I was born and raised in the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area. I come from a middle-class family and have two brothers and one sister. Growing up, my parents made great personal and financial sacrifices and took on expensive loans for my high school education. For this I am forever indebted and extremely grateful. I truly believe the importance placed on my education along with the quality of schooling has greatly shaped the person I am today. Some simple adjectives I would use to describe myself in a work environment include hard-working, dedicated, resilient, driven, and detail-oriented. I often give careful consideration to tasks-at-hand and prefer to weigh the merits of different approaches before presenting my conclusions and solutions. Similarly, in my personal life I am conscious of my actions and their greater effect on those around me. I consider myself to be a moderately spiritual and religious person. I believe in God. I am a Roman Catholic and try to follow the teachings of the Church. My belief is a personal choice, and I use it as a moral guid...
My life started in the womb of a young, loving mother with an equally young, loving father. I was born in Clark County, Indiana. Even when I was young, my family was huge on education. My grandfather especially helped form my yearning for knowledge. He would play educational games with me from popping balloons if I chose the correct color to giving me candy if a counted the correct number in his hand. Of course, my other family members helped as well, but his constant care and insistence ingrained a love for learning.
This makes me religious, as I attend an institution on a weekly basis. However, attending the religious institution is an extremely important part of my spirituality. The weekly sermons in which I attend provide understanding and guidance about living a life of faith that I could not get to on my own. The sermons are given by a pastor who is not only tremendously educated in Bible study, but can make the Bible come to life with an understanding that is clear to normal people.
I'm not a tremendously religious person. I don't attend religious services, I don't say prayers before bedtime (or much of any other time), I don't read a section of my holy book on a regular schedule... you get the picture. The closest I'd come to claiming a personal faith is to call myself a sort of armchair Daoist.
My parents never had the best education, but they supported me nonetheless in my own education, and after I received my high-school diploma, I went to study at Harvard university. Sadly, I was kicked out due to bad grades and had to continue my college career at Fredonia State Teacher’s College.
Athletic.Talented.Intelligent. These are just a few words that describe me.They are what my everyday experiences and actions represent in my life. But there is one word that describes me a little bit more. Because of the experiences I have had in my life so far, it is clear to see that I am optimistic.
When I hear the words “Spirituality” and “Religion,” I think about “Spirituality.” I was never taught “Religion” nor was I interested in it. The closest I have ever been to feeling like I believed in something was when I learned about Transcendentalism. I see Transcendentalism as a way all living things connect. I believe Transcendentalism relates more to “Spirituality” than “Religion.” Although I don’t believe in a greater being, I do believe we all connect in more ways than one.
My family is very close and nothing happens without everyone knowing about it. Most of my family members are hard working and value education. I learned that an education is important in today 's world and I need to out all of my energy into my education. That is why I work to help my mother pay for my tuition because I picked this college and it is also my responsibility to help. I also pay for all of my necessities. I wish that my mother made more than twenty-nine thousand to make her life easier, but I am known nothing else so, my socioeconomic does not bother me much. I grew up with a lot less than what I have now so, all I can be is grateful for where we are. After my parents divorce the reason why my family moved to Kokomo, Indiana was that my mother’s step-father and mother lived
Religious- In regards to my religious identity, I was raised primarily Lutheran. However, I consider myself Methodist and was confirmed. Despite that, I am unsure if I whole-heartedly believe in God. My religion does not co...
Religion and Personal Faith both involve answering the question of whether or not someone is “spiritual but not religious”. I say this in quotations, because it is ironic in the way that spirituality, is religious in a facet. Religion refers to a community of people who share a similar belief system. Meanwhile, Personal Faith refers to ones own personal beliefs that may or may not be associated with a specific Religion. One might use the terms “Religion” and “Personal Faith” interchangeably, but these terms have two separate definitions. It is a common phrase for people today to say that they are “not religious”, but instead that they are “spiritual. Being religious and being spiritual go hand in hand when it comes to Religion. Being religious involves abiding to a set of beliefs, while being spiritual involves growing into a certain consciousness. These are both significant
Traveling all over the world to discover the allure, refinement, and life of a new culture sounds phenomenal, does it not? Because I do not want to be like Jay Gatsby from The Great Gatsby and travel all over the world from war or with my illicit money, therefore I have to get a legal and moral job that will permit me to do this. One day on the Internet I stumbled across the potential career of a foreign affairs officer. I concluded that I would have to look into this profession because it sounded quite interesting. I of course would have to factor in how the Great Recession affected my career path to see if it would still be available for me. Then my exploration began.
Those who speak of spirituality outside of religion often define themselves as spiritual but not religious and generally believe in the existence of different "spiritual paths," emphasizing the importance of finding one's own individual path to spirituality. However, as a person who believes in a specific religion, I would say I find spirituality in the religion that I practice.
I am a very respectful, tolerant and accepting of others and am open to understanding different viewpoints. I believe, my spirituality plays an important role in who I am as a human being, my schooling and life experiences have instilled in me an ardent love for god and my neighbors, making me an ethically conscious, socially responsible and a spiritually integrated ...
I believe I have the capacity to maintain work stress and stay positive. It is because I am a positive thinker. From my experience, when I was perceiving inequity or facing stresses from work, I tried to restore equity by extra effort and stay focused on my goal. Therefore, these personality traits help me become a team player. Besides, I have high ethical standards which drives me to embody integrity in my actions. Honesty, integrity are very important personality traits to managers because they have responsibility of financial stewardship. Managers who has high ethical standards are likely to establish a code of ethic to guide team members’ behavior and less likely to manipulate shareholders’ assets. Individuals’ action are value drive, if I am a manager, I value company’s benefit over personal interest and I believe my ethical behaviors helps me to better manage others by building a trustful relationship with my team
Religious faith is something that is very important to me. I would define religious faith as the belief and trust in a higher power. It is called religious faith because one cannot prove that their God exists, but they still believe and have trust in their God. I have religious faith, as I am a Catholic, and believe in God and his Son Jesus Christ. My faith is something that I live out each and every day by following the teachings of my religion and practicing its values. Faith, quite frankly, makes me who I am and helps give my life meaning. My faith is very similar to what Tilley describes as, “the relationship between one and the irreducible energizing source of meaning and center of value in one’s life.” (Tilley, Faith, 26.) This means
