Personal Narrative: My Job At ITS

Improved Essays
I had three things. A job at ITS, I was vice-president of the Association of Latin American Students(ALAS), and my girlfriend of two years was finally going to come to Point Loma. I was on top of the world. Student System/Network Administrator. The job in ITS was the highest position and paying job that a student can obtain on campus. I acquired this position through my sister, but my hard work and ease in learning new things helped me keep it.
With ALAS, I was voted in as the co-vice president. The election came down between a friend and I; Although I barely won, it was evident that I thought of as more qualified for the position among our peers. Anyways this was a worthy cause. I prayed for days asking God if I made the right decision to run. And I heard yes. So, if God wanted me to be in the position and my peers wanted me – it was basically no competition.
Who wouldn’t want to date me at this point. Bright future, good job, and a prominent position in a club. In my eyes, I was a catch. My girlfriend(Cesia) was finally coming to

I did not want to return to school because I saw no point in it. It my lowest point, God surrounded me with friends and loved ones. I struggled for a year and a half with alienation. But as I opened myself more to my friends I noticed the community that was ready to accept me for who I am.
The first snapshot I witnessed was during Encuentro 2016 in the Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. The summer before this God rally affirmed the calling he gave me to lead his sheep (John 21). The semester when everything was stripped away I lost sight of this, but in Encuentro I was reminded. The high school students that were in my group really helped me find joy again in life. During the last night I testified in my life what the weekend did for me and thanked friends for being there for me last semester. This snapshot reminded me that in the Kingdom of Heaven, there is no sorrow, but only

    Shearer.session1.journal I have had a lot of experiences that have shaped my life over the last five years of my life. The first I would have to say is my rededication to Christ and then the call to the ministry. To start with the rededication of my life to Christ, it was shortly after my separation and I went through a period of time lost and without purpose. My parents had been trying to get me to start going to church again and I was hesitant at first. Soon after starting back to church I was drawn by the Lord to rededicate my life and started to change a lot of things about myself in that time.…

What I did find though surprisingly did not surprise me .…

    There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude.

Growing up in the church was a normal thing for me since I was basically "born and raised in the pew" but for me to actually start living a truly Christian life was the task at hand for me. Years went by with our apostle Dr. Walter Boston and I always wondered "why?" Why did I have to come to church?…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…
