The second paragraph will be on Xavier University. In the last paragraph, one will learn how her schools helped people. Saint Katharine Drexel used her fortune to build mission schools, churches, and to hire priests, to say mass, along with sisters and brothers to staff her schools. “In five years’ time, she had built and staffed schools and missions throughout the west.
Additionally, Loyola University Chicago’s mission statement emphasizes spreading knowledge through a social justice lens: “We are Chicago’s Jesuit, Catholic University a diverse community seeking God in all things and working to expand knowledge in the service of humanity through learning, justice and faith.” (“Mission & Identity: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016, para. 1). Indeed, Loyola University Chicago is very proud of their Jesuit roots, and believes their Ignatian heritage strengthens the impact of their social responsibilities (“Mission & Identity: Loyola University Chicago,” 2016). Additionally, Loyola’s position within the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities allows them to spread “the service of faith and the promotion of justice” both nationally and internationally (“Mission & Identity: Loyola University Chicago,”
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.
The mission of the Le Mars Community School District is to guide every student in achieving the highest possible education by teaching the basic skills, developing good character, and promoting life-long learning, all through an aggressive partnership with students, families, school, and community. I have seen and read this mission statement, of the Le Mars Community School District, many times throughout my high school career. I am a student, continually assessed. I am observed in my behavior, my character and my personality. I also set goals and try to follow thru with each and every one, even though they are not always easy.
“City High School strives to be a community of learners in which all members use their minds well and care about one another. We engage with challenging academics and the unique resources of our city and region in order to become active citizens and responsible stewards of our world” (City High School, 2016). City High School of Tucson, Arizona prides itself on educating its students to go forward to become productive, contributing people to the country and to the world. Their mission statement found on missionstatements.com is clearly reflected on their official website. They provide an extensive outline of the school’s goals for their students, and proudly describe how the six fundamental goals differentiate their school from others.
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
The mission statement and values of Holy Family University exhibit many essential principles to both the administration and the world around us. These values, including family, respect, integrity, service and responsibility, learning, and vision can have a strong impact on the student body and our community. Students attending Holy Family can gain a full understanding of the fundamentals which contribute to the core values and the school itself. At least one of these core values can help you overcome a problem you may stumble upon from day to day. This can include helping another peer in one way or another in the classroom, showing respect to your professors and peers, and even taking part in the presidential election outside of school.
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.
Understanding and embracing Millsaps University's core values is fundamental to my desire to be part of this University. The university's commitment to excellent leadership and a passion for social justice align with my personal beliefs. I am excited about being part of a community that shares a commitment to making a positive impact on the world through education and service. Millsaps University serves as the ideal college for my career
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.
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
I feel the best way to accomplish this goal is to attend an institution like Messiah where the school’s mission and philosophy focus on growing their students in the areas of leadership, service, character, and intellect. I felt that God was calling me to take a huge risk this summer by spending a week on a mission trip in Haiti. Even though this was a risk, this experience taught me how to become more independent and how one person can make changes that can impact others.
To add more emphasis a Latin phrase, Cura Personalis, “care for the whole self”, allows us to have deep respect for diversity and difference with an emphasis on holistic care for the mind, body, and spirit. Cura Personalis sums up what it means to receive a Jesuit education. talks help human excellence, and how it allows me to open myself up more to spirituality, to openness to growth, and to be loved by God no matter what faith background I believe in. It allowed me to transform into my full potential as a whole new person. My conscience and emotions drastically changed.
