J.M.J. =About SophiasButterfly= I am currently in my fourth year at the University of Minnesota, located in the brightly-lit and thriving Minneapolis. I am studying to earn my Youth Studies major and have also recently completed a minor in Child Psychology. After focusing a great deal of employment and experience with younger children, I realized my desire to engage and care for the future of our world-youth! I plan on graduating within the year and hope to start working in the cities here or another inner city to gain more wisdom and knowledge about youth work. Eventually, I plan on working as a youth minister within the Christian Church. I am deeply convicted that, in order for youth to develop into responsible and happy adults, there is a great need for their identity formation to be found first and foremost within a personal relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. Only through this discipleship and active practice of their faith will young people find the desire of their souls and will become the best version of themselves. My ministry could take the shape of living here in Minneapolis, Detroit, or any place where there is a need. It will be exciting to see where God leads me!

Music
As a singer and violinist of 10 years, as well as learning how to play the guitar recently, music is a fabulous part of my life. Here are some of my favorite songs as of late-enjoy!:
