From the Paper:

"One of the differences in a Christian school setting is prayer moment before each class. This was new to me and I soon realized that I liked it very much, especially since it provides the opportunity to give a prayer request. This seems like a good idea because everyone is incorporated into the prayer session. I also appreciated how Mrs. Pruitt gave a prayer for each of us to be calm during our first session and be able to digest all of the information that we would learn that night. I think this helped with many of the fears that some of my fellow students had, including me."
