Personal Mission Statement

During a recent teaching session, one of the students shared their personal mission statement – written over 20 years ago.

“To constantly seek more knowledge and understanding of Jesus Christ and develop an ever increasing relationship with Him. To teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ when given the opportunity while being a living light of His love and salvation. I will strive for excellence in all aspects of my life through transformative leadership, commitment, integrity, truthfulness and dedication. To view life as a learning/growth continuum; striving for higher knowledge heights while lifting as I climb by first exhibiting those things I learn in my life and then by teaching everything I learn wherever and whenever possible to whomever is willing to listen.

To believe in the power of people; that people together can accomplish many great things. Finally, to concern myself with the well being of every person I encounter by believing that WE is always more important than me.” 

Long . . . but well stated. We are blessed to have this individual as a member of the masters program in management and organizational leadership.
