Since I was a teacher, and will still be a teacher when I go back to my country. I hope I can teach my students more about how to learn and share my experiences to contact so many people from different culture backgrounds.

My higher purpose is improve my english while I have the chance to know more about the Church and at the sime time trying to be a better person surrounded by good examples.
ReplyDeleteMy higher purposes at the ELC is to improve my English, to have an amazing experience that helps me to grow towards the excellence and if it is possible to be accepted at BYU university. I want to get all of incredible experiences as more as I can, to be a better person and to gain wisdom.
ReplyDeleteClearly, I came here for learn english and prepared myself to go BYU. But, even many people know me, they don't know exactly my purposes to be at ELC, one of those is, be more independent, explain to my parents and show them that I'm not the little kid as always, just show them that I can do my things at my way and by my own. Second thing is when I will finish ELC and BYU, I have plans to create more work in my country, create NGO's and help the people anywhere, in temporary and spiritual way. And the last one, be prepared for the mission, for sure I will do my best for those two years, and for the rest of my life.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Mrs and Mr. Samuelson, I should not lose the spiritual focus in my studies, some times is so hard with a lot homework and stress schedules, even though I must kept the right perspective, every day we must fight with many spiritual dragons with the weapons of faith.
In my case, my 'higher purpose' is getting experience from the ELC. Atually I want to go to the BYU provo so I need to study hard at the ELC. And there are so many people from around the world so I would like to make many friends who have different culture. I really hope to get some experience good to my vision.
ReplyDeletesince I was in elementary school I always wanted to go to BYU so one of the ways to lern English in order to get there is going to ELC. I also wanted to improve my English skills so I can teach my family this language that is really necessary in the business.
