Simpson University Personal Statement

Simpson University I am proud to say I am an honor student at Western Sierra Collegiate Academy and I am very involved with both school and church. When I was younger my teachers always thought I was stupid or mentally ill since I had trouble learning. When I transferred to Western Sierra Collegiate Academy in 7th grade I started to excel in my subjects by getting the help I needed from kind teachers at school. By the time I entered my early years as a high school student I became an honor student and became very involved with school. Although I have been excelling in school I still struggle with Math and Physics, but I am slowly improving.

I also love being involved in school and have participated in multiple groups such as: Running Club, WSCA Newspaper, Multicultural Group, and Leo Club. I recently got the position of Public Relation’s Manager for my school’s local Leo Club and I am still currently involved in the Multicultural Group at my school. I feel that if I am accepted into Simpson University I will be able to thrive not only educationally but also spiritually.

I realized that after so many years of questioning and sometimes being frustrated with God that he gave me all the right tools and people I needed to understand him, but it was my fault for not willing to actually listen or pay attention to him. As a young teenage girl I was always focused on keeping up my good grades, having the perfect outfit for school, and helping out at church. Little did I realize that God and I did not have a close relationship. When I entered my first year of high school I decided to go deeper into ministry by helping out in the Worship team’s soundboard because of the lack of helpers at the church. As I entered deeper into ministry my understanding of Christ began to grow and I began to help out in both the Worship department and the Youth department. The more I began learning about Christ the more different I started to become. At first I thought I was changing for the worst, because it was getting harder to talk to my friends, I did not enjoy the things my friends thought were funny, and I
