Christian University Experience

Statistics show that anywhere from 40%-80% of high school Christians abandon their faith within their first year of college. This is a huge problem that needs to be fixed. The youth of today and tomorrow need strong Christian leaders who are able to fortify their faith before moving away into the real world. There are three key factors that lead to this high percentage: Students are unprepared, they are in a more hostile environment, and our natural inclination to sin and fall away from God to pursue our own worldly passions. Students, who cannot effectively defend their faith, are going into a more hostile environment with less Christians and are being offered alternative world views that allow them to follow their own desires. We can’t do a lot to change their environment or human nature, but we can build up young Christians.

I would like to be considered for admission to this Colorado Christian University because I believe that it will be a perfect fit for me. I will have the opportunity to receive a degree and strengthen myself in the Word of God. For many years, I have been interested in studying Psychology. My interest in pursuing this field stems from many factors, but the number one reason will be my love for people. I consider myself to be big hearted and a compassionate person. God has blessed me with a caring spirit. I have love for people and I desire to be a helping hand to as many people I can reach. For many years I have found myself working with foster children or taking care of those who needed caregiver assistance and I want to go further. I believe

Truthfully, I just want whoever reads my essay to know that this is a hundred percent me. I admire the prestigious excellence of Chapel Hill and I would be more than honored to attend. Nonetheless, if I do not make it, my perception and respect for Chapel Hill will not change. I am compassionate about people which is why I am pursuing a career in the medical field. That is why going to a liberal university such as Chapel Hill would be a fitting institution to attend. Chapel Hill is a place where I can open my mind to more diversity and opportunity. Again, I am not someone who stays in my comfort zone; I am all for new experiences and settings.

The Lincoln Christian University, founded in 1944 as a bible institute, and has turned into a higher education community whose mission is to nurture and equip Christians with a Biblical worldview to serve and lead in the church and the world. Lincoln commits to teach our students to live out their faith consistently and considerately as leaders in the church and the world. With every class that is taught and every student that they graduate they strive to make a better world.

In the course of human events, it becomes necessary to have certain expectations for oneself and community, that time is especially true now. There are few moments in life in which students feel this much pressure, but have such high expectations. At a Christian University, the academic and social expectations are expanded to even include spiritual standards.

The first strategic objective I chose is “honor Christ and share the love of Christ on campus and around the world.” (Colorado Christian University Strategic Objectives, n.d.) I chose this one because I believe that during both classes I have taken we have been given the opportunity to do so during our discussion assignments. During these assignments we are expressing kindness and the love of God in our sharing and responses. The Christian worldview point regarding a man is created in God’s image supports this best when it states that “Also, if man is created in God’s image, than all people are worthy of respect and honor.” (What are some essentials of a Christian Worldview?).

My interest in special education came about when I got a job at a private preschool for children with autism. It’s the most rewarding job seeing those little ones smile when they mastered a new school. It is also rewarding knowing that you are changing that child’s life. Although, I have seconded guessed my degree multiple time I have always came back to education, but went with a broader field in psychology to expand my availability to careers. I always enjoyed kids and from a little girl I had a skill to teach my peers and for them to learn.

Applying to a Christian university was the last thing on my mind a year ago. I was much too into myself to be concerned with the Creator of the universe. The sport I was dedicated to enveloped all of who I was, which eventually let me down through the sorrow and struggle of injury. I was hopeless with myself and my future. It would take a grand miracle to bring me back to Him, and an even greater miracle to want to pursue full-time ministry. That miracle’s name was Jeremiah Williams. He is my Christian community, and having the opportunity to go to a school like Azusa Pacific with like-minded faith like Jeremiah would be a dream come true.

My Essay on Life Events and Colorado Christian University The event that will be described in this essay will be based on being homeless while raising a child as well as going back to school to get a good education; as well as being able to use my degree to get a better career to be able to raise my family with a decent income to survive and maintain with. One year ago to date, my son and I dealt with being homeless because I decided to turn my back on God and hurt the man that was God sent to me because I took a turn in my life and danced with the devil. Knowing this was wrong I caused a lot of hurt and pain towards my God sent companion as well as m children. People that I thought had my back and were on my side turned on me, which was more

Christian College should become a dry campus. No alcohol should be permitted for anyone and students who are over 21 should be encouraged and given opportunity to drink off campus if they would wish.

San Francisco International Christian Academy believes that the school is the agent of God’s redemptive and reconciling plan to help students establish good habits and manners following the guidance of God. SFICA maintains the Bible as the foundation for the students’ spiritual and academic growth, and each student should follow the instruction of the Scripture and the biblical principles.

I enjoy working with kids. When I look back at the teachers that I have had in the past, I think about how I could be one of those teachers that has an impact on someone years after they have had my class. Although if I do major in Elementary Education I am not sure if I want to stay in the USD 259 district considering all the budget cuts that have been made. Alternatively, if I were to be a social worker I would still want to be someone that influences kids for the better. After butler I want to attend Wichita State University, and start living in the “adult

I have had several experiences in my life that has brought me to where I am now. If I had to focus on an event that helped influence my choice to return to college and more specifically Colorado Christian University, it would be the decision I made to finish my Bible studies and aim to work in full-time ministry.

I applied to many Christian colleges but was only accepted at Asbury. Coming to Asbury scared me because I am quiet and don’t tend to make friends easily and was convinced that everyone already would have friends of their own coming in. I worried and stressed over this and then prayed over it for weeks before I got an email inviting me to join the Archway’s camping trip. Now I am not that much of an athlete so a hiking camping trip is an odd place to see me, but the email reassured me that no prior experience was necessary, but the selling point for me was the guarantee at the bottom of the email of lasting friendships. That was it I was in, unfortunately, I had to wait two more months till it started but the weight of not having friends was lifted off my shoulders. The next month I went and stayed with my Aunt and Uncle for a month by myself. This was a really big deal to me because I had never been complete without any of my immediate family around. My Aunt and Uncle were really welcoming and loving but during this time a seed of loneliness was planted that would continue to grow over the next semester. I came back from this trip and went straight into an amazing Archway. The camping trip was so much fun! I loved

All in all, I believe majoring in education would fulfill my vocation given to me by God. God has gifted me with talents in teaching in order to assist others and help them to succeed.Teaching to me is an outlet from the real world. When I am teaching I forget all my problems and I am solely focused on helping others. All my life I have been told to share my gifts and talents with others. I feel through teaching I would be able to do so. Teaching others gives me a sense of joy and pride. I feel joy because I am assisting others and leading them on the path to success. I feel pride because I was gifted by God with talents that other people are not. I believe the only way to give back to God for giving me these talents is to share them with others.
