When confronted with a challenging or intimidating situation, I often think about the pep talk David gave his son Solomon when he was given the task of building a temple to the Lord. As recorded in First Chronicles, he said, “Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the Lord God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord” (28:20). Knowing that God is supporting us in doing whatever it is our duty to do has been so reassuring to me, especially during this past school year.
I very much wanted to share my presentation with my classmates.
I’m currently finishing my senior year of high school near my home outside of Paris. One of the classes I am taking is Spanish. Early in the school year, we studied a chapter in our Spanish textbook on the place of women in society. We spent almost a month on this chapter.
