Living Water Christian School - Brett Matson
BIOGRAPHY: Hello, my name is Brett Matson and I live in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Jacksonville may not be where I was born, but it is definitely my hometown. I have been here eighteen years and gone to the same Christian school my whole life. As a senior, I am staring down the barrel of a huge transition. One that will pull me a lot farther from home than I have ever been before. This would be a four-year university. I am currently leaning towards Liberty University, up in Virginia, where I hope to make bonds with fellow Christian students and acquire a bachelor’s degree. Someday, I hope to have a family, which requires that I be successful. I have many plans in the works, but only what God wills for my life will be my goal. I pray for all the fellow students who received this award, and God bless!
