Michelle Burnes is a recent high school graduate who is taking a gap year to serve as a foreign missionary with Mission Youth Corps for a semester. Afterwards she will be attending Franciscan University of Steubenville in the Fall of 2012.

For a young lady she writes a mature - and challenging - blog on “discernment.” The topic is certainly prescient for young people in the midst of the current socio-economic situation we find ourselves. Nevertheless it is also relevant to everyone.

During our lives, we arrive at situations when we have to make decisions about our future. It’s good to have a guide (a person) as well as a guidebook to assist us during those moments and Michelle lays out some very good fundamentals.
