Hi! I’m Sienna,

I'm a junior in at college in Missouri. I was born around Seoul in South Korea, but I was adopted when I was around nine months old. Since then, I have lived in Missouri all my life. I was homeschooled up until high school, where I attended an all-girls private academy. 

​

I ended up at college another freshman who had no idea who they were or what they were looking for. I hardly made any friends my first year and I changed my major at least four times. I felt out of place and lonely.

​

This summer has been one of the best and worst times of my life. I met my amazing fiancé during this time, but also became very suicidal which ended up landing me in the hospital. I have been diagnosed with depression, and my life now is very different then it was four months ago. I never know when the next episode might hit or when a panic attack might happen. I never understood what it meant to self-harm and to feel so alone. 

​

However, I know one thing and that no matter what comes, I know I can rely on Jesus. It's been a hard battle and it is certainly far from over, but if my story and my reflections can help just one person, then everything I have went through will be worth it. 

​

I am praying for you.
