Mission Statement and Personal Philosophy

My own personal mission statement:

I aspire to live each day as if it were my last and to live a life full of passion, commitment, continuous improvement, personal growth and determination. Whilst doing so, I wish to learn to love myself, and only then will I automatically receive the love and appreciation that I desire from others. I aim to inspire and touch those around me and leave the world a better place than when I arrived. I will go through life with a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye, while I strive to fulfil my utmost potential.

Every time I read it, I get goose bumps down my spine and I feel my soul awaken. This quotation epitomises my life. It has taught me to be myself even when society and the world around me is trying to change me. It has reminded me not to try to fit in as I was born to stand out. I most definitely am a crazy one; I am loud, confident and bubbly and it is very important to me to stand out, while being a round peg in a square hole, and make my mark. For me, the most important value I live by is inspiring. I wake up every day with the biggest smile on my face regardless of what the previous day had to offer. I smile and I smile hoping to make someone else’s day and life better, hoping to change the world. This quotation probably resonates with me so well because I want to push the human race forward and live in such a way that I may reach the highest potential in my …show more content…

Throughout high school I have struggled with Afrikaans and even though I have invested many hours in preparing for my tests and exams, the outcome does not reflect on the input. It is important to always remember that failure in life is inevitable, but most importantly it is what one takes from the experiences that is significant. Failure is able to strip away ones sense of security and self-worth, although it can also ironically teach one things about them self that they could have learned no other way. I know that without failure, there can never be success. I have developed the following mantra, thanks to Michael Jordan “I have failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed.” I am confident that all my hard work will pay off in the long-run and then I, Kira Horwitz will be able to say that success is the best revenge for anything and that I only succeeded because I failed. Through failure one learns that one has a strong will and that there is a proverbial light at the end of the tunnel, provided one chooses to look for it. Perseverance is the key to ones success and it is important not to put a time frame on

Rockhurst High School Mission Statement Analysis

498 Words | 2 Pages

Over the past four years at Rockhurst High School, my education and formation have had one common goal: to exemplify the school’s mission statement in my life. The mission of Rockhurst states, “In the spirit of Saint Ignatius, its goal is the formation of the whole person within a diverse and disciplined environment, as one who is open to growth, strives for academic excellence, is religious, loving and committed to justice through service.” These words have been my foundation and motivation for the past four years, but that is all they are, simply words. The Rockhurst mission statement has no real meaning unless its students truly become men for others and strive to live the Jesuit mission in their lives. This has been my challenge at Rockhurst.

As Vince Lombardi said, “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.” I want success in life; however, I have learned that it is near impossible to attain success without failure. Every single success and failure in life has led me to believe in myself and everything I hope to become and aspire to

What Does Religion Mean To Me

Stereotypes In The Film 'Freedom Writers'

The movie “Freedom Writers” presents itself as a movie that challenges stereotypes and stigmas against students who come from stigmatized backgrounds.

The depiction of the students is problematic because the actors are much older than the age of the children they are expected to be portraying.
