I believe I will fit in perfectly at Calvin, because my goal is to put God first. Putting God first, for me, mainly means enthusiasm: enthusiasm for God, enthusiasm for life and learning, and enthusiasm for others. Colossians 3:23 says, “Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than men.” I try my best to live by this statement daily, no matter where I am or what mood I am in.

I am very excited to experience chapel at Calvin, and I plan to be a part of both bible studies and mission events. Enthusiasm for God also means that I try to obey all His commandments, not because works can save me, but because of my love for God. In this way, I will not only be a benefit …show more content…
I am also a joyful person. I have an enthusiasm for life because of the love that Jesus showed me, and the purpose He has for me. I know that every day I am alive because there is something God still wants me to do in the world, and so I try to live each day to its fullest. This not only applies to community life, but also to academics.

I have a great passion for learning, and I bring my enthusiasm with me into the classroom. I enjoy school very much, especially my science classes where I can learn how everything in the world works. God’s creation is so amazing, and studying it shows me how great He is. All that to say, when others might complain and slack off, I am actually excited to be going to college, and I will put all my effort into learning. As a responsible and hard-working student, I would make a great addition to the student body of

Until only recently I didn't know why I pushed myself as hard as I have in school, but now I understand it is because I truly love learning.
