She is able to consider a passage in the Bible, look at a commentary, and teach others the truths found there. She spends time alone reading God's word and praying. Mirriam enjoys singing and is a part of the choir. Mirriam is a top student whose favorite subjects are language arts and math. She is an excellent role model for other students, and she has become a leader due to her academic excellence and leadership qualities.
