Form IV Graduation

Uncategorized 1 Minute

On Saturday, October 27th, the Form IV girls graduated from MGLSS. At the time, they had yet to take all of their national examinations, having just begun exams earlier that week. ExamDSCF0010 (1).JPGs for them lasted for two weeks. School wide, exams lasted for a month. But on that Saturday, MGLSS honored them for four years of scholarship and study with a worship service and then commencement ceremony.

The campus was PACKED with families, friends, and loved ones. I had never seen so many people on campus before. It was a truly special day. The girls were all dolled up in their traditional Maasae clothing & garb. They wore beaded crowns, beaded cuffs, beaded masks, and carried ornate staffs.

After the commencement ceremony ended, all of the girls went into classrooms and shared a meal with their party guests and received gifts. The young ladies were radiant in their outfits, and wore joyous expressions on their faces all day long.

I am a 24 years old young adult, searching for meaning, purpose, and a calling in this world. As a Christian, my first year out of school lead me to the Winston-Salem Fellows program, where the emphasis was on faith and work. Currently, I find myself having been called to the Young Adults in Global Missions (YAGM) program, supported and run through the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). A host family and site placement awaits in Tanzania, where I hope to teach, and enter into meaningful relationships with the people in Arusha. The goal is to discern what meaningful work, reimagined as a vocational calling, might look like once I come home, while also investing in people where I am.
