The Serbian community has shown me what accountability means. It taught me to never make excuses and always hold my weight. No matter how many times I thought I was too busy for Folklore or singing practice, I always knew there would be be a room full of people waiting and holding me accountable. It taught me how beautiful my culture is and that it is up to us to keep in alive and flourishing.

I am most looking forward to applying everything I have been taught these 18 years in new ways in college. I am excited for the independence and I can't wait to see the opportunities that are waiting for me. I am looking forward to carrying my culture and herritage with me whenever I go, as well as learning about others.

Недеља Педесетнице
А у последњи велики дан празника стајаше Исус и викаше говорећи: Ко је жедан нека дође к мени и пије. Који ме верује, као што писмо рече, из његова тела потећи ће реке живе воде. А ово рече за Духа ког после примише они који верују у име Његово: јер Дух Свети још не беше на њима, јер Исус још не беше прослављен. А многи од народа чувши ове речи говораху: Ово је заиста пророк. Други говораху: Ово је Христос. А једни говораху: Зар ће Христос из Галилеје доћи? Не каза ли писмо да ће Христос доћи од семена Давидовог, и из села Витлејема одакле беше Давид? Тако распра постаде у народу Њега ради. А неки од њих хтеше да Га ухвате; али нико не метну руку на Њ. Дођоше пак слуге ка главарима свештеничким и фарисејима; и они им рекоше: Зашто га не доведосте? А слуге одговорише: Никад човек није тако говорио као овај човек. Тада им одговорише фарисеји: Зар се и ви преваристе? Верова ли га ко од кнезова или од фарисеја? Него народ овај, који не зна закон, проклет је. Рече им Никодим што долази к Њему ноћу, који беше један од њих: Еда ли закон наш суди човеку докле га најпре не саслуша и дозна шта чини? Одговорише му и рекоше: Ниси ли и ти из Галилеје? Разгледај и види да пророк из Галилеје не долази.
Исус им, пак, опет рече: Ја сам видело свету: ко иде за мном неће ходити по тами, него ће имати видело живота.

Pentecost - Trinity Sunday
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Therefore many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is the Prophet.” Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?” So there was a division among the people because of Him. Now some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him. Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?” The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this Man!” Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived? Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him? But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night, being one of them) said to them, “Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?” They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
