I, Demetri Tolbert, am a Point University alumni who graduated with a Bachelor’s of Science in Child and Youth Development. I am applying for the Masters of Divinity program because I believe the program will provide an opportunity for me to further my knowledge in ministry to not only build an effective ministry, but to grow people in the knowledge of God. On December 31, 2015, I was ordained as a minister of the Gospel under the leadership of my pastor, Bishop Frank McLeod. As I have grown up in and around church, with both Baptist and Pentecostal backgrounds, I have experienced great denominational divide in the body of Christ. However, I know God is too great to be confined within denominational constructs.
First, I believe by obtaining my Master in Theology from Liberty University it has helped me develop a stronger and deeper understanding of God’s word. My studies at Liberty have set me up for success in the Doctorate Program at Liberty. Liberty seminary staff has very knowledge staff and motivates their students to excel in their studies and gain a full understanding God’s word. The instructors at the Rawley’s Seminary school has a great depth of knowledge and wants the seminary students to gain a deeper understanding of God’s word to be able to minster to other people around the world. We need strong Christian based teachers to educate not only the Churches, but the entire world on why we need to believe in our living God.
Regent University allows students to grow both academically and spiritually into Christian leaders that will greatly impact the world to advance the Kingdom of God. Regent not only teaches students, but they also equip students to fulfill the Great Commission; which is to go out and teach the nations about Jesus. My vision after graduating from Regent is to heal God’s broken people through a holistic approach; addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual needs through the formation of a nonprofit organization. A MA in Practical Theology would enable me to teach and minister from an outreach approach; sometimes teaching to the homeless in the streets, other times reaching those in shelters, and also those broken within the church. This demographic appeals to me, because I know what it feels like to be broken and lost; and I further understand the power that is in Jesus and his ability to restore and heal.
I want to be a New Leaders Council fellow because I am impressed by the career building opportunities that it provides to its fellows. I am at a point in my career where I must continue to build my network to further develop my career. I am interested in the opportunity to learn from others experiences and share in ways that can help to build others. I am impressed that the New Leaders Council represents is a collective of changemakers that are prepared to address the complexities in society. In review of the website, I am excited to see the curriculum designed to develop leaders in several areas including: communications, fundraising, and political management.
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.
As a rising senior, I want to join the Ladders for Leaders program in order to obtain an opportunity to participate in a paid professional summer internship. This program will allow me to gain more experience in the professional world. I hope that this program will help me further explore my interests so I can have a better understanding of what I want to do in the future. There are not a lot of opportunities given to high school students in terms of internships and work opportunities. We are not taught the necessary skills required for the workplace.

According to the website collegeresults.org, only 24% of the students attending Old Dominion University are graduating within four years' time. This concerns me because I plan to transfer to ODU and graduate from ODU. Because a college education is important, I want to become a successful student by listening to expert advice, by developing effective strategies, and by overcoming my challenges. Because most people agree that a college education is important, I want to become a successful student. Robert S. Feldman, a professor of psychology explains many benefits that I will receive from earning my degree.
I am applying to join the Leadership Development Programme primarily because I wish to be able to teach and inspire students from all walks of life. The Teach First mission speaks volumes to my own morals and goals. I believe that all children, no matter their socioeconomic background nor the area that they live, should go without an excellent education. As the programme boasts having a direct link between it and improved GCSE results in the schools that it has worked with, it strikes me as not only being worthwhile for my own personal growth, but that of any children that it would give me the opportunity to teach. While expecting it to be a tough route to take, I feel like the programme will challenge those who undertake it to be the best
Openness: With a moderately high score on openness (33 out of 50), I possess a curious, original, intellectual, and creative nature. I embrace novelty and enjoy exploring new ideas and perspectives. This inclination towards openness allows me to approach problem-solving with a fresh and innovative mindset. I find that I can think outside the box and generate unique solutions by considering unconventional approaches. However, I also recognize the importance of routines and structure in maintaining stability and efficiency within the organization.
Teaching at Palm Beach Atlantic University in a comprehensive christian atmosphere allow ones to integrate christian values and ideas into education giving the chance to share the love of Jesus Christ with students who may need spiritual guidance and leadership. One wonderful aspect of teaching in a Christian school is that God’s word is taught. As students pursue the study of pharmaceutical science in a Christian setting, their aim is not only to have a career in pharmacy science but also to chase after the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. Therefore, it is expected as an instructor at a christian institute to plant God's word in the hearts and minds of the students. And I strongly believe that An education that uses God’s word as its foundation produces spiritually-mature, wiser and more knowledgeable Pharmacy students.
A “personal philosophy” is not designed for a particular place and time. It is a broad template for taking command of self. Thinking through and recording how we intend to lead and serve can be remarkably productive. As with strategic planning, the process is often worth more than the product.
“Does the future scare you?” is a question that one has to eventually face, and at this point in my life, the future does scare me. However, this can be analyzed differently by other psychologists. My interest in Contemporary Psychology does not scare me, but rather make me feel secure. It helps me to understand why I act the way I do.
Individual Reflective Paper Introduction Leadership, a controversial concept, has been studied for centuries. Scholars who study leadership have argued with the insight of leadership for many decades and finally promote a wide range of understandings of it. This course “values and leadership” introduces the basic principles and concepts about leadership, and provides us with some conceptual knowledge and practical approaches to be an outstanding leaders. I chose to take this course because I am interested in the topic about leadership.
