Personal Narrative: My Academic Work And Goals At Colorado Christian University

East Carolina University is and has always been a dream school for many students including myself. I have grown up hearing about the University and it is nothing short of spectacular. Many family members of mine have attended East Carolina, and I have always pictured myself at this school. It would be an honor to be a pirate. Throughout high school I have struggled in Science and Math. I know I could have done better in high school but in life you can always do something better, im eager to push myself more and work harder than ever to succeed as an adult, if given the chance There are many times when I should I have put school in front of my extra curricular activities such as dancing, art, work, tennis, and swimming. However, all of those

During my two last years of high school, i've been in contact with a lot of colleges and universities. Many of which don’t get my attention. Throughout my whole high school years, there was only one college that i wanted to go to, Liberty University. I have heard so many wonderful things about Liberty and what i loved the most was that it was a christian school. Liberty had the number one thing that i am looking for in a college, that is a christian school, but many of my other things that i look for in a college where just not there. I used to live in Florida approximately 11 years ago and let me tell you, it's hard not to miss the sunshine state. Liberty is in Virginia, a state where it doesn't feel like home. When i received a brochure

My personal faith grows daily by my choice to follow my love and savior, Jesus, every day I wake up. It was by no accident that God showed me Liberty University, and has now become a top option in my choices of colleges. I believe in the deep mission Liberty University has to develop Christ-centered believers because it is the same mission I strive to live out daily in my walk as a follower of Christ. My season of life will not always be the same as someone else's, but I pray that what I have walked through and what God taught me in those seasons can give perspective to others. I have grown up always knowing God but not until my sophomore year in high school did I truly start to live that out. I took two opportunities in the past two years

When I think about what I could contribute to Florida A&M University based on the knowledge that I do have with your institution is that i’m a extremely committed student who has beliefs that you can do anything that you set your mind to. There may be some times when I may feel discouraged but why must if I feel like that if things aren’t easily handed to you. You must chase your dreams, and when you do that things will slowly fall into place (not exactly how you planned for it to be at times). I learned that through the many obstacles I had to experience to make me the well informed women I am today. The best activity, interest, experience, and achievement in my life was being a Big member of “Big brother, big sister”. Becoming a mentor for

As I sat on the couch getting ready for the first day back at school, I heard the phone in the kitchen ring. I stood up to go answer it and I heard loud footsteps coming down the stairs. My mother was running down the stairs to answer it just in case it was one of her work calls. I noticed that her voice started to crack as if she was going to cry and the smile that she once had on her face had disappeared. The person on the other end of the phone was my Uncle Dylan from California calling to let us know that Aunt Liz had died in a car wreck. We were so devastated but little did we know she left me $12k. A couple days later I received a letter in the mail saying that I had to use it to help pay for my tuition. I am looking to attend the nursing program at Lindenwood, Missouri State, or St. Louis University.

Wilmington started out as home, then became just a vacation. After years of moving and resisting the pull to move back, I finally made the best and brightest decision I think I have ever made. I am moving home, and in the process, I thought there would be no better place to further my education than The University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I have recently taken a year off in between high school and pursuing my college education, and frankly, I think it has been one of the most humbling experiences of my life. I have learned to appreciate everything that was taught by my parents and the schooling I have received. In that year I took part in America's workforce constantly facing the struggles of being independent and caring for myself,

Simpson Anne. Session1. JournalI feel like my experiences in life have shaped me into the person I am today. I feel that life has it ups and downs. I love God and know he is always there for us. A favorite scripture verse is John 17:16.”They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.”My dad was a minister. I am thankful that I grew up in a strong Christian home. I chose Colorado Christian University because I wanted an academic community that loves God. I feel in my short time so far at CCU that I have grown as a Christian. For example, I have more boldness to witness to people about Christ.What were some assumptions I had about CCU before I started my classes? I assumed that I would not have support from my fellow teachers and classmates.

