The value’s I hold close to my heart are morals that were set forth in my life at a very young age. Having been raised in a Christian home, the standards that I have set for myself are the Biblical precepts in which God set forth before the foundations of the earth. Therefore, my faith in God is the foundation of the decisions and plans I have made for my future. My value’s consist of loving God with all my being, loving others unconditionally, living my life as a positive example, being a contributing member of my family and community. As well as to live my life drug free, and last but not least being a person that can edify and encourage others to reach their full potential and to never waiver or give up on the goals and dreams they have.
The primary objective in my life is to prioritize it in a way pleasing to God. My relationship with God is first and foremost. I, like everyone else struggle with making the correct choices, yet knowing that I am accountable to God and man for my actions keeps me aware of how my choices will effect my life and the lives of those around me. I find through placing God first in my everyday life that I am able to stand strong in my convictions.

Upon finding this scholarship, I was excited about the opportunity to talk about the values and convictions I hold near and dear to my heart. Very rarely does one have the opportunity to openly share with others their morals, value’s and convictions in a manner such as this.

(Phil 2:3 NKJV) To me this means if we esteem others better, we will naturally have a concern for their needs and concerns. In other words if I am considering you above me, and you are considering me above you, a marvelous thing happens: we have a community where everyone is looked up to, and no one is looked down on. I am aware that this belief is contradictory to the concepts we are taught about having self-esteem. Many interrupt self-esteem as the idea that we should and must carry with us an attitude of confident superiority in every situation, regardless of how this makes another person feel. My belief however, is as we put away our selfish ambitions, our conceit, and our tendencies to be high-minded and self-absorbed, we will naturally have a greater concern for the interests and needs of others. We do not have to sport an attitude of superiority to have confidence in ourselves.
