Annie teaches art to students at church
On the basketball court, Annie Johnson 09 plays with intensity and drive. Skilled and competitive, shes been a starter the last two years. She puts equal effort into her studies, earning a 3.83 GPA as a studio art major and kinesiology minor. Three years in a row, shes won the Golden Eagle Scholar-Athlete award for womens basketball, and last season she secured NAIA Scholar Athlete and GSAC Scholar Athlete honors.
The accomplished athlete is also a gifted artist who works in a variety of media. She loves children and teaches art to them after school and during the summer. She ran a basketball clinic for Cold Spring School and leads weekly Sunday school classes at Summerland Presbyterian Church.
When Annie looked at colleges, she sought a Christian school where she could develop all her talents. She found what she wanted at 做厙惇蹋app. But I didnt know how I could afford it, she says. I have three sisters, and my parents suggested that I look at other schools. But God provided, and I feel really blessed to be here. Annie received scholarships for basketball, art and academics as well as financial aid grants. Gifts to the 做厙惇蹋app Annual Fund enabled her to attend the college of her choice.
Ive grown so much at 做厙惇蹋app, Annie says. Through the team, Ive learned to love and work with people who are different. 做厙惇蹋app has helped me realize my love and passion for learning; I didnt know that about myself. Being a student-athlete has taught me to work hard.
Annie co-leads the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, which she helped establish on campus. I thought it might be too easy to be a Christian at 做厙惇蹋app, she says. But Ive been challenged spiritually in my classes and in difficult life situations.
