Hey everyone!!! 🙂 Let me start out with the fact that I’m not exactly good at writing things like this, and my thoughts will probably be scattered… so I apologize beforehand!
 
     My name’s Marissa Ellen Schley. I’m a 14 year old homeschooled freshman from Trenton, Michigan. I’ve gone to public school for my whole life, this is my first year of homeschooling… and so far I love it! I live with my mom and 15 year old brother who has aspergers (a form of autism). My parents are divorced, but thankfully I get to see my dad a lot. I love running track, every other sport I’m horrible at! 🙂 I’m energetic, and I smile and laugh a lot. Hanging out with friends and doing crazy random things is the best! Oh.. and I’m in love with McDonalds ice cream!
     I love my church, especially my youth group. My youth group is sooo important to me, everyone there is so encouraging to me… and my youth pastor is awesome! 😀 I’m at church a lot, and I love my friends there! At church I’m on a drama/dance team…it’s so much fun. 
     I’m so excited to go to Uganda!!! I have been on three mission trips to Kentucky, but all three have only been for a week. I can’t wait to spend a month in Uganda serving the people there! I’ve always had a heart for Africa… I simply can’t explain how excited I am for everything! I can’t wait to go and do what God has called me to do. Oh! And I can’t wait to meet my team! 
Here’s my family! Sorry my brother isn’t in the same picture as me and my parents!
