For one of my graduate classes I am writing up a personal mission and vision statement about my aspirations as a person and student affairs professional. I have been doing a lot of reflecting on who I want to become and what kind of professional I want to be and then I remembered that I once wrote a mission my senior year of college in Dr. Warner's leadership class, so naturally I pulled it out.
Here's what it said:
C is for caring for others unconditionally
A is for advocating for those who need heroes
N is for never giving up when trying to achieve a goal,
even when facing adversity
D is for dedicating time out of every day to remind
someone why they are important to you
A is for actively listening and always having a
shoulder for someone to lean on
C is for creating an environment where people feel they
can approach you
E is for embracing every day with a positive attitude
Yes it's a pretty long mission statement, but I did really feel every word I put into it. So now I am tasked with finding a new mission and/or modifying what I came up with. The fact of the matter is that I have done a lot of growing since my senior year so I felt it was time for a change. Below is what I came up with - what do you think? Does it fit me?
My Mission
To live life
completely, thoughtfully, creatively, and passionately
with a healthy dose of realism mixed with imagination
and a never-ending advocacy for any voice left unheard.
My Vision
I am a creative soul with an undying passion
to empower and inspire others to pursue their dreams.
I believe that every single person can create
their destiny and make a meaningful impact on themselves and their community.
And therefore I amplify the voices of soft spoken
heroes and tirelessly advocate for voices left unheard to create positive
change.
