Life Mission Statement My ultimate life mission is to be able to say that I’ve accomplished or fulfilled God 's purpose for my life here on earth.
What am I about?
I am about love and forgiveness. "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32). At a young age, my father instilled in me the power of love and forgiveness; he taught these things in word and also through his actions.
What are the character qualities I would like to emulate?
I would like to emulate humility, patience, and self-control. I fall short in these areas and I hope to fully possess these qualities in the future. What legacy do I want to leave?
I hope to inspire others to love and be kind to not only

From then on, I’ve received nothing below an A+ in mathematics, including college algebra. It is of great worth when I am able to return the kindness shown to me at a young age to others.
What do I consider to be my most important future contribution to others?
My most important future contribution to others would be to show them the love of God; to show them how valuable they are in the eyes of Christ. I know and believe that a lot of individuals suffer from low-self esteem. The media has warped the true definition of beauty in the eyes of many. The unrealistic and unattainable images of people portrayed on the cover of magazines, in movies, and on television all around us have become the “standard” of beauty. I believe that my great contribution to others is to help them see beneficial they are in the

I have a talent for things that require me to be creative. Around the age of eight, I became a self-taught hairstylist. My mother was unable to do my hair the way I wanted so I began to do it myself. At the age of thirteen, I taught myself how to play the drums. At the time, our church lacked a drummer in the worship team so I decided to teach myself how to play.
Apart from playing the drums, I also played the violin and acoustic guitar. In 2010, when I was unexpectedly blessed with a professional camera, I instructed myself in the art of photography and photo-editing. I also believe that I am talented in encouraging/advising others.
Are there things I feel I really would do even though I might have dismissed such thoughts many times before for various reasons? What are they?
I would have to say yes. There are so many things that I wish that I could do despite the fact that they seem unrealistic. I’ve always wanted to quit my job, move to California, and travel the world encouraging and photographing every moment of it. The only thing stopping me from doing so is my fear of failure and poverty. I have dismissed the thought of quitting my job to create full-time because I also want to be financially stable and secure enough to be able to generously provide for myself and my future
I consider myself a driven, honest, hardworking, compassionate, and dedicated individual. I love to learn, to work, to improve, and most of all to help others. My life goal is to positively impact the lives of others and furthermore the community. While I can not predict how exactly I will do this I start by treating others well, helping out where help is needed, and dedicating myself to my education where I will expand my knowledge and acquire new skills.
A characteristic I chose was generosity. I chose this because it's super important to my mom and dads families. We lived in a community where giving is greater than keeping for ourself. My family has passed down generation's by generation to give away the first thing they ever make for the first time away to someone. Now they give away anything to people new to old or foods clothes and anything to anybody.
Where I learned how to become a leader through the leadership ensemble within the marching band. Where in my senior and fourth year of marching competitively, I became the Drum Major, and earned the Best Drum Major Award at the Roxbury Marching Band Classic Competition. From marching band I progressed into jazz music, where I became the lead alto saxophonist in the top jazz band at my school during my junior and senior year. I was also one of three saxophonists in the top band at my school. I picked up the clarinet, the flute, and the soprano saxophone on my way through high school, and have played all three as well in my performing ensembles. I played in the pit orchestra of the theater production of “All Shook Up”, and was the principal saxophonist at my high school. Too be short, I am very involved in all things music in the past and currently. Band and music have been a place for me to rely on, something that brings me joy when sad. Allows me to express myself through sounds and through instruments. It is truly a talent and a hobby that I hope to continue through college and through life because of the joy it brought me and creative outlet it was throughout my

