Statement Of Purpose: Furman University

Improved Essays
Hopefully I am a little taller than five foot ten inches and have more facial hair than now. I’ve heard people say that college has the ability to change individuals, some for the good, others for the bad. Furman University offers a variety of subjects and extracurricular activities that show true identity. I am planning on devoting much of my time to football, but, the academic experience is the most important thing to me. Internships, volunteering, athletics, relationships and academics are all things that I hope to conquer at my time at Furman, but the one I am most looking forward to is the relationships.

    I am interested in attending The Catholic University of America because it has a fantastic academic, proximity to internships and jobs, and a Catholic identity and community. Becoming a student of Catholic means that I am going to receive a first-class education from professors that genuinely care about their students. Moreover, having a low student-faculty ratio also fascinates me because it indicates that faculty members can spend more time working individually with students. This will allow professors to distinguish my capabilities and will also be a great feeling and even an advantage to me as they are the ones that can get me in connection with people when I branch off into my career. Thus, I have high hopes of having a phenomenal educational…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…
