Anna Kurilchenko, 17, is a very active member of her church in Delta Junction. She teaches Sunday school, sings in the choir and raises money for teen mission trips. She seems like a typical hard-working teen but speaking in front of a group of kids doesn't come as easy to Anna as it does to most. At the age of 6, she underwent an inner-ear surgery that left her with a speech impediment.
