Personal Narrative: My Relationship At Liberty University

Last year was my first year as a college student. After much anticipation, I was finally starting my university career and studying what I wanted. Classes started and everything was okay, but deep down I knew I wanted to study away from home. When graduating high school I had decided to stay, thinking it was the smartest decision since going to college is not the easiest transition and adding going to another country would have been too much for me. But two weeks into my first semester I decided to start my research.

My personal faith grows daily by my choice to follow my love and savior, Jesus, every day I wake up. It was by no accident that God showed me Liberty University, and has now become a top option in my choices of colleges. I believe in the deep mission Liberty University has to develop Christ-centered believers because it is the same mission I strive to live out daily in my walk as a follower of Christ. My season of life will not always be the same as someone else's, but I pray that what I have walked through and what God taught me in those seasons can give perspective to others. I have grown up always knowing God but not until my sophomore year in high school did I truly start to live that out. I took two opportunities in the past two years

My core beliefs were molded through education and experiences but are grounded in God's word.  When I read the core values of Liberty University they aligned with mine.  I believe in the Trinity and I know the world is a sinful place and so are the people who live in it, "yes this includes me".  Understanding this, I am grateful that God is perfect and my judge who sent his only son to die for my sins so I can enter into heaven.  Armed with this knowledge I know my purpose and calling until that day comes.  See my calling in life was in law enforcement but my purpose on earth is to spread the gospel and this can be done in many areas of my life.  Through my personal relationship with Jesus I will continue to love other and be the hands and

During my two last years of high school, i've been in contact with a lot of colleges and universities. Many of which don’t get my attention. Throughout my whole high school years, there was only one college that i wanted to go to, Liberty University. I have heard so many wonderful things about Liberty and what i loved the most was that it was a christian school. Liberty had the number one thing that i am looking for in a college, that is a christian school, but many of my other things that i look for in a college where just not there. I used to live in Florida approximately 11 years ago and let me tell you, it's hard not to miss the sunshine state. Liberty is in Virginia, a state where it doesn't feel like home. When i received a brochure

East Carolina University is and has always been a dream school for many students including myself. I have grown up hearing about the University and it is nothing short of spectacular. Many family members of mine have attended East Carolina, and I have always pictured myself at this school. It would be an honor to be a pirate. Throughout high school I have struggled in Science and Math. I know I could have done better in high school but in life you can always do something better, im eager to push myself more and work harder than ever to succeed as an adult, if given the chance There are many times when I should I have put school in front of my extra curricular activities such as dancing, art, work, tennis, and swimming. However, all of those

Before coming to James Madison University I had no clue what I wanted to get involved in. Whether it was a club sport, business related group, or a social fraternity I just wanted to be apart of something that was bigger than myself. At the beginning of the school year I looked into tryouts for club baseball, the Madison Investment Fund and rush schedules for fraternities on campus. I quickly found out that club baseball wasn’t for me, at least for my freshman year. I then asked around about MIF and got the sense that you needed a very heavy Economics background and that it was very challenging to be accepted as a freshman. MIF is something I hope to get involved in next fall. In the back of my head I always knew that a social fraternity was what

When I think about what I could contribute to Florida A&M University based on the knowledge that I do have with your institution is that i’m a extremely committed student who has beliefs that you can do anything that you set your mind to. There may be some times when I may feel discouraged but why must if I feel like that if things aren’t easily handed to you. You must chase your dreams, and when you do that things will slowly fall into place (not exactly how you planned for it to be at times). I learned that through the many obstacles I had to experience to make me the well informed women I am today. The best activity, interest, experience, and achievement in my life was being a Big member of “Big brother, big sister”. Becoming a mentor for

In my last two years of highschool I duel enrolled St. Petersburg Community College, my local community college. In my senior year I decided to take online classes due to the very long drive to the nearest campus. I ended up taking Calculus with Analytic Geometry and two other classes online. My Calculus proffessor did not teach or provide any materiel to learn from other than the text book and homework questions. For the first quarter of the class I did well and completed all the assignments easily; however, the class got harder and the textbook no longer provided me with enough information to complete the assignments. I struggled through this part of the class and had a hard time mainting my grade which I wanted to keep as high as possible. After several trips to the campus for tutoring and spending hours trying to find other external resources I began to learn how to solve the problems and brought my grade back up and finally passed the class with an A.

