I am most attracted to Loma Linda University’s mission to make man whole and continue the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus Christ and its commitment to faith and science. As a Seventh-day Adventist christian, the motto to make man whole has never been more personal than it is now. As I grow in my experience as a christian, to further the teaching and healing ministry of Jesus continues to take center stage. This mission and an understanding of the need for whole person care is something I seek to demonstrate and encourage through my profession as a nurse and involvement in my community. In addition, I am attracted to Loma Linda University’s (LLU) commitment to integrating faith and science. I am confident that I will not just be trained
Arizona Christian University (ACU) is a private 4-year institution that is devoted to creating leaders who can produce an impact on the world with the gospel (God’s word). Len Munsil, the President of ACU and author of the book “Transforming Culture with Truth”, mentions in his book that “we have forgotten who we are.” (Munsil 2) Which leads to the question, who are we supposed to be? ACU’s mission is “to provide a biblically integrated education that prepares its graduates to serve the Lord Jesus Christ in ministries and professional occupations.” (Munsil 50)
They really live out the Christ centered part of the mission. Everywhere I look as a student at LCU I see Christ. This has to be one of the most challenging parts of the mission LCU has to accomplish because of all the different backgrounds the
Participating in library study sessions with friends and peers has not only strengthened my understanding of course material but has also promoted a culture of shared learning, where ideas are exchanged, and knowledge is co-constructed. Engaging in campus ministries, such as the Homeless Ministries and Worship Praise Team by serving as a praise team leader and performer for various worship services, has deepened my understanding of the importance of service and developed a sense of empathy and compassion in my personal & spiritual growth. Collaborating with others in these contexts has provided me with a sense of purpose and fulfillment while fostering a continuous cycle of learning throughout my academic
As a prospective member of the Masters of Arts in History program at Liberty University I hope to accomplish several things. I am currently serving as a high school history teacher and this program will benefit both my students and myself alike in the foreseeable future. This includes reaching the goals of earning my master’s degree which will result in a higher level of professional knowledge in my content area, while increasing my income simultaneously. This is not the only positive factor, Liberty’s program will also contribute directly to growth in regards to my relationship with Jesus Christ.
I have chosen to apply to Covenant College because I seek a deeper relationship with the Lord that transcends into every area of my life, and I believe that I can facilitate that growth with the Christ-centered curriculum and community Covenant has to offer. I see the importance of being a witness to Christ at a secular university, but during my college education I want to better equip myself to proclaiming Christ in my profession and day-to-day living. Throughout the next formative years of my life, it is important to me to surround myself with young people who serve the Lord. Encouraged by conversations with my admissions counselor and information on the website, I believe I will easily mesh into the dynamic that exists at Covenant and cultivate lasting relationships. In addition, I tremendously value access to nature.
I’m a Christian 17 year old teenager that wants to be someone big, and shine God’s light in this world. To begin, the summer of 2016 I attend to my very first camp. With that said I have an amazing youth leader who I love so much and supports me in everything she encouraged me to assist to the camp “OVERCOME.” Turns out to be a total blast, I was 15 at the time, it was from my church. The weather, the place everything was wonderful, waking up to worship The Lord, it was when I believed when they say that we live for Lord, because I was giving everything, every second of my day to him.
Over the past three years, God has placed mentors in my life who have encouraged me to pursue a career in law enforcement with the Washington State Patrol. A Business Management degree will benefit me when I eventually reach a management position within the State Patrol. Ever since I heard about Verity, I have been intrigued by the intensive program in which students earn their degrees. As a highly motivated individual, the program Verity offers to prospective students fits my personality perfectly. I love the fact that Verity’s college experience not only will benefit me as a student but also will help me continue to grow in my walk with the Lord.
Arizona Christian University, founded by Len Munsil, is devoted to teaching students about Christ so that they may go out into the world and “transform culture with truth.” Faith, one of the categories from the acronym F.I.R.E. is integrated the most with ACU and the vision and mission for the school. ACU strives to equip students with bible knowledge through a common education so that they may serve the Lord through future endeavors related to employment and spiritual leadership. Faith is profoundly incorporated into the mission and vision of ACU and is of the highest significance in any Christian’s life.
“Preparing people to lead extraordinary lives.” (“Mission & Identity: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016, para. 3). This is the promise of Loyola University Chicago (LUC), a four-year, private non-for-profit Jesuit institution (“Carnegie Classifications,” 2015). Loyola was founded in 1870 as St. Ignatius College and is one of the largest Jesuit colleges in the United States (“Key Facts at a Glance: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016). In the 2015-2016 academic school year, Loyola enrolled over 16,000 students (“Key Facts at a Glance: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016).
I am currently working as an LPN rooming patients in an OB/GYN clinic. My job includes taking vitals, updating medical records as necessary, preparing exam rooms for the providers, administering injections and medications per order, and recording signs and symptoms for the providers. I work along side the providers and midwives assisting with procedures. I place OB patients on the non-stress testing machines and educate patients on topics such as breastfeeding, maintaining a healthy pregnancy, etc. Working here, I 've been able to witness many situations that drive me to want to succeed as a doctor, such as being able to assist patients who are in active labor or empowering patients to take better care of their health.
My goal is to establish strong partnerships with instructional programs, high schools, colleges, and universities to provide MESA students with a comprehensive support network and a seamless pathway toward their academic and professional
Coming from a different culture but still embracing the Christian values that Loma Linda University emphasizes, I believe that my unique background and personal experiences distinguish my application from others. Growing up in Egypt, where the gap between social classes is significant, my parents always stressed the need to prioritize service into my life encouraging me to dedicate time in volunteering and helping others. As a result, my experience has grown from volunteering to serve as a camp leader for orphans in the summer to participating in international dental service trips. These involvements would allow me to use my skills in organizing missions trips at Loma Linda. Being a Coptic Orthodox Christian enables me to add diversity to the
During the course of my fieldwork I worked directly to the Co-Directors of the Puente Program at East Los Angeles College (ELAC) as their Counseling Assistant. Through my position I was able to assist the Puente Counselor by meeting with students in the program, primarily students
Throughout the course of my study, I have developed a strong interest in biotechnology and the health industry; it is thus my hope to pursue a legal education that will enable me to participate in and even bring changes to their regulatory systems. UVA attracts me with its strong health law program. I especially appreciate the extensive collaboration between UVA Law and the other medical institutions of the university. As stated in my personal statement, one of my main motives to delve into legal study after obtaining a degree in science is to explore the power of law as a social factor that exploits the potentiality of science to benefit more people; such an interdisciplinary approach that UVA Law takes is no doubt the best way to understand
Even though my calling now is to be a nurse, I feel like being a professor that teach other students to help other in need is not a bad idea. Liberty University mission is to create Christ-centered men and women with values, knowledge, and skills essential to impact the world. Therefore, I stand by this mission to help other students so that they may help those less
