Hi, my name is Rose, and I am now 21 years old. I am married to Adam and we just celebrated our first anniversary. We both go to the University of Southern Indiana. I'm a senior, and I'm super excited to be graduating this spring with a degree in exercise science. This past summer, I was an intern at a local hospital in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, and really loved it. I was blessed with a student position after my internship and have enjoyed working there. After I graduate, I have an Exercise Physiologist job lined up with them and plan to work for them for as long as I can. During this season, I have been running 5ks in our area, spending time with friends, playing in intramurals, attending various Christian conferences, and spending time with my husband. There is a lot to be thankful for! (1/11/24)
Hi, My name is Rose, and I'm 20 years old, but I'm not a Wickersham anymore. I recently got married to my high school sweetheart, Adam; so now I'm a Perkins! I'm a student at the University of Southern Indiana working toward a degree in exercise science. I'm not sure what I want to do with it, but some career choices I'm looking at are being a personal trainer, exercise physiologist, or soccer coach. I plan on graduating next spring and using the "semester" after to earn certifications that will help me be more skilled at various jobs. Some things I do in this stage of life are working at a local Christian bookstore part-time, going to Campus Outreach events, spending time with my friends, hanging out with my husband, and playing intramural futsal and soccer. I've been blessed with so much this season, and I look forward to what the Lord has in store for me. (1/13/23)
Hi, I am Rose, a senior at ECS. I continued to play soccer this year, but I'm afraid this is my last year of organized competitive soccer. We had a really successful season, and I am so grateful. I plan to go half-days for my last semester of high school because I have all the credits I need. So I'm really excited about the extra time and hopefully, not as many late nights studying. I don't have plans set and stone yet for college, but my options right now are going to the University of Southern Indiana for four years or going to Ivy Tech for an intensive 11 months of school for an associate degree and then transferring somewhere else. As of right now, I will be pursuing a degree in either kinesiology or exercise science. But who knows? I'm ready for the next step of life, and I am excited to see where the Lord takes me. (12/27/20)
Hey, I'm Rose, and I'm a sophomore at ECS. This fall I returned to playing soccer on our newly formed high school team. I expected to play more in the midfield, but ended up playing mostly defense which taught me a lot! I also ran cross country and was the only girl on the high school team. I didn't end up joining the swim team, but track will start in roughly a month. I enjoy being at school and serving as the vice president of the student body. About two months ago, I was given the amazing opportunity to compete in the Changemaker Challenge at the University of Evansville (UE) where the first-place prize was a full ride to UE. The challenge was to come up with a solution to a problem in our city. My partner and I submitted a video of our idea and advanced to the final twenty teams to get the opportunity to compete on campus. Although we didn't make the final six, we enjoyed learning great life skills such as public speaking, making professional skills, and how to respond when people don't answer emails quickly. :-) It was a busy season for me, and I'm extremely grateful for the rest this winter has brought.

Hi, I'm Rose. I'm a freshman at Evansville Christian School (ECS), and there are only 15 kids in my entire grade. I enjoy school, but finals stress me out. I stopped playing soccer for 1.5 years because there wasn't a school team for me to join. I now run XC and track for ECS and swim on the swim team. I have adapted to my new life in America and really enjoy it. Thanks for reading! (1/1/18)
Hi, I’m Rose. Here is something that you should know about me; I love soccer. I like to play it more than watch it though. I have to admit that I’m not as good as I would like to say I am. :-) I also like to read a lot so this year I joined a school club called Kids Read. I am a Christian and God is always first, but I need help remembering that sometimes. :-) I really like hanging out with the new friends that I made this year, many of whom happen to be Korean. I really feel at home in Tianjin, China, and I love my life here. (1/2/16)
Hi, I'm Rosalie, but I go by Rose. I don't like to study, although I try to do my best. I do like sports though. I really like to play soccer, and I was the only non-Korean player on an all-girls soccer team. It was really fun, and my relationship with the Korean girls and the new girls grew closer. For now, I play mostly volleyball. I will be playing basketball starting next month. I just got a skateboard for Christmas, and I would like to learn how to handle it a little better. I love the Son of Man, and I enjoy reading Christian books, especially the Good Book. I was challenged earlier this year to complete 20 Christian books, and I'm enjoying reading them. (1/3/15)
O.K. A brief summary of me. I'm Rose. I'm 11, adopted, and go to TIS (Tianjin International School). I'm in the 5th grade and one of the five American girls in the entire class of 44. I'm the oldest of three Wickersham kids and a believer in Christ. I like soccer, and I'm the kind of girl who doesn't like Barbies and a lot of other girly stuff. My Chinese language skills are much better now. :-) I want to share four things I'm thankful for this past year:
1. Getting Josiah
2. Going to America, seeing family, and getting a Kindle for my birthday
3. The start of the school year - Getting to see old and new school friends
4. Getting a remote control helicopter and seeing Grace's surprised and happy face when she got an a-gel mechanical pencil from me for Christmas
That's the main thing I want to share. Thanks for reading. (1/11/14)
Hello there. My name is Rosalie Wickersham, and I'm going to tell you what I like about my life and how God has made my life good. The first thing I'm thankful for that God did for me is my mother and father got me from an orphanage when I was four, and now I'm nine. I'm thankful that God helped me find a family that loves me. The second thing I'm thankful for is my sister, Grace, whom I like to play with. I like to play sports, especially soccer. I also like dodgeball. I can speak Chinese just like my sister although her Chinese is a little better than mine. Well, I still like to study Chinese. Some days I just like to go outside with my sister after I do my homework, and we have a great time together. (12/28/11)
