The October 2021 student of the month at Ignite Christian Academy (ICA) is Caitlyn Cox, a freshman in her second year at ICA. A former resident of the Atlanta metropolitan area, Caitlyn recently moved with her family to Tennessee, but that hasn’t stopped her from being a Georgia peach to her teachers.
“Caitlyn sends me a message every week just to say hi and asks what she can pray for,” wrote Bible and English teacher Katie Nice who nominated her for this month’s honor. “It brightens my day.”
My ICA Story
I have been with Ignite Christian Academy/AOA since 8th grade. My parents didn’t want me to go to public middle school, so we were looking for homeschool options and my dad told us about AOA because he went to AOA when he was growing up. So I tried it and ended up loving it!
Why I Love ICA
I love online learning because you have your own timing, you’re not rushed to get things done, and you can go at your own pace.
My Favorite Subject
My favorite subject is Bible because I love learning more about God and getting closer to Him.
My Family
I have a little brother who is 6 years old, and he is a mess! We love messing around with each other, watching Disney movies, building forts, and coloring. Being a big sister has been a big accomplishment and will continue to be. It takes a lot, but it’s worth it to just be there for him always and love him.
My Life in Tennessee
I love Tennessee because we are at a great church, I have amazing friends, and everyone is so friendly!
My Hobbies
I love worshipping, reading my Bible, and spending lots of time with my family!
My Dream Job
I would love to be in ministry as a worship leader or a pastor!
My Goals
Just listening to God and what He wants me to do in the future.
My Words of Wisdom
Online school is harder than people think. You have to have a lot of responsibility, but you got this! You can do it! Push through the hard times and always stay positive. If I ever have trouble with something or I have stressful days, I pray. God cares about every single piece of our lives.
