Personal Statement : ' The ' Are Crossed And My ' My `` I '

This has led me to where I am today in my second semester of college and knowing I have the support of my friends, family and the blessings from heaven, I seem to be doing better than what I believed I would and feel even more at ease. The ever valuable lesson I learned is sometimes there are jobs we may think we cannot do we must

I have two mission statements for my life they are “God will not put anything on you that you cannot bare and always remain humble”. The first statement has been my words of wisdom since I was a child. I was always thought that no matter how hard life got do not give up because the problems and the pain will not last forever. I use this statement a lot when I am at work, especially if I’m having a difficult day where it seem like everything is going wrong and it seem like there is no solution. Working in the medical field has taught me to be humble and appreciate my life. I use to work at a dialysis center after talking and seeing how dialysis was taking effect on their everyday life give me a new perceptive on how much we as healthy people

I say begin because to quote father Kirby “The depth of our character is as vast and large as the entire galaxy”. We can never fully know who we are and we can never fully know someone else. That is, in my humble opinion, what makes life so amazing. However, what I have learned is that I have a moral duty to attempt to the best of my abilities and with the help of our Lord to be a man of good moral character, who’s action reflects that, and as a result build better communities. Communities that are just and of good moral character. In addition, to aspire to be as both Professor Kirby and Michael Himes have stressed so eloquently to be a man of integrity. So that when my eventual time comes, everyone, I’ve left behind can say I was the same person to them all. I now understand what it means to habitually answer the call to recognize, respect and respond to other persons as creatures fashioned in the image and likeness of God. To focus more on helping others and try to guide them with nothing but my best intentions and “to give myself away” to quote Michael Himes, and by doing so be of good moral character. In light of this, it is due to my countless hours reading the book “Character, choices and community” that I have committed to memory the second chapter, a chapter I believe of grave important

If you live by God’s Word, He will give you blessings and continue to help you succeed.

It is essential to me that I remain authentic to my call in that it brings what I enjoy doing, what I am good at, and what others need from me together. A part of this is to be open to the possibility of change and to embrace how I can continue to grow and hone my skills. I value the opportunities to continue learning and connecting with people around me. I must understand that I am walking a path that is unique to me, as everyone else is on their path in life. It is okay to have conflict and stumbling blocks, yet I must persevere and listen to the voice that is

always taught me that 'if you do your best, God will do the rest'. I am confident that if I strive to be the

Growing up, my family and I went to church every Sunday, to learn more about God and how to have a strong relationship with Him. I also went to various conferences and outings with my church friends. Every time I listened to a speaker, I would take notes and read the Bible. This newborn relationship that I accepted with God also presented the opportunity to spend time with Him everyday in a daily devotion, which consists of reading the Bible and writing in my journal. I started reading the Bible and writing in a journal during elementary school. On Sunday mornings at church, throughout the school year, my church has Sunday school. In these classes, the teachers helped with literacy rates and taught about God’s love and power. I have been practicing the Eight Habits of Mind, which consist of Curiosity, Openness, engagement, creativity, persistence, responsibility, flexibility, and metacognition (Council of Writing Program Administrators et al. 5). For example, I learned and desired to receive more knowledge about the world since creation, which addresses the “Curiosity” aspect of the habits. Additionally, the Bible gave me a new sense of investment and involvement in learning more about God and how He loves me, with “Engagement”. This literacy sponsor has prepared and strengthen my college preparation literacy level skills. Primarily, learning outcome: Critical Thinking, Reading, Writing, and Research: Reading, “Understand, analyze and evaluate arguments in research-based texts” (Kalish 2). Today, I still am a Christian and continue to read the Bible and write in my journal daily. Growing up as a Christian has encouraged and increased my literacy levels. I not only have the chance to practice reading and writing everyday, but to learn about my God and the great things that He has done. My faith has supported my increasing literacy levels, but also challenged it. There

This statement sums up the whole focus of my life. All other priorities, concerns, and pursuits of mine stem from or are secondary to the commandments and teachings of this church. My future is in God’s hands, my passion to follow Him, and my desire to align my will with His. Contrary to what some may think, this doesn’t mean that I shouldn’t work hard and plan ahead. Instead, I believe that this is exactly what God wants me to do, having a mindset that is open to counsel from Him.

