April Burkis is the oldest girl of nine kids. She has enjoyed being homeschooled her whole life. Her favorite hobbies include wood burning, spending time outdoors, and making memories. She loves playing soccer and softball and even tried her hand at basketball this year. Her plan is to pursue a career in child care. One of April’s favorite verses is Psalms 28:7: “The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song I will praise Him.” She would also like to mention her parents, Todd and Rayna. God’s guiding hand and their teaching, support, and never-ending love are what have gotten her this far.

Jeremiah 29:11-13
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
Proverbs 3:5-10
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
Ephesians 2:10
