Personal Narrative: Freed Hardeman

441 Words1 Page

Ever since I can remember I have been going to “Flint Hills Christian Camp,” where I have been a camper and a junior counselor. I love being able to interact with the kids and teach them more about God. Camp to me is a second home--I love being able to go there and see all my brothers and sisters in Christ. I have been wanting to go to Freed Hardeman ever since I can remember. When I went on the tour for the first time I became determined to do everything I could to be a part of Freed Hardeman. I was raised up in the Church of Christ by two strong Christian parents and I want to keep strengthening my relationship with God. God has always been a key part of all my decisions, and I know that God is leading me to Freed Hardeman. I understand …show more content…

Including a year in jazz band, six years in marching band and eight years in concert band. The band program has taught me hard work, dedication, and teamwork is the empowering force that can lift one out of mediocrity, to being fourth in the state. I want to be able to take what those years taught me and use it to help me further my education, and to bring up my test scores. Some of my weaknesses are procrastination and impatience, but I am taking proactive measures to resolve these issues. I have started putting reminders on my phone that helps me to remember when I need to start working. This will also help me keep my time spread out so that way if I get impatient with my computer or I can’t think of anything then I have time to take a break and think. Some of my strengths are my determination, my easy going nature and getting along with other people. (Even when no one else seems to get along with that person.) I also try to keep a positive attitude whenever times are getting stressful and it seems impossible to get what needs to be done accomplished. I believe that Freed Hardeman is the best choice to help me achieve my goals. I would be a great addition to Freed Hardeman, because I have a positive attitude and I have the dedication of Ruth the courage of Esther and the example of

  • Personal Strengths and Weaknesses

    928 Words  | 2 Pages

    Personal strengths and weaknesses determine how an individual will perform in their careers and lives. Clifton and Nelson (2010), defines strengths as “things that one does well” (p. 42). Strengths are traits of a person’s performance or views that result in personal gratification and reward. Effective leaders should strive to develop their personal strengths. Strengths can be drawn from things that an individual currently excels at or those from the past. Weaknesses on the other hand, are things that result in lessened productivity. Good leaders are able to identify both strengths and weaknesses and utilize them to become more effective at their profession (Clifton & Nelson, 2010). According Hodges and Clifton (2004) “it’s best to focus on strengths rather than on weaknesses and changing the therapeutic paradigm to focus on helping others to excel in a few areas rather than becoming average in many” (p. 258). Understanding ones strengths and weaknesses can be stressful. However, strength comes from honesty, meaning it is important to identify your weakness. Again, it is important to know where your strength lies and how capable and competent you are.

    My strengths would be extraversion and conscientiousness. I definitely find my extraversion as a strength, because it helps me network with ease. Also, it is a strength because some research has revealed that extraversion has some impact on academic performance, and is likely due to higher rates of extraverts participating actively in class (Dumfart & Neubauer, 2016). My other strength, conscientiousness, is valued for being a major predictor of positive academic performance. School is the most important thing to me other than my family, and my conscientiousness really comes into play is regards of my school work. I find myself to have a strong drive for achievement, and I possess the self-discipline that’s necessary for me to flourish. For example, in high-school I would study so diligently and thoroughly that I had straight A’s for almost three years

  • My Experience: My Journey To Johnson Bible College

    When you are six years old, you do not have much say in what you do and where you go. This was especially the case when my parents decided to take a group of high school seniors to Johnson Bible College for a preview weekend. There was no question that my little sister and I would be tagging along. Honestly, I do not remember much of the journey down there or what all we did. But I did fall head over heels in love with the Johnson campus. I knew that was where I wanted to be. A few years later, my parents still being the full time youth ministers at my church, we packed the camper up and headed to Wonder Valley Christian camp to work a senior week. It was that week that I really started to learn more about Johnson. At ten years old, I was so excited to hear about the campus and classes from the visiting camp team that was there. I could really tell that God was

  • Strengths And Weaknesses Essay Examples

    I have never really had much confidence in most of the things I do, although I have gotten better at it. It usually does not affect me that much, since I do not think I can never succeed, but I expect me to not do so well, but hope that I still somehow manage to do well. Even though I do not have much confidence, I still try to put my best effort in my work. I am very determined to do my work and achieve my goals, and I strive to get good grades. Having low confidence and still being determined and doing my best might sound conflicting and confusing, because it is. However it can be simply rephrased as even though I expect to not do well, I still try my best anyway, and let the outcome be the outcome. So in a way, those strengths and weaknesses cancel eachother out. Another weakness I have is anxiety and stress. I stress and worry a lot, and even though I try to not let it get to me, it usually does. Most often I panic, which does not lead me to a better state, and I get overwhelmed more easily than others. Along with regular stress, I have social anxiety. I am timid and slightly shy, and I do not like large groups of people I do not know, which is why I have not gone to the student store unless I was accompanying a friend that was purchasing something. I think my greatest strength is that I can quickly learn or understand subjects and topics quickly. Although I may learn something quickly, I most
