Colorado Christian Personal Statement

The more I get closer to my graduation, the more I know that I want to continue to grow in a Christian environment. I go to school at Northwest Christian, and I have recently been grateful for my experience as I am constantly surrounded by peers and teachers who love the Lord. Fortunately, I have gone to a Christian school my whole life. Nonetheless, my spiritual life is not finished growing, which I can continue to grow in a Christian College. The reason I want to continue my academic journey in a Christian Environment not only to make myself grow in Christ, but also so I can surround myself with those who have the same beliefs as myself. Due to having teachers who have the same beliefs, I do not have to be forced to believe something I do

Although I am not one hundred and fifty percent sure I know what I want to be when I grow up, I’m almost positive I want to go into the medical field, more specifically become a nurse (then move to Africa and save lives but that's thinking really far ahead). Because I plan on taking several science classes it’s important to me that I am learning from a Christian prospective. Thought high school, I have had a wide variety of science teachers, some have believed in Christ and others have not. Because several scientific theories disregard the idea of a God, and the teachers have expressed their belief in these theories, it can be difficult to have a strong faith in God and yet study science. I know that all professors teaching at CBU are Christians, this fact alone is extremely important to me when deciding a college.

I am a sophomore at Liberty University located in Virginia. I am currently enrolled in the Interdisciplinary studies degree plan. As a child, my mother was a nurse who is deeply involved in her religion which is Christianity. She was my role model and I admired her dedication. I believed that I was religious, hardworking and dedicated just like my mother. My mother wanted me to be a nurse and to attend nursing school. In high school, I went to a school that mainly focused on the nursing curriculum outside of the basic high school leveled courses. However, after experiencing my time in the nursing courses throughout high school I did not seem to be very interest in that career. I wanted to be a lawyer, psychiatrist, or Business manager in Information

One of the most important aspects for me, in choosing where to go to college was finding a Christian college. Even though I have not yet decided between attending Mount Vernon Nazarene University and Grove City College, I am trusting that the Lord will reveal his will to me in this decision. The main goal in choosing to attend a Christian college is to grow close to the Lord through my college experience and be surrounded by others who share my love for the Lord and also the desire to learn more about the world that He has created. I want my education to be ultimately centered around the truths of God’s Word. For me, choosing a major was a difficult decision, but I have chosen to major in electrical engineering. Throughout my high school career,

From the moment you start kindergarten you are being prepared for what comes next, every year without fail you are asked the same question, “What do you want to do when you are older?” in reality you have no idea what is in store for you. Nobody warned me about all of the choices you had to make when it came to picking the right school, technical schooling, a state school or Christian Liberal Arts. I was fully confident about picking USF, but then I constantly got the question of “Why?”, the easiest response was to just say “I like purple!” and move past the question. I never really stopped to think about the amazing opportunities a Christian Liberal Arts school would have, I just took it as a plus that I was allowed to openly worship God and know that other students were here to do the same. A Christian Liberal Arts education is beneficial in every aspect of life, from vocational to avocational, to purposes and values remain constant.

At the age of fifty, I found myself attending college for the first time. I made the decision to begin attending Bethel University in April 2015. I was very excited and determined I was going to obtain a bachelor’s degree, no matter the price I had to pay, financially, mentally or physically. After completing a year in the classroom each week, then later completing three online classes to expedite my electives, I have had the privilege to experience both classroom and online.

I am loyal, responsible, capable adventurous, honest, and athletic. I love to try new things wither it is food or new Ideas to further advance my knowledge. I am the oldest of four so I have to take responsibility to set an exemplary example, and I have to help out around the house to help with my youngest sister. I love to play sports and I play multiple sports yearend. I am trusted by other families to babysit their children so I am definitely responsible and trustworthy.

I have always wanted to help people and the medical field is where I see myself being able to put that to the best use I can. I had my first child at the age of 14 and since then I have always been putting my children first. I feel that it is now my time to achieve my academic goals. Pursuing a degree as a nurse will also help me give my children a better future by setting a good example for them to follow. Colorado Christian University and the nursing programs they offer along with the online classes are a few of the reasons that I believe CCU is a great fit for myself, my family and my education. Being able to do online classes will still allow for me to keep working and providing for my young family and be able to not miss my children growing up. As I looked over the required courses that are offered and criteria that is required of a student at CCU along with the Christian background I felt alive and engaged. The Christian faith based course, I believe will also help me grow and learn in my faith while still being able to focus on my education. I can not wait to get started on my academic goals and dreams at Colorado Christian

I have been working at Mount Pleasant Retirement Home for a little over six months. I chose this place to work at because it’s only a few minutes from my house and my mother also works in health care. Since I have worked there, I have learned a lot of new things, even being in culinary. Things like, what types of sicknesses the residents may have to how to save somebody who’s choking. I’ve also met a lot of new people who I’ve learned a lot about. I get to serve some of my favorite people every time I go to work. That is why I really enjoy my job working as a culinary assistant.

For my second analysis, I went to a church in my hometown of Paris, Texas called Freedom Church. This church is a new non-denominational church that is trying to reach to the “de-churched and unchurched” as their tag line says. They have only been operational now for less than a year, so they are still trying to get new people to join their church. For this reason, this past Friday they put on a huge Easter event for kids and adults that had games, dinner, and a worship service. I saw and experienced some aspects of what non-denominational believe, and the freedom this church let people have during worship. There were also many things that happened throughout the service that I noticed that we talked about in class that I found they were

An Interdisciplinary Degree with the cognate of Health and Natural science was the appropriate choice for me, because of my background as an Allied Health Care Professional, who wanted to seek advancement in the medical field. Additionally, gaining a Christian worldview has enhanced my ability to provide exceptional care to every patient while sharing the gospel through caring.

Students are able to choose a degree in theology - which will focus on Christian teachings - or religious studies - which

My experiences at Crew Carwash have allowed me to develop and build upon my skill set. Quickly, I developed into the leader of my workspace and was rewarded with a promotion. As Team Leader, I lead, mentored, and trained the other associates. I mentored two specific team members into becoming additional Team Leaders. In addition to coaching other associates, I exemplified my passion every day, specifically on Sundays I would come in an hour and forty-five minutes early to knock out all of the location's weekly tasks and set the location up for success. My strong leadership skills coincide with my ability to connect and create relationships with others and build a strong sense of unity among my coworkers. I am defined by my passion for hard

I have gone on to train at four of my jobs that I have had since. It does not take me long to move around in the company I work for, because I want to learn all the aspects and departments. The current position I hold now I got to in one year, the prior year I moved throughout the whole customer care department and trained others. She gave me the passion to teach others and to strive to do my best. I no longer feel the struggle I did and I am not aloof like I was before. People have come to me and told me they feel comfortable enough to approach me with questions and they want to learn to work the way I do. She has instilled in me great work ethic and the desire to help others as she

If I’m being honest, If I had to describe my personal relationship with Christ with one word, I would use the word unstable. This has nothing to do with Christ but everything to do with me. I know that Jesus Christ is always there for me and is steadfast in his love (Lamentations 3:22-23), but I think that I rely on myself and my own devices way too heavily and I lose sight of how much he truly loves me and the significance of his unfailing love. I think that I leave him and come back to him repeatedly because of my desire for self-reliance. Self-reliance is not a bad thing by any means, but to sacrifice your relationship with Christ because of self-reliance is a bad thing.
