After realizing my purpose and acknowledging my God-given talent, I have developed a personal mission. I have developed a personal belief that it is my mission to directly interact with young, inner city, underprivileged children living in poverty. With saying this I vow: To always conduct myself in a respectable and caring manner. Throughout my life, every child that I encounter I will treat with respect, care, and love. I will always maintain my dignity, no matter the situation or circumstance that I am presented with. I will always carry myself as an adult that understands young children idolize us. I will treat every child as I treat my own children. I will treat and understand that every child is an individual, one that possess different talents, perspectives, and a thought process different from others. I will protect all children that is under my care and put myself in harm’s way before I allow them to face harm. I will be loyal, to keep my word, and show that I am accountable.

It was a guideline to help me be able to develop a life vision. So what is my life vision? My life vision is: To consistently keep growing and developing my character every day that I am blessed to live life. I want to live forever. I understand that as a human we all must die, but I want to be granted everlasting life. Not in human form but in my spirit. For example, people like Martin Luther King Jr, Abraham Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Jesus Christ all still live here in the world amongst us. Not in human form but by their spirit. The things that they did when they were alive, how they treated the next person, the values that they lived by, and Jesus Christ even died on a cross to pay for all of our sins today. This is how I will live my life. I will treat my neighbor with love and respect. I plan to implement the things that I learned in time management for Christian Stewardship, the biblical basis for vocation, personalities and developments, and Covey’s seven habits for highly effective people into my every day life. I am going to be a good steward to my gift, and my circle of influence and teach them life lessons. Lessons such as, there is no such thing as a life that’s better than yours. For example, there is always going to be another car better than the one you have. But, as long as the people inside of it love you dearly, you will still have a home. There will always be

    Being a student at Queen’s University taught me that the opportunities we seek out teach us about our character and more importantly, about our passions in life; they help us to define our goals and will lead us to be successful. I have been fortunate to gain valuable experience as a Queen’s student, orphanage volunteer, and drop in center volunteer. My experiences shaped my understanding of teaching and learning processes as I learned the valuable qualities that are exhibited by successful educators that establish supportive learning environments for their students. While working in Romanian orphanages this past summer, I learned how each child presents their own challenges as they learn, and communicate differently. In a short time with a great deal of patience and dedication I learned enough of the language as I led games, bible studies, and helped children with conflict resolution.…

    Delving into the Old Testament and learning about the sacrificial offerings that occurred in the temples of old opened my eyes to their symbolism and direct relation to Christ. I loved how they each were significant in keeping God’s people close to Him. We are fallen beings, but if we do as He commands, we’ll be able to stay on the path. The burnt offerings compensated for sins of commission, the offerings of purification for sins of omission, grain offerings for tribute, fellowship offerings for peace and guilt offering for reparation. All of the steps, though different now, still point us to Christ.…
