Personal Narrative: My Journey With My Collegiate Goals At Shawn

509 Words3 Pages

* Describe the intersection of your faith journey with your collegiate goals at PBA.

The intersection between my journey of faith and my personal collegiate goals is not something that can be simplistically explained, for the joining together of the two is a complicated, intertwined, beautiful, terrifying, mess of hopes and dreams. The word “intersection” is at first glance, uncomplicated, merely a definitive point at which two separate things join together for a brief moment. While my faith journey will intersect with my collegiate goals at PBA, the intersection is anything but ordinary.

A journey of faith is a way of life, much like success, the reward is in the seeking and not in a perceived destination. I know God has called me to continue my educational journey through college. To praise Him by acquiring as much knowledge about His kingdom as I …show more content…

The accomplishment of my collegiate goals is a step to facilitate my development of a lifestyle seeking God. My dream is to build a worldwide business with integrity and humility founded on the values of faith, family, freedom, and unity. I see PBA as an opportunity to join a community of like-minded peers and mentors who will assist me in developing those values, and provide an unparalleled biblical education.* An education that will not only scholastically prepare me for my future endeavors, but also teach me how to better serve others, how to become a better leader, and one that that will bring me closer to God. I feel that PBA will help to strengthen my Christian worldview in a relationship with the academic and business world, and provide the opportunity for me to use my musical gifts to serve others through faith. With professors who are committed to my success, I will have the opportunity to pursue both my gifts in music and passion for business in a community of like-minded people, and be able to use these gifts to inspire and bless

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.

It was difficult getting to where I am currently with trying to understand who I was? And who I am? Why I was going through what I was going through? How to understand and interpret what felt almost alien. It wasn’t until after getting into the University of South Carolina as a Biology major that I knew that that wasn’t what I was meant to be doing.

When I was was younger, I was a caterpillar crawling around trying to get through life, waiting to turn into the beautiful butterfly I know I could soon become. I made good decisions along with bad ones, saw the beauty in life as well as the unpleasant. I was like everyone else trying to be their own person, but now as I look at myself in the mirror I can finally see who I really am. I see myself as the beautiful butterfly I once dreamed of becoming, ready to fly down my own path. I have been in my chrysalis and I am finally out and ready to fly into my bright future.

Some of these things include: Will I be able to overcome the past failures in my life to complete my degree (Mastery in Arts of Counseling), will I have the self-esteem to be able to perform the tasks the career has entailed for me, and will I be able to uphold my contract as a learner of the Christian teachings, so that I may be there for the people that need my help with their struggles. Something that I will do differently as I travel down the college pathway is that I will prepare better, keeping my mind progressive and clean so that my time is better managed. I will also incorporate all the aspects of my life in to one learning experience , in other words I will try to connect my time at working at the food pantry, going to school, interacting with the media, and attending church. I enjoyed the video that was assigned to us regarding Andy Stanley’s lecture on choosing the path of the wisest choice.

It allows me to persevere when I don’t want to sit in the church office and prepare lessons or love students. It allows me to continue by faith my calling to be a seminary student and study and write. I could go on. This hope has changed how I live and work because it calls me to Christ and to live righteously in Him knowing that more is yet to come. I am weak and in need of much prayer and encouragement in Christ.

Next year at Embry-Riddle I plan start studying Cyber Intelligence and Security. Ever since middle school I knew I had a developing interest in the field of computer science and spent most of my time building the skills to excel in my classes. One of the first projects I got to use the computer on was a video for the Oregon Trail. I decided that it would be best to design an advertisement to showcase the facts in a new and creative way. When my group turned the project in, and it was shown to the class my teacher rewrote the assignment according to what we did and used it as an example of great work when recruiting new people.

I have been shown how to work with others, how to put my pride aside, how to lead as well as follow, when to speak and when to listen, the importance of open communication, pay attention to detail, and to many other skills too comfortably list. What I want to do with my life is to teach. Mr. Gilreath and his band had such a positive impact on my life. I aspire to be what he was to me and the rest of his students, a fatherly figure who we could openly talk to and help us through our lives. Mr. Gilreath created a family for us band geeks and we loved being able to make music with a man that truly cared about us and what we did with our music.

Faith is the back-bone and foundation of life. It brings meaning to our everyday lives, without faith, the things we aspire to do would be false hopes. When you look at successful individuals, they did not get to where they are by luck, but by faith. It was the sole driving force in their lives. Faith forms the foreground for every new accomplishment, innovation, finding, and triumph.
