My name is
Tessa Hope Oakley.

I am 19 years old, from good old

Wheaton
, Illinois.

I am a daughter to two amazing parents, Greg and Kathy Oakley, a younger sister to Sara Nagy and Erin Oakley and a sister-in-law to Michael Nagy.
My family is by the far the best family ever!! It's hard to explain why they rock so much, but if I had to sum it up, I'd say its because of their good looks, awesome sense of humor, encouraging support and really, they just don't come any better! :)

My friends are
crazzzy and I love them because of it!

I've been a Christian since I can remember and truly feel blessed to have had a
personal relationship with
Christ at such a young age because of my involvement with Camp Timberlee, a Christian summer camp.

I could not be any more excited about going to
South Africa. At least once every hour I say, "Ahhh! It's gonna be sooo cool!"

There's two things in life I'm really passionate about: kids and helping others. ….and I probably couldn't live without baked goods.
yummmmmy!

I'm
extremely optimistic and non-confrontational.

Thank you for checking out my site and having an interest in this awesome mission I'm taking on! You're prayers are always welcomed and extremely appreciated! I am, in return, praying for all of you!
