Paige Swearengin

I am currently a student at Southwest Baptist University. I am an aspiring English teacher, youth and kid's leader, and writer, as I have lived in Brazil as a missionary kid and from that experience know how valuable education really is and how powerful words can be in communicating and building relationships with others. My goals include finishing my education so I can eventually become an English professor and published writer. I want to write things that people can grow into, instead of out of, and strive to write books much like my literary hero Harper Lee. I want to write things that last and let people know they are not alone, but at the same time experience new things that they could never experience outside of the words I write. I have also had the opportunity to go on many mission trips throughout my life around the country and world and have been a pastor's kid and involved in ministry for the majority of my life. My desire is to serve God now and in the future doing whatever His will is for my life and what He designed me to do.