Vince Lombardi Jr., the great football coach for whom the Super Bowl trophy was named, said “People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.” and “The dictionary is the only place that success comes before work. Work is the key to success, and hard work can help you accomplish anything.” I believe these statements are true and hope my legacy at Walton College will show that to be successful one does not have to be the smartest or most talented person, but that success can be achieved through hard work, the ability to collaborate well with others, and being willing to take risks. The success I have achieved in school thus far is not because it naturally comes easy to me,

I arrived on a Wednesday and observed a women’s basketball game hosted in the gymnasium. As I witnessed the game, I thought to myself, “surely God wants me somewhere else,” unfortunately the women’s team was not the best of the colleges that I had visited, but I continued with my experience. After the game Coach Sanders came and sat down with me and asked if I had any thoughts over the game, compassionately I gave him some constructive criticism and he gladly listened while agreeing with most of the ideas that I had. We concluded the conversation then my family and I headed toward Helen, Coach Sanders benevolently bought us a hotel room for the night because he wanted me to be the first recruit ever to have the opportunity to experience the Chapel service that next Thursday

There are many different events as well as experiences within my life that will give me a positive influence on my academic work with Colorado Christian University. The one that stands out is not really a single event, but many different events that happened in a very short amount of time. About four or five years ago I was a single boy living at my parent’s house, working at a grocery store and sleeping till noon on my days off. I was pretty content with my life to be honest. I did not have much of a plan or any direction for my future and I was not worried about not having a clue as to what it was I wanted to do with my life. I was dating my wife at the time and we had been pretty serious for a while. I finally proposed to her and we got

Until recently, if faced with the task of describing a particular event or experience in my life that would influence my academic goals at CCU I am unsure I would have been unable to do so without giving it a significant amount of thought. In fact, I may have never been able to isolate one single experience that had such a significant impact. However, recently I was thrust into a situation that gave me pause and made me think how important it is for me to gain a better understanding and knowledge of the Word of God. For the last year my wife, daughters, and I have been between churches-going from one to the other searching for a place to call home. We’d spend a couple of weeks at one church, two months at another one before finally settling

Throughout this summer there are Thousands of students all trying to take the next step in moving on after high school. I have already come to a decision that i will like to apply to California baptist university. I know I want to go to s school which will educate me intellectually and spiritually. throughout my college experience at Cal Baptist University I hope to experience a close-knit community that is uplifting and supportive. i know there is always a bigger picture: If I invest these next few years in a Christian education, I will come out better equipped to witness to others as-well as educate/help them.I hope to grow and mature as women and follow what god has in-store fo me.As a hopeful freshman student at Cal Baptist,I attend to

For my summer 2015, I lived in Calvin College's dormitories as a housing assistant. This job included waking up early to check in summer conference guests, to issue keys, and to direct the guests to their respective rooms. In addition to that, my responsibilities included answering inquiries pertaining to hall services, and generally serving as a resource to residents and conference guests.

This was a time to listen to a sermon with our church while on a retreat at the beach. Of course my friends and I jumped at the opportunity as quick as we could. Although, we were more focused on getting away from our parents rather than focusing on God. The theme of the camp that week was “Set Apart.” This theme focused on how Christians are not meant to be like everyone else. I had already entered the camp with the mindset that it was just a time to spend with friends, not a time to focus solely on Jesus. The conference lasted a total of five days, and while the first four days were a great experience, they did not impact me or my spiritual life in any way. The fifth day, however, was different. As I walked into the crowded, dimly lit building filled with rambunctious teenagers, I viewed my peers differently. As I looked at the kids around me, I saw the passion that suffused some of them that could only derive from Jesus. I saw those who were lost, like me, with a small gleam of hope gripping their eyes, wanting so badly to be saved from what had drained the rest of their hope away. As I was looking into that crowd, it hit me: the realization that although I was hurting, I was not the only one. I went in with a different mindset after that. I had hoped that those kids in that building would be filled with that same passion I saw in a few

Indiana University has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. As I was starting 8th grade, the idea of college was not even a distant thought for me. At the same time my oldest brother was starting his college journey as a freshman at Indiana University. Although I really did not know much about college life at the time, my brother called home almost daily to tell my other brother and parents about how Indiana was clearly the right choice for him. In just the first week of school he had made friends from both the East and West coasts, considered joining a fraternity, and was excited about the first football game of the year. Three years later, my other brother followed his older brother’s footsteps to Indiana University.
