Science Honor Program: A Personal Statement Of Purpose

Being part of the Science National Honor Society has been something that I have wanted to be a part of since my sophomore year. The wonders of science is something that has always interested me. Becoming a member of the Science National Honor Society will help me learn even more about the wonders of science outside of a classroom. I also believe that being part of SNHS will help me interact with other fellow classmates that I might not interact with during the school day. It also make me more confident to speak to new people.

After a semester at Auburn, I was not so sure of my dream. I had realized that Architecture was not all fun and drawing. Math is not a favored subject for me even though I am good at it. I had always been in Honors Math classes and was on math team in junior high until I

“What do you want to be when you grow up?” is the most frequently asked yet daunting question. As a child I gave trivial answers like a grocery packer or shoe shiner. As I matured my answers always included positions in the medical field including a psychiatrist, physical therapist, and x-ray technician. While all of these careers involve helping others they failed to suit my personality. They were either to involved or not involved enough with the patient.

Dave workman said that, “ Our desires, our missions, have to be under Gods.” In other words if you feel that God is telling you to do something, you do what you think he wants you to do. Rather than doing what you think is going to help you or improve on your life. Maybe he is telling you that he needs you to go help someone, or maybe its something big like you need to go on a mission to spread the word of god. Whatever you think God wants you to do you should go out of your way to accomplish his needs and then you can do what you need to do.

I would like to be in Honors Science because I am ready to take on the challenge, my passion for science and the natural world has grown and I am a self motivated learner that is always willing to learn new material. Honors Science would give me the opportunity to do each and every one of those things as well as challenging me with more complex things. My passion for science has grown and as well as my curiosity for the natural world. Science is made up of so many different attributes and topics which makes it so interesting to learn about. This year especially, I have learned about chemistry and what it is, DNA and what it is made out of, and waves and technology and what it does to help our world.

Many times, God places dreams in our hearts and has a purpose for our lives. After reflecting on the question, it is my belief that if would trust Him enough and to take Him at His word, I will find myself on a journey toward fulfilling His dream of my life and not my will. God makes things happen that I can never make happen on my own. With God, on my side, and what He has purposed for my life will come to pass. so, as I follow His lead, I will different times, find myself standing in a valley of decision. I do know that there is a huge between

I have been going to a Bible study at a friends house and he has been helping me understand what the Bible is saying to me and I feel like this is a calling from God so I can help other people out when they do not understand what the bible is saying and to also help out my friend and my pastor. I feel like this is the place for me to get my degree and to be able to help out others and everyone in my church is very supportive including my mom because she says an education is very important. I look forward to starting my classes online to further my

Just like Junipero Serra, if God called me to take part in a religious vocation, I’d trust that he knows what’s best for me. I would have to be open and unafraid of the task he has in mind for me. The task that He has in mind for me might not be as big as Junipero Serra’s task, but it might be just as impactful to others. A religious vocation can mean many things, such as spreading God’s work through actions. My vocation could be marrying someone and having a high paying job. Even though I’m married and have a job, I take part in a religious life too. For example, I could be called to help a shelter and care for homeless animals in my free time. It may not be something I could do for a living, but it could be a small way that I can contribute. If more

Hi Adrienne! Although your post is somewhat different from mine, I find your reminder about pivotal moments in our path on life incredibly encouraging. In my post I discussed the fact that God’s desired result for my life was to become a mother, and I believe that in order to become a mother, God needed me to become a teacher as well. Although I did not begin my pursuit of a degree in the field of education, somewhere deep down I always knew that I wanted to be a teacher. It was not until I received a bachelor’s in business administration, and a promised job following graduation, that I understood where God was directing my life. Following the merger of two major companies, the job that I was promised upon graduation was eliminated.

This past school year , I was an energetic student excited about pursing a career in engineer. The first semester went was not too bad. I meant I still wanted to become an engineer. The second semester came around , things started to become more difficult than I thought. May it was the combination of two Calculus classes and two required engineer classes. I really struggle with Structural Statics and my CAD class. I never felt so defeated in my academic affairs because I had attended all the office hours my professor had. I was disgusted and shamed at the results I was receiving even though I had all the help from my professor and stayed up trying to figure out the assignment. Like Moorer, I prayed to God daily to help me complete my daily engineer assignments because I was failing hard in my assignments, not to talk about my quizzes and exam for Static class. To cut long story short, I believe the reason why I was experiencing such hardship was the fact that I had based my faith in constantly asking God when I realized that I was not performing to the standard I am used to. I realized that I was not being true to myself and that I was not actually pursuing a career that my heart had chosen. The reason why I had failed in engineer and was unhappy that I had convince myself that engineering would be great because I was told I possessed certain skills that would make a great engineer. Through my triumph as a first year engineer student , I become aware of God’s message to me. This message consist of me pursing a career that I would be happy with and not what people wanted me to be. Ever since that realization , my heart did not rest until I had finally changed my major . My heart was telling me try out social work. This following school year , I will be pursuing a career in social work . I am now happy mentally and spiritually that I will be trying something that

I never understood math or science, I hated History and English but arts and crafts was where I truly excelled because it was the only self-expression I knew.

To ignore or overlook the call of God in an individual believer, the church as a whole, or the community in which God has placed them, would be missing the opportunity to transform lives to the glory of God. There is no small or big call to where God calls and places the believer; it’s just His call.

A person’s calling comes from the Lord and every Christian has at least a primary call (“by God, to God, for God”) . Generally speaking we are all called as Christian to love God, love each other, and to share the gospel. On the other hand not all of are called to do this in the same way. You see this throughout the new testament as though we are all part of the body called “The Church” each person is a not a foot or hand or so on. As define in The Call, “special calling refers to those task and missions laid on individuals through a direct, specific, supernatural commination from God.” For somebody to be called, he or she must first understand that there is a Caller. The Caller (God) calls us to both a corporate call and an individual call.

understand my call to ordained ministry as the same as other baptized children of God. My calling is, however, to the ministry of Word and Sacrament. This is to proclaim the gospel and administer the sacraments according to

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1883) said, “Each man has his own vocation, his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him.” (p. 112). He was speaking of the gifts granted us by God to fulfill the plan that He has for our life. Discovering and utilizing those gifts is part of the decision making process in career counseling. Christians advocate the use of spiritual discernment in order to guide the decision making process. Properly interpreting the will of God for one’s life is at the heart of each of our choices including those choices involving vocation.
