UNDERSTANDING: AT THE OUTSET OF YOUR LIFE, YOUR GOALS AND DREAMS WILL ONLY BE FULFILLED WHEN YOU SERIOUSLY PRAY AND SCRIPTURALLY WALK WITH GOD. HAVE YOU MADE PRAYER ON THESE MATTERS? THIS VISION PAPER REQUIRES A LIFE OF PRAYER… But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart (Psalm 40:8).
I. Focused Interests
ONE PAGE. Provide an updated description of your specific interest established in the 11th grade goals paper. What steps need to be taken within this school year to make the transition from high school to college or your desired plan? Set-up a second interview to further learn about your interests and responsibilities in regards to the avenue you are pursuing. At the end of the third and fourth quarter complete a progress report which should include your current standing of the transition from high school to the avenue you are pursuing. Reflect, through discussion, on your strengths and weaknesses and how you increased your strengths and diminished your weaknesses over the past three years (9th – 11th). (Note: Include the transition report and interview as an appendix at the end of this document.)
II. Academic Goals
ONE PAGE. Discuss your academic goals, including your current GPA. How does this relate to your past goal for your GPA? Discuss your ACT scores and how they relate to the national average concerning your placement. Discuss a course of action to better this score. Reflect, through discussion, on your strengths and weaknesses and how you increased your strengths and diminished your weaknesses over the past three years (9th – 11th). State your plan of action in furthering your education. Provide some research, of the college of your choosing, concerning the location, atmosphere, commute, size, and academic standing. Why have you chosen this institute and what are the spiritual ramifications in light of your biblical role as a godly wife and mother? (Note: Pleasant View Baptist School will not support a decision outside of the biblical responsibility of a woman based on the Bible which correlates 100% with the views of the Pleasant View Baptist Church. What this means is that the church will support the girls college option, a homemaker situation, and home school option. This EXCLUDES a career path which will not be supported by both parties, the Pleasant View Baptist Church and the Pleasant View Baptist School).
III. Spiritual Goals
ONE PAGE. What are you doing currently in the ministry and how has this changed since 11th grade papers? How will your academic goals affect the relationship with the church? How will your area of specialty affect the church and productivity of the ministry? How do you plan to apply these goals to the ministry? What are your goals for the ministry in the future? What role will you play in seeing that these goals are carried out? What desire or role would you like to fulfill in the ministry and why?
IV. Conclusion
