“If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend the first four hours sharpening the axe.” I would agree, Wouldn't you? One of the first things we would have to reflect, is what is he targeting. Primarily, I think he is trying to tell us that we cannot jump right to a task without preparing our supplies first. In life, we cannot jump into a profession without first being educated to the minimum ideal. At Christendom, the rigorous and challenging academic curriculum sets every student up for way more than just that ideal. The Experience Christendom Program, which I attended in July 2016, strengthened my love and appreciation for philosophers like Plato, Socrates, and St. Thomas Aquinas. I have read some of each of their writings, and took an …show more content…

They all know that they are challenged, and by accepting the challenges of the curriculum, they have self-motivation and “dare to be great” academically. All of this appeals to me very much. I know that if I attended Christendom College, I would definitely put my greatest effort into my studies. Along with the academics, I would hope to participate in clubs, sports, intramurals, and the Student Activities Council. Here at home, I am on the leadership team for the youth ministry at my church, where we plan events for the youth of the church. I am also a part of the leadership team for the Archdiocese Youth Advisory Council (AYAC). AYAC is a group of high school students from parishes around the archdiocese who volunteer to plan events for the youth of the entire archdiocese, as well as give eachother updates on what has been going on in each parish. In the summer of 2015, I attended the High School Leadership Institute (High-Li) of the Archdiocese of Baltimore. High-Li is an eight day intensive training to be a leader in today’s world. We learned how to work with different kinds of people, facilitate small groups, plan events, and public

Mission & Vision. The Oho Christian University Mission Statements states, “Oho Christian University prepares students to serve effectively in the church and society by providing a holistic, Christ-centered, biblically integrated education in the Wesleyan tradition (“OCU”, 2017).” Although, the mission statement is a wonderful goal, as a prospective student it may be difficult to understand and digest the meaning until they become a student.

Arizona Christian University (ACU) is a private 4-year institution that is devoted to creating leaders who can produce an impact on the world with the gospel (God’s word). Len Munsil, the President of ACU and author of the book “Transforming Culture with Truth”, mentions in his book that “we have forgotten who we are.” (Munsil 2) Which leads to the question, who are we supposed to be? ACU’s mission is “to provide a biblically integrated education that prepares its graduates to serve the Lord Jesus Christ in ministries and professional occupations.” (Munsil 50)

A leader is able to gain an audience’s attention because of their personality, morality, and how they hold themself. It is important for a leader to be organized, compassionate, able to compromise but also be firm on what they believe, and be a person who people look up to and aspire to be. I was part of an organization called National Charity League and this organization helped grow women’s confidence, public speaking skills, time management, and organizational skills. Each month, each class holds meetings to plan and discuss projects that follow the class’s focuses. This past year Class of 2023 philanthropic focus is children, cultural focus is international food, and for leadership we are focusing on self care and reflecting on the NCL experience.

The presence of advertisements in society influence people into buying, supporting, and inclusively stir them to take action towards a certain object or cause. Among many advertisements that exists, the use of logos, ethos, and pathos exists in order to achieve their purpose. In the advertisement that I chose to analyze the use of logos by the creator creates an amazing impact. Facts such as “one out of every three girls will be sexually assaulted” and “1 out of 7 children are abused” obtains the audience’s attention since such facts cause a shock value among majority of the people. With such surprising sentences the designer is seeking for people to take action and this is mostly seen when the last line of the advertisement is “you can’t afford to ignore it.”

Being a part of the Nation Ford Marching band and allocating a great deal of time to an activity played a large role in my growing leadership capabilities. During the first semester of my sophomore year, I was selected to become a mentor for the freshman class of 2026. After previously participating in drum major workshops to support my interest in becoming a stronger leader, I was able to apply the lessons I learned to a real environment. Having the privilege of being a mentor for my section allowed me to gain more confidence by helping others. I found myself enjoying the long, scorching practices because I was happy to be aiding the growth of others- those that needed the confidence I needed during my first year of marching band.

By volunteering at my local church and helping with local service projects, I have realized the commitment and perseverance it takes to lead by example. At my local church I continue to help with the organization of my youth group. After speaking at church staff meetings for several months we made it our goal to improve the youth group by ensuring that children and teens of all ages were included and had an opportunity to participate. I was able to create a system where teens who attended high school were paired with a middle school individual of the church. This provided a sense of inclusiveness and made the youth group more enjoyable for everyone.

It is sometimes overwhelming to think that I will be entering the workforce in only a few short years. Yet, I do not feel that I will have a problem obtaining a job within the first six months of graduation. With the current economic situation, I believe that I have a very good possibility of obtaining a job. Currently, unemployment is low, there are a lot of jobs open, houses are affordable, and gas prices are fairly low. Taking these things into account, it would not be too difficult for me to move for a job, find somewhere to live and pay for the gas to get to and from work.
