Mission Statement:Jasmine Grant

Posted by Jasmine Grant on January 29, 2009

I have many beliefs, goals, and objectives that I would like to accomplish in life while I still have the opportunity. I feel that my purpose in life is to help better myself as an individual as well as other people around me.  Spreading the word of God to others is a strong belief of mine.  Others should be able to experience what God is capable of doing.  I also believe that change is also something that everyone should get foward to, Obama will be making that happen.  Being able to adapt to change is very important. I have many goals that I would like to accomplish also.  I would like to get my degree and become a successful pharmacist. Eventually start my own practice so that when I have children I can make my won schedule. I first want to start out working on taking care of me, working at CVS until I am ready for children.  Once I can take care things that need to be taken care of, I would like to start a family.  My goal is to move some where in east or south Texas.  By the age of thirty-five i would like to be well off and satisfied with life itself.

Posted by Jacinda Whitley on January 28, 2009

I will forever uphold the aims to becoming a responsible woman of greatness, through living by the “Golden Rule” and helping others to create a higher self-esteem in the community. Being respectful to other and oneself as well as living and walking in God’s footsteps, will not only keep me grounded, it will create a better humanity.

***XU MiSSiON, Our_Voice, Our_World***: A Blog By Jacinda Whitley

When it comes Xavier University, the mission statement is one that everyone can understand and demonstrate. Since the key idea that Xavier promotes is creating a more just, humane society, getting our voices and ideas to be heard would more than exemplify our mission statement.

One way to be heard is to get involved in activites and organizations that you feel you can represent. For example, clubs and organizations such as the NAACP and UNCF, support African Americans and getting an education, as we all do. By joining such organizations you can help promote education as well, which would further support the mission statment as well as let your vioce be heard.

I feel that your vioce can be heard louder through your actions. Getting involved in the problems that affect society such as breast cancer, heart disease and especially AIDS, further demonstrates the mission, your vioce and benefits everybody’s world.

When it comes to the Beyond Jena issue, I feel that by understanding our mission we can understand how we can contribute and help. Within our mission statement, the main goal is create a more just and humane society. How we contribute could be through teaching, service or even just listening to the children and poeple of the communities in which such unjust problems can occur.  By doing so we further invest in the mission statement in which we have chosen to live by, by becoming an exceptional leader and by giving back to the society through service.
