Scovia

Scovia loves working with numbers, solving problems, and being practical in all things. She enjoys math and history class and would like to be a psychologist in the future. Scovia is assured that she is an heir with Christ in God's family. She strives to put God first in her life, to be led by the Holy Spirit, and to be faithful in daily Bible reading and prayer.
