Dear Oak Grove family and friends,
I have been attending Oak Grove my entire life, meaning I have been surrounded by many of the same staff and classmates for the thirteen years that I have gone here. My experience has been incredibly impactful, shaping both my social connections and my faith journey. The sense of community at Oak Grove is unparalleled; both my classmates and the faculty provide me with a reliable system of support.
Additionally, the school’s Christian environment has influenced my spiritual growth. These combined experiences have equipped me with the values I need to face the future.
The continuity of being surrounded by the same group of people has created a unique dynamic in my social life. While at Oak Grove, I have developed deep, enduring friendships. Knowing my classmates for so long means that we’ve shared countless experiences, both good and bad, which have solidified these bonds. The relationships I have not only with fellow students but with the staff as well, are built on a foundation of mutual trust and understanding. I know that everyone here will always have my back and endlessly support me.
Oak Grove has also significantly shaped my faith. The mission of Oak Grove is to express God’s love by nurturing students for academic achievement, lifelong Christian commitment and loving service throughout the world. They uphold this mission statement by providing a daily chapel service and required Christian Studies classes. The school’s Christian environment has provided me with strong morals and made my relationship with God personal and meaningful. Oak Grove’s emphasis on faith has encouraged me to explore and solidify my beliefs, making them a central part of my identity.
In essence, Oak Grove has been more than just a school for me. It is, and will continue to be the keystone in my life. The relationships I’ve cultivated as well as the significance of Christian principles will undoubtedly continue to guide me as I move forward. Oak Grove has prepared me to navigate what lies ahead with confidence and integrity.
