About

Hi my name is AJ Colling and, and in my life I have had many obstacles, and many opportunities. I lost my mom at three years old. But I have always known where she is and what I need to do to be with her again. This has often made me wonder what others think will happen to their loved ones when they die. So I have made it one of my goals to share the gospel, because I want to teach others this truth, and other truths they may be missing. My mom was a nurse, which is all about comforting others. She is an example to me, and another goal of mine is to find opportunities to comfort others because we have so much pain in this world. Also from a young age, I have always loved gaining new skills, such as tennis, mountain biking, biology, singing, juggling, acting, calculus, and weight lifting. Working hard at these activities have allowed me to connect with so many people, and understand how my body and brain improve. And as a student, I have learned that hard work and asking for help are very beneficial skills for just about everything. To say a few more things about me, I am a very social person, I love people and I try to include others, be respectful and kind, be honest, make friends, find humor, forgive and give second chances, and lead when needed. I am an honest person who loves God, my family, learning new things, being part of a great work, being a friend, and being myself. I have faith in the gospel, positive attitude, love for others, and hard work at everything I do.
