Impact of Philanthropy

and hearing a teacher tell a student or fellow faculty member “I will be praying for you” sets Whitefield apart from any other school I attended.

COMING HOME

Our teachers at Whitefield would also encourage us to have uncomfortable conversations with different people. I do not only mean about race, but we talked about theological debates (predestination, creation vs big bang, etc). In the midst of these debates, I found that my classmates and I sometimes were very stereotypical of things. I learned that there are going to be times in life where you will have to step out of your comfort zone to truly understand and grow.

Third, I would have to say the bonfire Thursday night of homecoming week. This was my first bonfire experience, and it was fun. It was down on the lower field behind the softball field.

Parents brought in tons and tons of wood. The bonfire event started around 7 with the lighting of the bonfire at 8:30. There were tons of games and food and just bonding among the student body. Sitting around the fire roasting marshmallows, singing songs, and just looking up at the sky and enjoying God’s beautiful creation is something I will never forget. All three of these events were made better by time spent together as students, teachers, and staff. A time to build bonds and relationships is what I truly believe is the foundation of what makes Whitefield uncommon and a remarkable community.

2) How did attending Whitefield vs. your previous school impact your life?

1) What are some of your most memorable experiences at Whitefield?

I could possibly give you 20 memorable moments, but I will give you my top three. First, would be going to Sharp Top my senior year. Sharp Top was an annual schoolwide trip that Whitefield would take at the beginning of the year. The seniors would leave a day or two before everyone else to get used to the camp. But we were really there to learn how to serve. For two and a half days, the seniors would serve the other Whitefield students. We would cook food, serve, and clean. It taught me in order to lead, I must first serve.

Second would be homecoming my junior year. Again, this was a schoolwide event. It was the typical dress up days… country, decade day, tacky day, super hero day, and blue and gold day. What I loved most was the pep rally. We decorated the gym by blacking out the windows and giving all the students glow sticks and necklaces and we had a fog machine for the athletes to run through. Each athlete had personal music and a short reading about them. The student body really got into it. The games we had during the pep rally were amazing. It was a really fun time.

28 | THE WHITEFIELD ACADEMY MAGAZINE • WINTER 2019

Coming to Whitefield allowed me to experience things that I would not have had the opportunity to do or see being at my previous public school. One major impact on my life from Whitefield is service. Performing community service each and every year was something that I would have never done in public school, but it taught me to put others before myself.

One service project was going over to tutor and mentor kids from Atlanta Youth Academy. They were always overjoyed when they saw the Whitefield busses pull up. The smiles on the kids’ faces is an experience I will always remember.

Something that goes along with this service is my faith. Growing up attending church was good, but being able to be consistently surrounded by people who not only believed in what you believed, but would encourage you to ask the hard questions and think about life not just from an intellectual perspective, but a spiritual one was a wonderful experience.

It is a special thing to be able to sit down with a teacher and speak openly about your faith. My teachers would encourage us to do so all the time. I also thought it was really amazing that our teachers would not just encourage us, but they would encourage each other. There were times you would turn the corner and you would see three or four teachers huddled together in a classroom praying with each other. Walking down the hallway

Having conversations about how to trust God in the midst of pain and sorrow; having conversations about how God can let bad things happen to good people; and, even more so, why do good things happen to bad people?

Being able to talk about these things with teachers as soon as the questions come up and not having to wait for Sunday school or Wednesday night service really helped shape, mold and grow my faith.

3) Whitefield is committed to providing financial assistance to families.

How did you and your family benefit from this assistance?

The benefit is that not only was I able to attend Whitefield, but my sister was able to attend Whitefield. Both of us being in public school and our parents’ hearts for us to have better led us to Whitefield. Thanks to many people having a willingness to give, my sister and I received an outstanding education, life-changing experiences, and our hearts have been changed to put others before ourselves.

Whether it was coming in early for student government meetings, staying late for practice or even playing in “The Bean” with jazz band, Whitefield made me feel like it was a home away from home.

4) If you could share a message with past as well as current and potential donors, what would you say to them?

First of all, I would say thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your giving changed my life. I know that it is easy to “leave it” for someone else to do, but if everyone had that mentality, then no one would receive anything. Your donation is more than just a check. It is a new direction in life, and it is an eye-opener to a vast amount of opportunities. It is a chance to help someone make a good life better and a better life great.

5) What inspired you to return to Whitefield as a faculty member and coach?

“I would say thank you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Your giving changed my life.

Your donation is more than just a check.

It is a new direction in life.”

We were able to participate in a number of things ranging from sports to band (concert, marching and jazz), drama, student government, mentoring, and even prom committee. Having the ability to do all of these things at one location was important, because my parents didn’t have to worry about how we were going to get to practices and back home. With both my parents working, neither one of them had to leave work early because of my extracurricular activities. Knowing that the school had everything I needed as far as transportation and a place to actually practice sounds basic, but it was huge for my family.

When I think back to my time at Whitefield, I feel a sense of happiness, knowing how blessed I was to attend this school.

I returned to Whitefield because I wanted to give back the best way I know how. I wanted to give back to Whitefield one of the ways Whitefield taught us and that’s through service.

While I was attending Whitefield as a student, the faculty were more than teachers to me. They were second moms and dads. They invested in me just as much as my parents. They taught me more than academics, they taught me life lessons.

