Doctrinal Statement

University Snapshot

Christian Identity and Heritage

Explanation All these resources will help me and guide me to success and find myself through teachings. I would not be forced to learn strictly on one religion, culture, nor education standard. It will remind me to be comfortable with myself and show my roots so others can learn about my living and how things are different for all of us. If there is ever a time I need someone to give me a word of advice I can always go back to these resources and remind myself that I am not alone, to not be shy to socialize and be comfortable with others point in life. This is something that I have been living by and truly with hold in my life. It has guided me and shaped me to who I am now. This will bring me and uphold me to my faith in a stronger and powerful way as to the environment I will be set in. Being in a safe place and knowing that there are people who will help me with my success makes me at ease. Even if in the beginning I am shy to go up and ask for help, I should work up the courage because they are here to help me. This resource will help me expand my faith and knowledge furthermore. With this as GCU’s mission I believe it will get me closer to God and truly understand what being a Christian is.

Reflection: In 75-100 words reflect on the following: © 2020. Grand Canyon University. All Rights Reserved.

 

List at least three GCU resources (ex. Library, ACES, Career Connections, etc.) you will use during your academic career and include how you will engage with those resources for the entirety of your time at GCU. (1.2) Describe what academic success skills you will need to improve upon or master in order to be successful at GCU (ex. note taking, study skills, time management, etc.,). (1.1)

Three resources that I will be frequently using are: -Math Center: Having this center, it will make me want to ask questions when I need them instead of spending hours on one thing and still end up doing things wrong which over stresses me more -Writing Center: With this center I believe it will help me not only with my English but with my time management because I know there is more than one person willing to help me. -ThunderStorm: Being involved with my community any helping in any way has always been something that I have dedicated myself to, so this will help me out to fulfill that.
