My Reflection On My Personal Statement

There are few certainties of what one will encounter during life. A common joke names two: death and

Faith is my bedrock, my passion, my belief structure. I grew up under the tutelage of a God-fearing (loving) mother who emphasized the need to “trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6 English Standard Version). I never let go of my belief structure, even when I joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) straight out of high school. It is this faith and the above-mentioned Proverb that guides me throughout my professional career.

My Mission Statement: To bring light to the lives of others and walk with my best foot forward with a smile on my face.

My mission in life is to give back to the community and bloom wherever I am planted. I am very passionate about the welfare of people and helping unconditionally and motivating them to be a better individual. I still remain a mentor and tutor to many youth in my hometown (Detroit,

My core values are a belief in God, and vegetarianism. Animals experience pain like humans but they cannot express it, so people exploit them. I appreciate the lives of all living beings, especially my family and friends. Without them in my life, I would not have any purpose to push myself and to succeed. My passions are finding joy in little things in life, exploring the world, understanding diversity, using my creativity, and teaching others in helping them to achieve their plans in life. They give me the purpose and the power of reaching my goals in my personal, academic, and career life. I believe that kindness and support drastically change someone's heart and the way they view the world.

I have no other option, but to write this humble request. I am going through challenging times, and respectfully ask for help. The reason behind this charitable request is the growing cost of healthcare expenses which includes a needed hernia surgery and owed dental bills.

My mission is to give, giving is something that I love to do and I would also want to become better at giving and helping others. I’ll start by learning new ideas and ways to help and give others and also learn how to understand others because understanding is the key to finding value and value is the basis of respect, decisions, and actions. I would like to help influence the future development of people and different organizations. I want to teach my children and other to love and laugh. I will build personal, business, and civic relationships by giving, in frequent

My three core values are love, honor, and truth. It was very easy for me to settle on these words because I have always had these as my values, but I did not realize it until this year when I joined my sorority, Phi Mu. These words are a part of our creed, and we are supposed to ‘practice day by day love, honor, truth’. Our creed is our sorority’s set of beliefs that guide us as a whole. We try to practice it every day, and these principles have made their way into my daily routine. Naturally, I think I would also practice these principles as I grow older and become a leader. My credo has developed throughout my life because I was raised to employ these values. I was shown love from my family, and because of that, I show love to others and whatever I put myself into. I was an athlete, and so I put my positive attitude and enthusiasm into my sports. I was shown right from right form my parents and from my teachers in school growing up. I learned right from wrong and I am

My faith has been a huge factor in my life. At school we take part in many religious activities. First of all, we go to mass twice every week where we have time to time reflect and pray to God. Second, we had our first reconciliation which really made me feel very sorry for my sins. We go to confession twice a year and I always love the feeling of being able to start over. Third, we received the Eucharist for the first time in second grade and every time we go to mass. When I receive the Eucharist I feel

Unfortunately, my family cannot afford to pay for my education,However I plan to continue applying for financial assistance online , work part time, whether it's delivering pizza,helping clean up around the gym,or doing local yard work, also maintain a good academic standards, although I haven't had the best of grades years past,slowly but surely I will get on the right track. It is my hope to receive a sports scholarship playing football and hopefully getting accepted into EIU,within time it would benefit me greatly.

A personal mission statement is a philosophy or creed that one plans to follow in daily life. It is usually designed with positivity, purpose, and with personal goals for every aspect of life such as career, finances, etc. It also focuses on personality traits that one would like to possess and the accomplishments that one wants to achieve, both short-term and long term. It also houses the individuality of the person writing it. Every person writing a personal mission statement is will produce a different statement. This is primarily because people value different things, characteristics and have different goals. The purpose of this paper is to explore my mission statement (Covey, 2013, pp.113).

Beginning the writing process, I established for myself a mental roadmap. I asked myself what I was trying to say, and what the goal or intent of the writing would be. Was I attempting to persuade my readers, or to be didactic instead? I considered the "how" part of the equation later, and honed each sentence word for word. The how part of the writing process was relatively simple compared to the question of what to say, and why. I had to imbue the paper with social commentary, for there was much to say about these readings.

My personal mission is to constantly strive to be the best overall person that I can be within my personal and professional life. My goals are to inspire and help others and myself around me to achieve greatness and a balance that will maximize our potential that will transcend the boundaries of our dreams.

For as long as I can remember, my main priority has been my friends. I would do anything for my friends, and I’m fairly certain that most of them know it. I’ve gained and lost a lot of friends over the years, be it simply because I move or they move or maybe because we simply drifted apart over time. When I was younger I had many friends move away, but I still have many memories of them.
