Religious School Admission Essay

I am proud to announce Houston Methodist has made U.S. News & World Report’s Honor Roll. Our hospital was ranked 19th, scoring high in patient safety, demonstrating commitment to reducing accidents and medical mistakes, which aligns with our I Care Values.

Studying at a liberal arts college, I learned not only about biomedical sciences, but also about a wide range of classes, such as math, computer, language, history, music, which prepares me to live a meaningful and passionate life, instead of merely to earn a living. Thus, I really appreciate Geisel’s “complete physician” education. At Geisel, besides mastering my textbooks, I will have the opportunities to really learn how to

Methodist University was one of my top five schools when I started to apply for school. There were three important aspects to why I chose to attend Methodist University. The most important part aspect of going to Methodist was the education part, along side with the men’s lacrosse program and my girlfriend.

Transferring to Holy Family University was the best decision I made for obtaining my undergraduate degree. I think what motivates me most at Holy Family is the accelerated program itself, my fellow students, and the non-traditional faculty that manages my learning. Holy Family’s accelerated program was the key factor for attending this University. As an adult who works full-time, I was previously taking one class per semester at the local community college. Only have the capacity to take one class at a time was actually demotivating, and I was on the verge of quitting my pursuit of an undergraduate degree.

When I was seven years old, I begged for my parents’ allowance of my baptism. They didn't feel that I was quite old enough to comprehend the impact that it would have upon my life. Back then, I thought that it would be cool to get dunked into water for five seconds in the presence of a large audience;, it went without saying that I enjoyed trying new things, and best of all, I loved the attention I got when I tried them. “I believed I was pursuing success and the best was yet to come,” (Moorer 33). I was your typical precocious know-it-all.

I am interested in attending UNC Wilmington for one reason being a program that is offered that I am planning to study which is sports medicine and this leads me into more medical programs that I am interested in for the future. The location of UNCW is in the town I live in and so it is by the beach which are factors that I keep in mind. Growing up in Wilmington has given me the chance to participate in the Little Seahawks Program as a kid, attend many basketball camps and volunteer or play in the Leon Brogden Tournament which was held at UNCW and so I have been able to get a taste of the campus through all of these events throughout my life. Over the summer of 2017 my high school basketball coach has grown a relationship with the women’s basketball

God shows love in the greatest ways. There are so many passages, especially in the book of John that prove what a loving God we have. He sacrificed his only son for us and if that doesn't prove his amount of love then I'm not sure what could. Everyday this attribute of God shines through anybody who believes in him. There are ways love is working in your life right now and you don't even realize it. Romans 13:10- "love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." Going about your day with love will never steer you wrong. Even if you feel like you just cannot be loving today, try your hardest to have an attitude of love and it will change your perspective for sure. It can drastically change your personal views as a believer, the way you can apply this attribute, and how the attribute of love can draw in non-believers.

I see my life as a series of experiences that build upon one another and, through my hard work and determination, lead to overall long and short term goals that I have set for myself. There are thousands upon thousands of things that affect my life both directly and indirectly all of which have varying degrees of influence on me. Three areas of my life that most certainly have had a profound impact on me are scholarship, spiritual formation, and service. These three areas have affected me positively, and have motivated me to pursue higher levels of education, and have challenged me to set my lifetime goals higher. Though I'm not exactly sure where I will end up in life, I know that if I let my academics, spirituality, and service

Ever since I can remember I have had an intense curiosity about the world and the people in it. This is probably due mostly to my parents who read to me nonstop but it has fuelled most of my learning experiences and given me a love of the world and of people, and the understanding of both of those. This love was further developed when I began four years of learning Attic Greek and Latin through a classical education. Then, after yearning to go overseas since I was eight years old and saving for it most of the time since then, I made it to England for six weeks this summer. Here my appetite for understanding is being indulged not just with words and pictures but with real world experiences which I can touch, see, and hear. Now, as I near the end of my stay, I am looking ahead to the rest of high school and I have decided I want to make the most of my junior and

It has been several DECADES since that coming-of-age summer, and despite my efforts to maintain my fluency, as with most skills, if ya don't use it - ya lose it. So, it was with great diligence that I worked for several months preceding

Trying to decide what to do for the rest of my life is a hassle. I have to consider what I do well, what I enjoy, and how much income I would like to make. No one wants to wake up every morning hating their lives because they have to work long hours doing something they do not enjoy just to earn an income. The more a person loves their job, the better they will be at it and the more they will be willing to go to work. After spending many years being indecisive about my future, I have finally committed to pursue a career in speech pathology at Nicholls State University.

Driving to Starbucks in Arvada and the weather was calm, cool and collective. It became the most interesting, graceful and intense summer that year. It was summer of 2012 and I sat across my bible study leader surrounded by coffee at Starbucks as she told me to grip the coffee cup. She used it as an analogy as accepting Christ in my life. As I took the coffee cup and accepted Christ as my savior, my life has forever changed and the blessings have been flowing into my life that only GOD can give. I have chosen Colorado Christian University as my choice of college to finish out my bachelor’s degree because I have a strong ambition to chase after a relationship with Jesus. I want to use my spiritual gifts I have been given to spread the love of Jesus

of reference, I realized I needed fraternity. I realized I needed camaraderie. I realized I needed to be a Whiffenpoof.

Brown is a place of opportunity rather than merely just a prestigious institution. Josie Valcin, a family friend, graduated Brown in June and currently attends the Brown Medical School. We grew up similar places and were raised in the same church, and although I do not necessarily want to walk her same footsteps, her success and Brown’s open curriculum give the confidence to know that I can excel there as well. I want to be in a place where not only am I intellectually unbounded and opportunities are plentiful, but also where I can immerse myself in a setting of like-minded individuals who realize that education is not limited to just the classroom. Ultimately, I will take advantage of my four years at Brown and immerse myself in the wide and

I mean, I try to pray everyday, but usually I either forget or feel too rushed to finish. This form of prayer was deep and thoughtful. I also began to think about things. My life, my family, my schoolwork, you name it. I actually ended up finding myself going between these deep thoughts and prayer, almost like I was praying for the things that I was pondering. Asking for help and strength on certain matters; apologizing and asking forgiveness for some of my actions; thanking and praising God for other things. I grew up in a Catholic home and attended church with my family each week. However, since beginning college, my attendance at weekly services has become fewer and farther between. I enjoyed being able to use this time to what I
