Mission University

Hello! I’m Lydia and I am from Joplin High School Joplin, Mo and  I plan to major in Elementary Education. I have two brothers and a sister, Noah Pearson, Zion Barwick and Aleyah Barwick. My parents are Tom and Charity Barwick. In high school I was involved in Volleyball, Swim Team, Show choir, Soccer, peer buddies, and Fusion. With my time there I was able to achieve girls all team leader board large division at the Branson volleyball tournament 2025, 3 year varsity letter in Soccer, swim, and volleyball, and was given a multitude of scholarships with my heard work and leadership throughout my time at JHS. With all of that being said, it could not be done without my personal Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I always have to remind myself of my favorite verse, Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Without him, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
