me. It’s a Christian school where you learn about God, so that’s even better, because I also learned more about the Bible. Back in my old school, I would have failing grades in most of my classes, but here at my current school, my grades are better than ever. These classmates and teachers are really nice too. It is a small school and not crowded. So far, I haven’t gotten into any fights and also controlled my anger pretty well. Usually back then, I would get mad really easily, and people would always try me, which got me really mad to a point I would start a fight. But honestly, since I came here, it’s been really peaceful for me, and I really like it. 

I’ve also realized how immature I was back then too and how much trouble I caused for my mom. I’ve learned how to control my anger and not always let people get on my nerves, and to calm down in some situations. I have been able to focus on my school work and turn it in on time. 

My grades are the best I’ve ever had in any school I’ve ever gone to. It’s not only because of this school, it’s also because of God who led me to this school so I can be a better version of myself, and so I can have a brighter future. I’m glad I came here, and I’ve also made my family a lot more proud of me, and they’re less worried about me too. I’ve learned way more than I ever could, thanks to this school. 

I’m glad I  have gotten an opportunity to attend this school. I thank everyone who supports our school; it has done a lot for us. After I graduate from here, I’m planning on going to Ozark Adventist Academy in Arkansas. I hope my life could be as easy as this when I go into high school as well.  I praise God for Adventist education. 

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. “