From small stick figures, to cartoon characters, to more realistic anatomy and detailed work. This only happened because of my dedication and constant practice with a pencil and paper. Though I do not consider myself the best artist, I became proud of my growth and motivation that branched out to other aspects of my life. This habit of practicing led me to take challenging courses and pursue other passions, like music. Though music seems a little minor in my life, it runs through the family, and I could never be where I am without the practice time I put in both my passions. The small details I picked up from them have helped me immensely in school. From motivation to not give up and the extra effort to understand the material, I created a process of how to do things, and I found myself grateful for the times where I felt lost, and found my way back. Through art, I found my sense of self and the motivation to excel and challenge myself in everything I
God has created me with a specific purpose and with God’s help I know I can discover my true calling. Every one of us has three specific callings:
Having a relationship with people is more important to me than just doing the work. Doing something for someone or helping with something and also doing missionary work I will ask people to join to accomplish the goal together and to have the best possible outcomes as a group instead of an individual.
...t I want people to be changed by the ways that I have shared my spiritual gifts and Christ's love. I may not speak in tongues or be a teacher, but I can teach through my actions and words and exercise my gifts by showing genuine concern for people. In my short-lived career, I have recognized the truth in an important concept taught in Acts. That is, those who aren't supported by God fail. Judas was an example of his failure to God due to going against God's law. Acts serves to show that many people fall into temptations. I have learned that many people currently lose their jobs or families as a result--all because of one mistake. As a Christian, I want to stress the importance, in not falling into temptations, to other people. In my career and every other area of life, I want to continue pursuing Christ through the trials and tribulations, as well as the good times.
A few characteristics that I find admiring about myself and individuals that I associate myself with is being active because time never waits for no one, second aspiring other to do better, third being confident in yourself because an individual that think positive have a positive outlook and last is disciplined because sometime you have to be humble and work for that moment that will change your life forever. The undesirable characteristics that stop me from talking to individuals are belligerent, big headed, aggressive, impatient, nasty, and patronizing. I knew so many people like this but I had to cut them off because I knew individual with these characteristics do not amount to nothing in life. For example, a few of my high school classmates with these futures are in jell or dead. This made me apprehend that I only have one chance to make everyone I care about contented. The only way to do that is to make more money because like I said at the beginning my family and I was not the richest people on the block. Richness is at the top of my value list, people may say money is not everything and that is true but it will help cause less stress on my family and that is just reality. Then I would have family as my second most important and last
The purpose and meaning of my life is…to fulfill my life as a child of God. I have always been a religious person. My decisions and actions are guided by a moral compass and by the Ten Commandments. I believe in an ultimate and absolute truth that governs all humans. This is my meaningful philosophy of life that has been encouraged by my parents. After being confirmed, I took it upon myself to try to make this philosophy more guided by my own internal beliefs, and less to do with my parent’s expectations. I traveled on some youth retreats to find the center of my beliefs, and God guided me to answers. I now hold and can defend my beliefs and morals very close to my heart.
...rvice. After three more WorldChangers trips, this passion to be a servant to others has grown to have a deep effect on my work ethic, influencing me to do the best job I can when helping others in order to show God’s love to the fullest. As John Hope Franklin claimed, “I would use my energies to make me a better person.” With the wisdom acquired from experiences like WorldChangers and from fellow brothers-in-Christ like various youth pastors, I’ve gained a purpose behind the efforts put into my hard work.
What is my personal purpose? Is a question that I have never thought to ask myself until recently. Then when I started learning more about a personal purpose I started wondering if I have one and what it was. I never thought of myself has having a real purpose until a watched an interview Will Smith had did and he had said “When your life means something to someone other than yourself than you have a purpose.” That is when I realized that I have a purpose. My purpose is that I am the hug that let others know it is going to be ok. My personal goals is to be genuinely happy with myself and life and to make my parents proud, my career goal is to own my own business and being successful at doing so, finally, my educational goal is to get my bachelors degree and grauate with honors and even moving on to getting my masters. Having goals is important to me because I know that while I am in the process of accomplishing them I will have something great to look forward to in the end.
My mission is to live each day positively in God’s eyes, honestly and passionately so that every day I am one step closer to reaching my dreams and helping others believe in theirs. I will be committed to inspiring others to be more than they think that they can be and I will be a continual learner committed to excellence in all aspects of life.

The many principles that my parents have taught me is to be outgoing, but most importantly an educated person, for allowing me to become what I am today, a respectful mature young lady.
