Reflection On Creighton Prep Affected My Faith Life

Looking back, I regard attending WBU one of my best lifetime decisions. Before I discuss my experiences at WBU, it would be prudent to first give a brief background of myself. To begin with, I have had the opportunity of serving my country in the military and in a way; this has largely shaped my personality and my outlook of life. In that regard, I have come to appreciate the value of life more than ever before. Further, the time I have served in the military has taught me that success is possible in any facet of life with the right attitude, determination and personal sacrifice.

I was able to attend three church services at the Athens First United Methodist Church and gain insight on what it was like to be a weekly congregation member. While focusing on the members of the congregation and their mannerisms, the pastor and the way that the congregation was being addressed, and the overall routine of the service I was able to write-up the way that I felt and the things that I noticed while being present. I feel as if the Catholic and Methodist church are different and attending the mass was not something that I was used too. I was experiencing a different religion and church service. I felt like there was a sense of community at each service and I really liked the way that I personally felt welcome each time I went. I am not saying that the catholic church does not have a sense of community, maybe it is because Athens is a small town and members get to know each other very well or what but I felt a strong community vibe. I was able to focus in on the members specifically and the way that they interacted with one another and the pastor. Friendly, is the word that I would use to describe the members. Each person had a smile on their faces on entering and exiting the church. Reverend Robert McDowell did a wonderful job interacting and engaging with the congregation throughout the service. He wanted his people to listen and reflect on the words he was saying not just blankly listen to. Going to the Methodist church was an eye opening experience to me, realizing that going to church and being in college is not a bad thing. It takes up one hour of my time one day a week. This project made me realize the difference between religions and unfamiliar places and how it can be educational and exciting to

I hope to prove myself to be a good mentor for those who seek help and guidance. My leadership in my church played a large role in my life. I have led many activities for the religious youth group at St. John the Baptist, talent shows, fests, and lock-ins. I currently aid in some activities my school has to offer. I attend all class meetings, offer ideas to improve events, promote school activities, donate supplies to any events, decorate for dances and spirit weeks, do photography for the Science Olympiad team, and help my teachers in any way possible. As I participate in activities where I am the leader I make sure that I consult with my peers and listen to their ideas in hopes that we can come together to devise a plan of

4. How does your view of behavior affect how you might address this consulting assignment?

1. The author (Ostrander) emphasizes that students should not stress out over choosing a major. He tells us that what one majors in is less important than the overall qualities, knowledge base, and the skills that one develops. Ostrander also points out that a major is much less important than the skills that people gain by using a quote from an executive, “I look for people who take accountability, responsibility and are good team people over anything else. I can teach the technical.”

5.3. Describe the complex feelings that may be experienced by others involved in or witnessing an incident of challenging behaviour. 5.4.

In addition to character, I have also had many chances to show my skills in leadership. As a freshman I was a representative for the class congress and was able to participate in

I’m most interested in becoming a peer leader mainly because of my integration at Lynn. When I came to Lynn I came in for soccer and I didn't really branch out much, but through the first forty and resident hall activities I really branched out to meet new friends. I want to be able to give incoming freshman this same experience and allow them to enjoy their college experience with supportive friends by their side. I truly believe I'm qualified for this position in many ways. I have a fun, bubbly, and energetic personality. I redshirted for two sports this year and I never let it bring me down, I always brought positive vibes and joy everywhere I could. I’ve also always had a passion for people as well, I

I spent a year of college trying to be African. Afrobeats vibrated through the walls of Beets-Veenstra’s first floor dorm. My Christian college had an open-door policy. Walking past the ninth door on the left gave visitors an eyeful of my black hips swaying in circles as if an invisible hula-hoop entangled my waist. I had to get the moves I learned at the parties right. The beats were different from the hip hop music I regularly danced to. They were smooth tempos, but faster than reggae and bodies rocked with more control. My roommate complained about the hours I spent dancing in front of the mirror. We were not flat mates the next the year.

Fostering my students, will hopefully lead them to be better individuals in the world, and serve, too. I will be able to encourage a trustful, prayerful community of learners by knowledge I have obtained at USF. Before every staff member as an RA, we open or close with a prayer. This has shown me the power of prayer, and what it can do for an individual and the group. My family today does not pray at dinner or before any meals, but my own family(my children and significant other) will pray and discuss our day at at least one meal a day.

Provide a substantive response to at least two of your peers. As you respond to your peers, consider the following questions:

Trinity Christian College, a private institution established in 1959, is located on a 52-acre suburban campus in Palos Heights, Illinois. Although the college roots are in Reformed Christianity, the college welcomes a wide range of denominations and traditions. Trinity was granted a charter by the state of Illinois in 1959 to award bachelor of arts and bachelor of science degrees in an assortment of fields. In addition, many of the programs offered at Trinity have professional certification and accreditation.

I believe Lewis University requires their students to take a theology class to help us better understand Christianity from a different point of view. They want us to explore things about religion that are beyond the norm. For example, we wouldn’t examine Gods existence in church, but in a theology class we will. The majority of students in the country attend public schools. In public schools we do not learn about a specific religion. Public schools are to diverse and there is a fine line on how much a school allows its teachers to teach. Lewis, being a Catholic and Lithuanian school has the ability to require students to take a theology class. They have the power to do so because when students enroll with Lewis they are aware that it is a

Theology will impact my life in a new way because it will challenge me to dive deeper into the word of God than just scratching the surface. Moreover, it will provide a framework that can be used to reveal God’s presence and revelation in the scriptures, as well as, the many aspects of my life. I did not study theology before, as this class is my first academic opportunity to do so. Actually, I had originally thought of theology as another term used to discuss the Bible and debate interpretations on verse or themes of the Bible. I believed it was based mostly on opinion through personal revelation. This was also a time in my life where I loosely believed that interpretations were founded from personal epiphanies of the reader. Thankfully,
