Bethel Ieremia AUBURN ADVENTIST ACADEMY
AUBURN, WASHINGTON
Bethel Ieremia is a junior at Auburn Adventist Academy and has participated in the following areas: Honor Society, campus ministries prayer and Bible coordinator, orchestra, Student Faculty Council and Anonymous Acts of Random Kindness. Anyone who comes in contact with Bethel immediately feels God’s love and compassion when they are in her presence. Zuzana Rachal, AAA’s food service director who supervises Bethel, says, “I never met a young person who cares so deeply for others. Her genuine willingness to help is inspiring.” Her walk with Christ is so very obvious and contagious that someone said, “You make angels want to be better beings.” In the business office where Bethel works her second job, Sherry Hyde says, “Bethel goes above and beyond her duties. She is dependable, observes the nonobvious and performs an excellent job while completing the task. Above all, she goes about her work with a smile on her face and always with a good attitude.” Bethel is completing the aviation program at AAA and has chosen this field as her career, with hopes of being involved in medical mission work. Delightful, friendly, caring, compassionate, responsible and always thinking of the other person — these are the qualities Bethel brings to AAA as our Caring Heart Award representative.
