I have a 2.65 GPA currently before I transferred to SGU I had a 3.0 GPA. I believe moving off campus will help me promote the mission because it will help me focus on what matters the most to me which is my academics, communal, and spiritual growth as a Christian. Before I came to SGU I had great grades, doing things for the community, and being able to be with my local church. I wasn't living on campus while at my last school so I could focus more on my school and God. I will explain why this is important to me and for my life to live off campus.

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.

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

Marywood University incorporates a mission statement where they base a campus state of well-being off a list of core values including, empowerment, service, excellence, catholic identity and respect. We are working towards a goal in a community at Marywood that presents these core values as a set of words to live by on campus, but in our hearts we have to connect meaning to them. Sometimes, it might be hard as a college freshman to know these words by their definition but rather what they mean to them and how they can actually put them into action. The book “A Good Man” and the speech “This is Water” represent the Marywood core value of Excellence in two completely different ways in which a Good Man represents the physical actions of Excellence

Although I was only at the bud of SLA’s growth, the mission statement it still holds today was engraved in me from the beginning. SLA pushed me to lead to my best ability through different aspects of my life including academics, moral growth, and service. I learned to be a leader is not simply someone who tells others what to do, it is someone who embodies a strong sense self, but at the same time selfless. A leader shows others how to work hard in life and radiate love in every encounter with others. What I learned throughout my two years of SLA was a springboard to help me grow and prosper in high school.

So many people go into college unaware of any deeper motivation than an education, an experience, or athletics. They do not go into college with any adequate reasoning besides the “questionable social aspirations” and “tentative vocational goals” (Holmes 1). Yet the Christian college is worth more than such goals, the Christian college allows students to pursue academic excellence while keeping God at the forefront of every area of study and campus activity. The goal of the Christian college is to not compartmentalize Faith and Education but to integrate it in everything the college does.

Although there are many things we do well, there is room for improvement in the area of accentuating our school’s heritage. As stated in Timothy J. Cook’s Architects of Catholic Culture: Designing and Building Catholic Culture in Catholic Schools (2001), “it is incumbent upon Catholic educational leaders to capture and attend to the Catholic imagination by utilizing the building blocks of culture including ceremonies, rituals, symbols, and human communication” (8). In my school history inventory, I have suggested a number of action steps to maximize the impact of Mercy High School’s culture in the community. However, the most important action steps involve two of Cook’s “seven norms for Catholic educational leaders” (2001, p. 95-102).

All of the reviews pertaining to Saint Mary’s focus on the affordability, quality of education, and dedication of faculty to imparting the best education possible and taking a genuine interest in the students they are working with.

Being a man for others means being able to fill demands for justice, and not being limited by time and place; a man for others is willing to do what is necessary for serving others. Being a man for others is also being Christlike by knowing when to be selfless, noble, and even affable and joyful, as Christ is. This is the path that I hope to pursue at Jesuit and I am encouraged to know that this is the path that God desires for me to pursue. Though the athletics programs and facilities on the Strake campus are desirable, I can more importantly be academically successful at Strake as well. The rigorous yet rewarding acedemic program at Strake Jesuit will benefit me by making me a mature, college and career-ready
