The Importance of Finding Relationships


            Bekah Shively is part of the class of 2022 here at Worthington Christian. She has been attending WC since the 3rd grade. Her involvement in extracurriculars runs deep, proving to be multitalented in music, tennis, and theatre. This year she was a stage crew member in The Best Christmas Pageant Ever and played Pearl in SpongeBob the Musical. While Shively enjoys the arts and sports, her passion resides in historical studies. She plans to major in Museum Studies at Walsh University.

 The interest in history that Shively possesses stems from the relationships with the history teachers at Worthington Christian. “I’ve always had great relationships with my history teachers”, Shively remarked, “They gave me that passion.”. Shively has become extremely close with the high school teachers a Worthington Christian. “When I come back from college, I’m going to grab coffee with every single one”, Bekah exclaimed, “The staff here at Worthington Christian are really strong.”

            Shively advised underclassmen to take Internship Academy. “It was the deciding factor for me in picking my major”, Shively stressed “It’s an extremely helpful experience that allows students to figure out if they would want to pursue their passion in college. Being able to spend time in that setting helped me narrow my major down.” Internship Academy is a class that seniors can take at Worthington Christian.  You get to sit behind a current worker in your field of interest and get a deeper understanding of what that career would look like. You are assigned tasks that would be like the ones you would get as an employee. The teacher for Internship Academy is the beloved Mr. Johnson. If you are a rising senior, make sure to sign up!

            Shively's involvement in so many school activities coupled with her ability to positively impact the lives of classmates and teachers is a rare gift. As her classmate, you could truly see the light of Christ shining in and through her. Shively will carry on this gift into her next stage of life, bringing that light of Christ to anyone who crosses her path.
