My Spiritual Strengths And Personal Statement

Pursing a career as a medical doctor is an opportunity for me to mentor youth in underserved populations. As a child, I was raised in the low income, urban community of Roxbury, MA. Although not as notorious today, the neighborhood had garnered negative attention for its high crime rates. My mother emigrated from Haiti and raised me as a single parent. Due to our financial circumstance, Roxbury became our permanent residence. I have always felt there was something lacking in Roxbury in comparison to other towns I visited. My teenage years were largely spent in the suburban town of Stoneham where I attended high school. There was a literal difference in air quality and a psychology contrast in future prospects. While native students of

What are your main strengths?Punctuality, adaptability, precision and organisation. These are the strengths I possess, and the qualities that I believe will allow me to excel in this field of work. I understand that being punctual is crucial when working in a warehouse and distribution setting. Arranging deliveries with couriers takes tight time keeping abilities, where forward-planning is key. I would describe myself as having a strong work ethic; I am enthusiastic and dedicated to put in the time and work that is necessary to achieve the task at hand. I also have a lot of motivation to succeed. As an example, during college four students and I were assigned to do a group presentation within a three week deadline. I assigned each of my partners

I was never a religious person as I grew up. Most of my life I lived in a home with people who were not faithful to a religion. My father is the only one who has ever tried to convert to Christianity. I went to church with him for a while, but my mother would constantly be upset with my father for giving his tithe. I was torn between two people who were suppose to make me feel safe. I had siblings that were never around when I needed them. This feeling of abandonment impacted me greatly. I wanted to know who to go to. I wanted someone to talk to. There was times when I prayed to a God that I wasn't even sure existed. I questioned my faith and all those around me. I could not handle my impatience. When God did not answer my prayers, I put matters into my own hands. I made terrible mistakes.

I believe that everyone needs to have a belief. I don’t believe in god, but I believe in something. I believe in myself, humanity, and the greater good. Whatever makes you happy is worth believing in. If I want to believe that my loved ones go to a beautiful place when they die, then I’m going to believe that no matter what. I believe what I believe and no one can ever take that away. We all have different opinions and views of the world around us. That is perfectly fine. Where there’s something to believe in, there’s reason to live. Where there’s reason to live, there’s happiness. The goal of life is to reach our own sense of happiness.

Even in my childhood I had always believed everyone is in complete control of what they can do and how far we can reach. I know that having this belief will get me places and I won’t let small or big problems life throws at me stop me. I'm 17 years old but I have seen the unimaginable and witnessed the unexplainable that many would simply not believe and able to understand. I’ve been in positions where I believe not many students would have an answer to act on but I had to take immediate action. In this society many believe just because you're an adolescent you don't know what this world is really about. I learned that you will be judged either way so you must do as you please.I also believe anyone can set their own destiny and change does

I was introduce to Jesus Christ and his teaches as a young child and my relationship with him has grown stronger as I have gotten older. As a young women, I have tried to maintain a relationship with God through daily prayer and attend church when possible. Although, I do not attend church every week I still feel as though I walk in God light. When I am facing impactful choices, I always pray and have my faith in Jesus, that he will guide me in the right direction for me. I know he does not give me more than I can handle and I try to remember that when tough times are put upon me. Over the last couple of years, I have been faced with very impact paths. In this last year, my father was diagnosed with cancer and it has been very hard on me and

During my high school career, I have been a participant in the National Honors Society, the Beta Club, the McIntosh band program, and the Peachtree City recreational soccer league. I am also currently an altar server team leader at Holy Trinity Catholic Church. I joined Beta Club in the spring of my freshman year, and I currently maintain my membership. I also joined the National Honors Society in the fall of my junior year, and I am also currently maintaining membership in this club. In both Beta Club and National Honors Society, I devote my personal time to helping others in my community in order to create a better society. For example,

I believe that organization, responsibility, and focus are my greatest personal strengths that help me be successful academically and socially. With organization, I keep an updated Google Calendar which allows me to visualize my day and allow me to manage my time more efficiently. This features helps me stay on tract in completing homework assignments and it always me to see the free spaces when I could possible study. I believe that I am a responsible student and I prioritize my academic career before social activities or leisure. However, I also make sure not to overwhelm myself in academics and make time for other extracurricular activities. I am very focused in pursuing a career in pharmacy and I am motivated to do my best to achieve this

