Young women become nuns in America: a rare journey.

This story is about two young women, Seyram and Zoey, who decided to become nuns. This is unusual because very few young women choose to be nuns these days.

Seyram, from Ghana, always thought she would get married and have children. But one day, she saw some nuns in a store and felt a strong pull towards that life.

During the pandemic, Seyram felt scared as a nurse but also felt closer to God. She started spending time with God like a friend, even having 'date nights'.

Zoey, who studied psychology, also felt a call to become a nun. This was hard for her family because they are very close and would miss her.

Both Seyram and Zoey found peace in their decision and their families now support them. They are happy to be closer to God and are using their skills to help others.