"Education is the key to success" my father always said. This is a motivational quote that will always stick with me because of the impact it has made in my life. Even before my school days I watched my parents whip my siblings into shape to push them to succeed beyond expectations. My siblings worked exceptionally hard in school which paid off when they received awards and recognition. This pushed me to follow in their footsteps and lead me to do well in school and to have a driven mindset. Being a very humble person, I always had friends of different upbringings and futures. Good companions of mine who went to school and did well tend to be better off financially and emotionally. Seeing others progress always and still does makes me want to do well in every educational aspect I am in. I insist on seeing all the work I have put in and will continue to put in pay off. When I use this drive of education to complete college I wish to find the job of my

“We all long to be in the flourishing section, but we stay in the safe section”(Mr. Mustard.) I want to be able to stand up for what is right no matter who it is for or when it is. “ For I know the plans I have for you, Declares the Lord, Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future(Bible Gateway.) This is has helped through this year because it has helped me to know that I am the temple of God and I am the body of Christ. I know that my plans and God’s plans are different. I learned that through this year. I always wanted to make my own plans like I will study this or I want to do this. But it I have found out that it doesn't work that way. I know I have to believe in him and he will show me the way. “Also tht I am the body of Christ, when God looks down onto this earth, He will look down on us and see the image of Christ in us”(Pastor Matt.) That just blew my mind, I don’t know why, but it did. That is why I want to grow more in my faith and my action because we all are made in Christ image, and we should fulfill

evokes the thoughts of past conversations with my friends and others regarding our future and some of them stating in response that I should rather choose an easy career and not attempt to try to obtain the job I dream of, pursue, and work hard for in order to obtain it. However, some of my friends and people I have talked to understand me and have a desire to be successful as well, and step outside from the norms and have a desire to do something enormous impacting various people, and become prosperous. In addition, the thoughts that come to me when listening to this verse is my strong desire to be successful, prosperous, and the fact that my goals are far from the average person goal and desire to obtain my goals despite the difficulty and extensive hard work that is required in order to achieve it.

My personal goals is to continue pursuing the human services field, my biblical worldviews will stand firm. We have a perspective of God’s Word that we carry out through the Holy Bible. Of course people interpret theirs opinion toward God’s Word, but doesn’t mean its right. It’s the bible simple value of everything. However, my understanding of how

In order to prepare for the many rigors of life at the Naval Academy, I have challenged myself in all that I do to develop into a more morally upright individual, while also tempering myself mentally, physically and spiritually. To prepare myself academically, I have constantly thrown myself into difficult and highly technical classes. Physically I have grown through sports; I have pushed myself through various activities such as rock climbing and wrestling, and now that I am in college and do not have access to sports, I have been pushing myself to go to the gym daily, and if that is not available to at least do an equipmentless routine. Spiritually, I have grown to make decisions though the basis of my religion, Christianity; I ask myself

“The highest reward that GOD gives us for good work, is the ability to do the work.” Elbert Hubbard (brainy quote insert). It has always been important for me to connect to spiritualty with my success. I feel as if you put your physical and mental power in your work or success, but the spiritual power from the universe is important to me. To explain the quote above, it simply describes the amount of effort you put into your passion may be good enough to get a person through the moment, but the universe always allows growth for the individual to do better. I am a good/average B/C worker, I found myself fitting into 5 out of the 10 categories of the common list of the common reasons students don’t graduate, and discovering these truths about myself I found out about the awareness of emotional intelligence and how it plays a major role in who I am.