Coming to Virginia Commonwealth University with a major in social work has been one of the best things I have done in the year of 2016. I can remember awaiting my acceptance into Virginia Commonwealth University and instantly choosing to attend. For the remainder of my senior year of high school, I couldn’t wait to pack up and leave for VCU. Before I knew it, it was August 20, 2016, move-in day. Aside from leaving my parents and hometown, I was a bit upset about having to quit my job, the anxiety of being a broke college student hit me before I even stepped on campus. On move in day I was a bit anxious and a little nervous to leave my parents but at the same time I was ready to leave and explore something new on my own.

I’m sitting in class and I have 10 minutes left, then the worst thing happens. Then my stomach makes that loud growing noise. Everyone looks at me, I you hide your stomach and cover my face because it was that loud. Once I get out of class I just want to eat Panera, but all I can choose from is subway and the little noodle place. How nice would it be if I could just walk down the hallway and get some warm soup and sandwiches?

Finding a interesting topic to write about, is challenge on Louisiana College’s campus, but with a little patience and observation, unique stories are scattered amongst the staff and student body. It didn’t take me long to wander into the student center to find a story or interview that would spark my interest. Walking down the hall I approached one of the most important offices on campus. No, it’s not the president’s office, but the Nurse’s office which I’ve seen many times. I had a feeling that this place would be full of stories and experiences that would give me the interview that I needed to boost my grade. I wanted to do an interview about something that I care about and is important to shed light on. I thought about how I often forget one of the most important things in my life, which is health and the people who work to keep us healthy.

they believe their application would be incomplete without it. If this sounds like you, then please

An experience I have went through in my life that will most likely influence my academic work and goals at Colorado Christian University would be getting married, having a baby, and getting a divorce at the age of twenty-one. This can be a big affect on anyone, not just me in particular. It made me realize it is time to grow up and be responsible for the sake of my daughter. Going through this at such a young age has really showed me to appreciate life. I didn't take much into consideration about rushing into a marriage and getting pregnant shortly after. With that, I also didn't have the approval of my parents,which led to causing many family disputes. I still to this day do not have that father/daughter relationship that I use to have. Now going through this divorce and becoming a single mom I

My academic work and goals at Colorado Christian University will be influenced by the event of my repentance and surrendering of my life to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Though I grew up in a church setting and raised a “saved” young man, for I ask Jesus into my heart at 5 years old. I didn’t truly believe Jesus to be my Lord, nor really did I begin to surrender everything until June 29, 2011. My story is a glamorous one. It didn’t happen at a alter call, although afterwards I went up many times for wisdom and discernment. I was watching a television show that was as far from godly as you can imagine with my family. During a scene a character said that God actually made vampires in God’s image. The Holy Spirit spoke to me that instant and I shouted at the t.v. “that’s a lie!” My girls, Kaitlyn and Lauryn,

When I was in high school, school was not at the top of my priority list. I was an average B/C student, with the occasional D. My parents were going through a very rough divorce which took a very strong toll on me. I graduated high school with a 2.37 GPA. I was, by some miracle, accepted into Eastern Michigan University. Starting my freshman year there I knew I needed to change my mentality towards learning and actually initiate an effort. My first semester I finished with a 3.90 GPA, making the Dean's List, something I haven’t accomplished before. During my second semester a very close family friend committed suicide. I took two weeks off to be back home with my family during the hard times. Sadly, I let my GPA fall slightly to a 3.70. However, I still made Dean's List and was infatuated with happiness. I finished my freshman year of college with a cumulative GPA of 3.80