The religious experience is one of the most hotly debated topics in the study of religion. What entails a religious experience? For me, the most refreshing thing about religious events is that they tend to be sporadic and individually unique, stretching from the oddly mundane to the inimitable. The sensation is different. The location is different. The state of mind is different. However, this encounter with the sacred is mentally piercing in the most fascinating, diverse ways. I can be randomly walking around school campus in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and suddenly become engrossed in all the vivid colors of the plants and conscious of the intricate details of being alive. I can be sitting among a huge crowd outside the king’s palace in Fez, Morocco, and unexpectedly become aware of the individual currents of blood flowing through my veins as I become entranced by the Whirling Dervishes. I can be standing on a beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama, staring aimlessly into the ocean, and experiencing an intense sense of longing and painful separation caused by leaving a country and people I had come to adore and love. I could be choked up in a spurt of laughter caused by a practical stranger while gazing at a 2000 year old monastery on top of a mountain in Petra, Jordan. All of these sacred experiences, fusions of good timing, emotion, and sacred space, are forever ingrained in my memory and heart. The happiness, the pain, the joy, the inability to

Trying to decide what your personal strengths are, is hard. For myself, I have grown in my strengths, and I’ve experienced my weaknesses. My personal strengths consist of: positivity, encouragement, laughter, and love. I pick these four because I feel that I am truly strongest in these aspects of my life. Being positive is a big factor in everything I do. I always want to be happy and joyful; not only to display Christ in me, but to make others feel the way I do. I want others to appreciate life and to feel any kind of uplift in his or her spirt. Positivity plays into encouragement. I make it my goal to make others feel better about themselves. My goal coming into college was to learn and know every person(s) name that I got the chance to meet. Just taking a few minutes out of your day to truly get to know someone, is such a blessing. It not only blesses me in new friendships, but it also blesses others because they feel that someone genuinely cares about them. Laughter is another characteristic I strive to pour out onto others. I laugh at practically everything. I love to laugh, and I love to make people laugh. I’ve learned the importance of laughter, and I just want to make one person smile every day. Love is my last of the four attributes. Love is so important to me. I love creation (Trees, birds, squirrels), God, and I love people. I just want the love that God has given me, to pour out onto others. I want others to know that I love them. These are my personal strengths

And so the story begins, as I grew older I struggled with my faith in God. During my high school years I started experimenting with different types of drugs as well as partying and drinking every chance I got thinking it'd make me cool, never really caring about how it was affecting my life. I would smoke weed everyday with my friends skipping class not doing homework because I was too high to even function, this caused my grades to fall from 3.5 GPA to a 2.0 GPA but I didn't care, I thought I was cool. Drinking effected my mood,I didn't care about how I treated other people or the way they felt, It was all about me and what I wanted, I could feel myself changing into someone I didn't like but I didn't know what to do.

The purpose of this memo is to evaluate my listening skills, assess my strengths and weaknesses, and describe how I can improve my skills. My listening self-assessment score of 36 indicates that, although my skill level is decent, I have room to improve significantly. I regularly attend professional meetings where either informational listening or critical listening is required. Despite this, I consider my listening skills subpar and am aware of my need for improvement. In understanding how I can improve, I must first assess my strengths and weaknesses.

When I reflect on my past, I recall a time period in which God was not as important to me as He is now. Nevertheless, I am regularly humbled due to how imperfect my faith and love can sometimes be. Some would agree that growing close to God is a life-long process. Therefore, we will always struggle against temptation, vice, and sin as we seek to grow in holiness. If we are honest, I think most of us can relate to this experience. Do we not all struggle in the calling to live totally for God and His glory?

My biblical journey started off very slow, and inconsistent. As a new born Christian I was very gullible, I would just go to church on Sunday mornings and believed whatever it was my pastors would say. I very rarely read the bible myself having one on one time with God. Very often I would get drained, and not feel as close with God as what others seemed to be. After a few years of my journey being this way, I finally came to the realizing that the reason my faith wasn’t consistent was because I was not having a personal relationship with Jesus. Although my faith with Jesus is now strong, but my biblical knowledge is weak. I’ve always have struggled with picking the “good stuff” from the Bible rather than reading things that may make

When I was a young child, I “accpeted” God as my Savior after hearing about it at a camp. I went along with the Christian crowd, but never really had a faith of my own. Again at 11, I accepted God, with real faith of my own. Since then, I have been struggling to keep that faith, and been constantly burdened by the thought of not having a real faith. Very often do I wonder if my faith is real, or if I have just been faking it so long that I have been conditioned to think it is real. This summer, I had a “spiritual high.” I went to a Christian summer camp, and my view of God forever changed. Prior to this camp, I saw God as an unfair judge, looking to punish those who break His rules. After a message on Jesus questioning Peter’s love, I realized that God was a compassionate, caring God. With everything I had, I wanted to pursue God and have a deep relationship with Him. I promised myself that I would continue to press in to God, but as I got home and got back into the flow of normal life, I drifted away from God. Starting school has taken almost all of my focus away from God, and onto school and social life. On top of not finding time for my spiritual life, when I do have time, I do not know how to even have a
