(as you know) I was raised in a borderline cult environment with professionally evangelist parents, homeschooled, limited access to media, taught 6k y/o earth, explicitly expected to be a housewife who homeschooled her own children in the ways of the Lord. 1/

Dude that AWANA life fucks you up. Been there. Cheers to new adventures and uncertainty. You’ve succeeded before, I’m sure you will succeed again <3

oh yeah. I went all the way to get a citation award! My name is on a wall in the awana headquarters, supposedly.

Omg. I’m sure you’re their crowing jewel 😂 Awana was a nightmare for me. I was shamed for not practicing bible verses and forced to compete in the olympics. My social anxiety was overwhelming.

Omg my team won a gold medal at the Olympics once. I almost nearly won a Bible Olympics or whatever they're called too. My experience was probably better than yours, you sound like you weren't into it at all

I looked forward to the awana Grand Prix every year. A chance to be creative and race cars. I won 2nd place! The rest... just not so much. I was to shy for all of the competitions and I didn’t develop a social voice until after high school! Seems like you crushed it tho 😂
