The Bible says God loves a cheerful giver. This is James. He is always willing to give of himself, no matter what the need.

Since math is a strong interest, James willingly gives time to help tutor students in Algebra. He also tutors freshmen in English grammar.

Philippians 4:13 is one of James' favorite texts, "I can do everything through him who gives me strength" (NIV). James takes this text to heart and says it applies to every part of his life. He feels that no matter how big the mountain is ahead of him, God will give him strength to conquer.

James plans to attend Southern Adventist University after graduation. He will major in accounting or math. James loves numbers and plans for a career utilizing that interest.
