Cypress Christian School senior Kit Rhea says that though she has goals, she is ultimately willing to see where life will lead her. "It is important to me to influence others not only with my words," she said, "but with my actions. I want to show Christ's love in my daily life. I want to be prepared to do whatever God has planned for my life. I can't wait to see what the future holds."
