My name has been changed for security reasons. I am Armenian, but I was born and still live in another country, I grew up in a large family with six siblings. My parents divorced when I was nine, because my dad was a heavy drinker. My mother raised us on her own through many financial challenges. Looking back, I remember those years with gratitude. We learned to be creative, support one another, and trust God in every situation. My mother has always been my greatest example of faith. She taught us to pray, love God, and trust Him completely, even during difficult seasons. I currently live in the capital, where I came to study, in a dormitory. At first, it was a challenge, but this season gave me confidence to step outside my comfort zone and trust that God would always be with me.

Young Life has been part of my life for many years through my older brothers and sisters. After attending my first camp at fourteen, I fell in love with the ministry and knew I wanted to be part of it. Today, I organize clubs, events, and camps, serving different teenagers and university students in city where I live. I want my life to reflect the joy, peace, and love of Christ so that others are drawn to Him. 

As a Developing Global Leader, I am studying Business and Economics, majoring in Accounting, Analysis, and Audit in Budget Organizations. Although I'm still exploring what my future career will look like, I hope to gain experience in different fields and eventually start my own business. I chose this major because I want to understand finances well and use that knowledge to serve people.
