Students Live the ASB “GET REAL” Motto
living a life that exemplifies the way of christ
By Alexandra Farrokhian

High School can easily become a time when teens fall from the path of Christ. However, senior Kenny Guertin has made it his first priority to stay close to God and live as a lighthouse of His love. His devotion is very apparent through his lifestyle and attitude, and his peers readily testify to seeing the spirit of Christ working in and through him. When asked, Kenny emphasized the importance of spending time alone with God, meditating on His Word and praying. This is good advice for any Christian, but especially for seniors, as they set their spiritual foundation for their college years and the rest of their lives. Leaving Valley Christian for a secular college can test a Christian’s faith, but Kenny is steadfast in his resolution to stay focused on God through getting involved in a campus crusade ministry and finding a good church near whatever college he attends. When asked what advice he would give to his peers he encouraged, “Find great Christian friends because spending time with other Christians keeps you accountable. Also be a light in your household and among your non-Christian friends. Get in the Word of God and stay in it. There are always people at Valley that would love to answer any questions you have, so don’t be afraid to ask.” Last Kenny emphasized the importance of being sure in your faith and urged that “We have to learn our Christian morals and values now because our faith will be challenged in the world and we must be prepared.”
