The beauty of the campus alone was stunning! It was during my university visit that I finally found a university that had all the features I was looking for. Baylor was the whole package! I liked that Baylor was larger than other Christian schools I visited, but it felt much more intimate. I knew, after exploring the campus and hearing about Baylor's mission, that my leadership strengths, spiritual connection, and respect for serving others would be a welcome contribution to the Baylor community. I intend to seek out organizations to collaborate with, where I can continue my community service and cultivate my spiritual growth, as I have done at home. My involvement with Young Life over the past 4 years, as a member and serving as a freshman girls leader, has helped me develop leadership strengths that I will be able to share with Baylor's diverse student body. It is through this organization that I have found fulfillment by exercising my gifts to encourage others, which incorporates my passion for serving others. I can also contribute to Baylor life through my work experience. I work teaching girls cheerleading and acrobatics skills. I help them strengthen their talents and athletic abilities while providing encouragement to their tender hearts. God has blessed me with the gift of compassion, revealed to me through working with these girls. I've learned that small gestures can have a huge impact
