Olivet Paper

Through out my life, I have learned from others and I have grown, certain people have influenced me in the choices I have made; the biggest influence on me is Gods calling for my education at Olivet. While I’m pursuing my further education at Olivet Nazarene University, I am going to major in Child Psychology. I love to work with children and I feel a strong sense that God is calling me to your school. These reason are what makes me positive that Olivet is right for me.

Child Psychology interests me because I love to work with children and help out people with their problems. I love being there for my friends and others when they need me.

I have been involved with Youth for Christ for six years now. Going to the organizations with YFC let me grow deeply in love with my Spiritual Father.

While I attend Olivet, I plan to continue ministering to others outside the community and becoming a volunteer with YFC. I know that I am right for Olivet and that my leadership qualities will grow deeper with my future experiences there. I feel that psychology works a little like ministry, because you’re doing the good deed of helping people out and possibly changing their lives forever. I do not want to miss out on what Olivet has to offer me and what God has in store for me.

I feel that Olivet will change me for the better and challenge me more everyday and I hope that I will be able to influence Olivet as well. I have witnessed and brought many peers to know Christ by telling my testimony and watching tears fall from their faces. My sophomore year, after coming back from Go MAD, a group of student leaders and myself met outside the school each morning and prayed for our friends, teachers, peers, and community.