They pushed me to be the best me that I can be. They did not want me to be anyone other than whom God created. But they would never let me settle.

When the opportunity came up for me to be in a position to do the same, I did not hesitate. I consider it an honor and most definitely a privilege to be able to come back to WA and pass on the knowledge, wisdom, and love of Christ to the current student body.

6) How has your school year been so far?

What are some of your most memorable moments so far?

The school year has been a blast so far! I have really enjoyed coming back and seeing how much the school has grown and changed. Being able to build relationships with the students, not just athletes, but everyone has been great. As of right now, my most memorable moment would be the first all school chapel.

It was my first time experiencing the seniors walking in the kindergarten class. I think that is an amazing tradition.

I could possibly give you 20 memorable moments, but I will give you my top three. First, would be going to Sharp Top my senior year. Sharp Top was an annual schoolwide trip that Whitefield would take at the beginning of the year. The seniors would leave a day or two before everyone else to get used to the camp. But we were really there to learn how to serve. For two and a half days, the seniors would serve the other Whitefield students. We would cook food, serve, and clean. It taught me in order to lead, I must first serve.

Second would be homecoming my junior year. Again, this was a schoolwide event. It was the typical dress up days… country, decade day, tacky day, super hero day, and blue and gold day. What I loved most was the pep rally. We decorated the gym by blacking out the windows and giving all the students glow sticks and necklaces and we had a fog machine for the athletes to run through. Each athlete had personal music and a short reading about them. The student body really got into it. The games we had during the pep rally were amazing. It was a really fun time.

Coming to Whitefield allowed me to experience things that I would not have had the opportunity to do or see being at my previous public school. One major impact on my life from Whitefield is service. Performing community service each and every year was something that I would have never done in public school, but it taught me to put others before myself.

One service project was going over to tutor and mentor kids from Atlanta Youth Academy. They were always overjoyed when they saw the Whitefield busses pull up. The smiles on the kids’ faces is an experience I will always remember.

Something that goes along with this service is my faith. Growing up attending church was good, but being able to be consistently surrounded by people who not only believed in what you believed, but would encourage you to ask the hard questions and think about life not just from an intellectual perspective, but a spiritual one was a wonderful experience.

It is a special thing to be able to sit down with a teacher and speak openly about your faith. My teachers would encourage us to do so all the time. I also thought it was really amazing that our teachers would not just encourage us, but they would encourage each other. There were times you would turn the corner and you would see three or four teachers huddled together in a classroom praying with each other. Walking down the hallway

Having conversations about how to trust God in the midst of pain and sorrow; having conversations about how God can let bad things happen to good people; and, even more so, why do good things happen to bad people?

Being able to talk about these things with teachers as soon as the questions come up and not having to wait for Sunday school or Wednesday night service really helped shape, mold and grow my faith.

3) Whitefield is committed to providing financial assistance to families.

How did you and your family benefit from this assistance?

The benefit is that not only was I able to attend Whitefield, but my sister was able to attend Whitefield. Both of us being in public school and our parents’ hearts for us to have better led us to Whitefield. Thanks to many people having a willingness to give, my sister and I received an outstanding education, life-changing experiences, and our hearts have been changed to put others before ourselves.

Whether it was coming in early for student government meetings, staying late for practice or even playing in “The Bean” with jazz band, Whitefield made me feel like it was a home away from home.

4) If you could share a message with past as well as current and potential donors, what would you say to them?

First of all, I would say thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your giving changed my life. I know that it is easy to “leave it” for someone else to do, but if everyone had that mentality, then no one would receive anything. Your donation is more than just a check. It is a new direction in life, and it is an eye-opener to a vast amount of opportunities. It is a chance to help someone make a good life better and a better life great.

5) What inspired you to return to Whitefield as a faculty member and coach?

“I would say thank you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Your giving changed my life.

Your donation is more than just a check.

It is a new direction in life.”

We were able to participate in a number of things ranging from sports to band (concert, marching and jazz), drama, student government, mentoring, and even prom committee. Having the ability to do all of these things at one location was important, because my parents didn’t have to worry about how we were going to get to practices and back home. With both my parents working, neither one of them had to leave work early because of my extracurricular activities. Knowing that the school had everything I needed as far as transportation and a place to actually practice sounds basic, but it was huge for my family.

When I think back to my time at Whitefield, I feel a sense of happiness, knowing how blessed I was to attend this school.

I returned to Whitefield because I wanted to give back the best way I know how. I wanted to give back to Whitefield one of the ways Whitefield taught us and that’s through service.

While I was attending Whitefield as a student, the faculty were more than teachers to me. They were second moms and dads. They invested in me just as much as my parents. They taught me more than academics, they taught me life lessons.

They pushed me to be the best me that I can be. They did not want me to be anyone other than whom God created. But they would never let me settle.

When the opportunity came up for me to be in a position to do the same, I did not hesitate. I consider it an honor and most definitely a privilege to be able to come back to WA and pass on the knowledge, wisdom, and love of Christ to the current student body.

6) How has your school year been so far?

What are some of your most memorable moments so far?

The school year has been a blast so far! I have really enjoyed coming back and seeing how much the school has grown and changed. Being able to build relationships with the students, not just athletes, but everyone has been great. As of right now, my most memorable moment would be the first all school chapel.

It was my first time experiencing the seniors walking in the kindergarten class. I think that is an amazing tradition.
