Pepperdine University is a Christian university that is aimed at providing both academic and Christian knowledge to its students (Boschee 1). It is located in California and has a good reputation all over the world. My dream of joining Pepperdine University started early during my childhood age. I worked very hard in the lower levels of my education so that I could attain good grades for admission at the university. I can describe my father to be the mentor of my dream since he was the one who motivated me to take a course in Business Administration. His insight and knowledge are what taught me the true meaning of success (News & World Report 1). I, therefore, believe that I will be able to learn the most advanced knowledge and skills in the university so as to pursue my career.
I believe I will be a great asset to the university once admitted. I know it will be a system of mutual benefit as I will get the best education as I also deliver to the university as well. I am from a strong Christian background and will therefore be in a good position to instill it to the rest of the students who might not be well conversant in it (Skinner 1). Since this is a Christian university, there is freedom of worship, which I will make sure is fully utilized so as to work as per the university’s motto.
The lessons and experiences I have attained during the past years in college and high school will also come into play during my study period at the university. I have learned various methods of enforcing teamwork, which I will teach my fellow colleagues. The teamwork will be a strategy of improving the university’s performance academically. I also gained interactive skills in college, thus will be able to easily and freely communicate with my tutors and professors. I know this will create a good learning atmosphere and thus attract many other students from different countries. I also promise to work hard in my course of study and excel academically.
Apart from being focused on my book work, I have developed many hobbies such as basketball, tennis, and golf so as to balance my life, which may prove to be stressful at times (Guido1). My involvement in sports will also be an added advantage as I am hopeful that I will perform well in them, thus capturing as many trophies as possible for the university. A good performance in sports will be strengthening the already good reputation of the university. This is because not only academic excellence is considered during ranking but also the performance of the university in extra-curriculum activities.
My personality of being strong, of willpower and persistence, makes me very proud as I am able to face challenges and endure any suffering. I know I can make a good peer counselor as well as a confidant. This way, I will be willing to help the other students who might be having problems preventing them from working hard. I have undergone so many hurdles in life and usually have the power to face any challenge. Hence I am positive that I will be of great help to the entire fraternity of the university.
I conclude by saying that given the opportunity, I believe that I will be of importance to the university in the achievement and fulfillment of its motto.
