ESSAY:

 

QUESTION 1

Describe how two or more of the concepts above [Family, Patriotism, Faith, and Education]

have helped to shape your core values. Provide one example from your personal experience, and one of your future goals that exemplifies their impact in your life.

 

QUESTION 2

John 15:13 states, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” In the literal sense, this verse describes how men and women are willing to sacrifice their lives for their fellow man while protecting our everyday freedoms. We can look at our  current world situation and see this being put into action on almost a daily basis. Reflect on your own personal life, and family history. Share an example of sacrifice by you, or a family member, and how it has helped to shape the person you are, and the core values you believe in.
