Love it or hate it, you have to experience High school. The four year journey is life changing. A building full of confused, hormonal teenagers trying to figure out who they are and where they'll fit in the world can be a scary place.
Something that I have noticed, especially this year, is the way students treat other students. I asked God to let me see people the way that He does, and love like He does. The song "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath has inspired me to widen my view and get rid of the pesky "Tunnel Vision" that plagues so many students in highschools. What I mean by "Tunnel Vision" is the inability (or unwillingness) to not go with the flow of the other students and how they see and judge other students. They choose not to see the struggles, and qualities in the underdogs of their class. Underdogs are the students that are ridiculed, stepped on, and judged for what they look like, decisions they have made, who they hang out with, etc.
My challenge to all highschool/ junior high students is to get rid of tunnel vision. Ask God to open up your eyes to show you His amazing love and mercy for others. Stand up for the underdogs, even if you end up standing alone. If you see someone being treated badly, don't just stand there. Show them God's undying love! Let Him shine through you!
God Bless, and Good Luck Highschoolers!
Always here for you,
Hannah.

Here we go...
Hi! My name is Hannah Roth. I am currently a sophomore in Pettisville High School. I have an older brother, Dustin Roth, who graduated last year. My parents are Brent and Lisa Roth, two happily married Christians. I enjoy talking to my youth group on Wednesday nights, and sharing testimonies with others in my school and church. I have never been good at writing down my feelings, but for the past couple of years I have felt a huge calling to serve God. Ever since I was 3 feet tall I've known that I wanted to be in a form of ministry and missions. It is my hope to inspire others through this blog and have fun doing it. Feel free to follow me on this journey as I experience it.
