The reason why I want to join Year Up is that I feel that it will give me the guidance I need to further my self for the future. I believe that Year Up is a good program for me and my peers. The reason why I believe it is a good program is because it was founded to give youth the skills an training they need. To achieve there personal goals and to be confident in furthering there education. I am a good candidate for Year Up because I have many personal values that will contribute to the Year Up program.
The members of my church community have provided me with the support and encouragement to achieve my goals. In addition, my peers in the church community through their hard work and successes have encouraged me to pursue my own goals. They have served as role models for me and I hope that I can serve as a role model for the next generation. Being involved in both my school and church communities has stimulated my academic and personal growth by the presence of role models in the community, the high expectations, and the encouragement that I received as a part of both. I have become a better student, a better thinker, a better leader, and a more mature
Moreover, the most important part of my personal philosophy is my faith. I believe God created us with special gifts and purpose. I have known one of my gifts since I was a child, the gift of serving others, but I have recently incorporated that gift with my purpose in life, which is to serve God. In my future practice as a nurse I would like to incorporate these beliefs and values that have made me who I am today. I once read the definition of Christian nursing written in the book Called to Care, “Christian nursing is defined as a ministry of compassionate care for the whole person, in
God wants the leader to be obedient because he knows what is best for him. He also wants the leader to live a good life of obedience, holiness and purity. Obeying God’s commands points to the shape of a leader’s life as a whole, to the consistency of that leaders. He must strive to personify God’s love and character. [1] Joshua Principle: Great leaders must possess characteristics of courage and faith and show leadership abilities.
We watch our family around us and see the importance of being loyal to ourselves and our families. This begins how each of us perceives loyalty in our future relationships. We meet people in life and friendships are created between some of them. We will have a certain loyalty within these friendships. Based upon one’s upbringing, we believe that we will do anything to help and protect a true friendship from harm or misguidance.
I also need to develop mutually supportive relationships that could help me recognize that life is richer when giving to and receiving from others. After learning all that I learned in Convocation the next thing is to apply what I’ve learned. So now I have to make sure I have applied self-management so that I can accept responsibility for choosing and creating my life. Then discipline myself so that I can pursue my goal for the future. Hopefully in the future I will become a successful doctor.
This is a big motivation for me every day. I know that everything that I do, every decision that I make, must not jeopardize me and my family’s safety needs. After making sure physiological and safety needs are met, Maslow’s pyramid of needs shows that love and belonging needs must be met. Family and friends provide this love and belonging need. My family and friends make me feel supported as an individual.
I am also a social person who easily bonds with people around me. I am warm and therefore I easily create friendship with people that I encounter so I find my relation with them smooth all the time. People will always want to associate with someone who is social fir they believe that they will benefit from what the person possesses and in the long run they will also get to learn new concepts. In every task that I undertake, I am always hard working for I believe in giving my best in all that I do. This has earned me respect from my peers and superiors for I give my full commitment and dedication to my work.
I tend to naturally take lead and run with projects successfully, my gift of administration allows me to do this and do a good job. I have to remember that I can bring ideas and be part of the team but most likely my husband who works there now will lead the project again. The evangelism gift is precious but I have to remember to be patient and not rush people into making a decision about Jesus, but to show them how worthy He is, His love for them. PART THREE: What were
Looking 20-30 years in the future, and ponder the person I want to become– how will I treat others, and what successes I want revel in. 20-30 years in the future, is a long ways away. I have no idea what I will become, albeit, I can control the person I am to get there. God will defiantly challenge me, but I have to conquer those challenges and show him more of what I can do for him and others: care for them, show honesty, and compassion. I believe this is why He called to me, to become this person in His image.
