To contribute to this kind of objective requires: taking consistent actions through community service and a deep passion for helping people as much as possible. In this aspect, my goals and faith are intersecting, which is another reason why I believe I am good fit for the university. As Pepperdine's mission statement encourages everyone to engage in community service, to help address various social issues. This is important, because as a Christian, having a sense of duty and service to humankind are what the teachings of Christ are instilling upon us. Serving the community in a positive way; is helping to support my belief in Christ, by following the same selfless example that was set. In this aspect, I think that the mission of the university is aligned with my beliefs of self-service for humankind.

When you put the different elements together, they are...

This is because the views of the university are aligned to my personal beliefs in Christ and self-service. The fact that the mission statement supports these views means that I can be able to receive a better education (through the enlightenment of attending). As the diversified student body, challenging academic standards and programs to expand our faith in God will take my education to a higher level. This is because Pepperdine, offers the opportunity to have a higher a sense of: understanding and appreciation for the various teachings of Christ. As a result, I believe that completing the rest of my higher education requirements at the university, will help to prepare me for the challenges that I will face in the real world. Where, the various courses and programs of self-service will provide a higher level of spiritual understanding. At which point, this can help me to become a better educator by having: compassion, awareness and the intellect to help individuals from all walks of life.
