Prompt: Please submit a personal statement(250-500 words) describing how you will contribute to the academic,spiritual and community life at Calvin College
I seek a healthy spiritual and intellectual growth hence would like to join Calvin's pursuit of truth and knowledge. Offering the academic program I would like to pursue coupled with a deluxe Christian community is my main attraction to Calvin College. I would like to contribute to Calvin's campus life in my own unique way.
I have a passionate interest in research and laboratory work. I worked with my chemistry teacher on a project to find indicators for various gases. I would like to explore the rich terrain of science,and in collaboration with colleague researchers and help from professors, investigate pioneering discoveries to help and improve society. I love to motivate and assist students who are weak in science and mathematics. I tutored two of my classmates in further mathematics and chemistry and also helped a new student in my class to cover lessons he had missed. I have developed great love in assisting people academically and would like to continue such endeavour at Calvin.
Being an active member of the Young People's Guild(YPG) of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, I have inculcated spiritual and moral lessons which have strengthened my faith in God and also learned how to put the Word of God to practical use. At Calvin, not only do I seek to build and deepen my faith in God but also encourage others to build up strong foundation of Christian knowledge and faith in God through our savior,Jesus Christ, through meditation and self-reflection. I aspire to utilize my YPG experiences to help my colleagues to develop emotionally and spiritually. I would join the Bible/Fellowship group at Calvin and would bring on board innovative ideas and contribute wholeheartedly to the Christian learning environment. Charity and volunteerism are prominent words in my vocabulary as they are essential in one's spiritual growth and hence would partake in community services at Calvin and and be charitable also.
My secondary school,Galaxy International School, comprises students from over 35 countries. My exposure to the campus life at my school has taught me to be tolerant and enriched my campus life by embracing the diversity of other students. Being part of a bigger community at Calvin will not be a first time experience but rather an opportunity to upgrade my social relationship with other people from all walks of life. At Calvin, I would make an individual effort to become part of the community life and would be willing to contribute. I would cheer the college during games,participate in community services and obey the rules of the college. I am an attacking midfielder in the men's soccer team in my school and would like to in this activity at Calvin. I would like to be part of the men's soccer team in Calvin and uniquely contribute my quota to the development of the team spirit of the soccer team. I would participate in inter-college sports activities.With high sense of hard work twinned with teamwork,I hope my role in the team would be of great help to the men's soccer team at Calvin.
