Her desire is to live a life that is pure and to serve God's purposes in her generation. Benita is pursuing a double major in English and Psychology at the University of British Columbia. She loves big cities, chai, the internet, roller coasters, international cuisines, music, and hanging out with friends.

does it have to be impossible?
is it too much to ask?
is the adventure too much to handle?
or will we stick to wearing a mask?
the mask that says we're better
society's civilized claim
or is it that change just frightens us
and we don't stand to gain?
what's left is below the surface
hushed tones and smiles all around
but there's a remnant willing to contend
to seek what was meant to be found
for if we throw up our hands in defeat
hang a white flag on the window sill
impossible will remain just that--
simply impossible
