ASSIGNMENT #1: Personal Vision, Mission and Values Statement
LENGTH: 1- page
Assignment overview: This is your manifesto. Make it beautiful! If you can fit it on one page, that’s great.. Feel free to decorate your statement with graphics, or photos that inspire you.
VISION: Think about the vision statements we reviewed in class and in particular, the ones that were 1) short, 2) inspiring and 3) broad. Write one for yourself that will inspire you to become the person you envision.
MISSION: Your mission defines 1) WHO you are as a person and 2) what your purpose is (why are you here?) (See pages 81-84 in your textbook.) For instance, “My purpose in life is to contribute to the economy of the Eastern Province by erecting attractive and energy-efficient commercial buildings. In my personal life, I will be a caring and responsible member of society devoted to my husband and children and helping them to be all they can be.” NOTE: You cannot use this statement, it will be plagiarizing.
VALUES: What are the FIVE (and ONLY 5) most important values that guide your life and influence everything you do? For instance, “I believe in being honest because without honesty, there can be no trust. I believe in being caring toward others because the Holy Quran teaches empathy, etc.” List each value and state why it is important to you. NOTE: You cannot use this example, it will be considered plagiarism.

more guidelines :
Mission statements are helpful for many reasons, but primarily they are used as a tool to encourage you to consciously reflect on who you are and what you are doing at your university. As you progress through your educational experience, you will find that you will take many side roads, you will wander off the path, hurry ahead of yourself, and even become unsure and hidden in the brambles. We have found that a personal mission statement is helpful when the way becomes cloudy; to return to a written statement of your essence and purpose in life can often help you forge your chosen path.
Definitions
“Values: ‘Concepts, principles, or standards that drive one’s decisions and actions.’ Examples of values are honesty, persistence, dependability, self-sufficiency, and faith.”
A vision statement: ‘A statement of three or four sentences describing a desired future – not a predicted future.’ Here is an example of a vision statement (stated as if the vision has already been achieved, so that it is positive and powerful): ‘I am a person who is peaceful and an example to others of that peace, which comes from faith in God. I am considered to be an inspirational teacher of great integrity. I lead a simple life style that includes plenty of time for myself, my family, and my friends as well as service to others.’
A mission statement: ‘A succinct (concise, short, brief, compact, condensed), easy-to-remember statement that provides direction for one’s life.’ Here is an example of a very short mission statement developed from the sample vision statement quoted above: ‘I am committed to living in accordance with my faith in God, maintaining a happy marriage, and being a loving and supportive parent. In my professional life, I seek to empower high school students by providing quality teaching while adhering to my religious principles. I want to live a simple life style.’ Note that a mission statement may be lengthier if desired, but brevity (shortness) is important.
During this process it is critical to ensure consistency between values, the vision statement, and the mission statement. If these three components are not consistent, it is not possible to devise a workable plan.”
To get you thinking about the development of your mission statement, please spend some time thinking about the following questions:
Why are you here today?
What are the life values that you hold most near to your heart?
What is it you are most passionate about?
What hopes do you have for your university experience?
What hopes do you have for your life beyond the University?
The answers you develop through these activities and exercises will be the basis of your personal mission and vision statement. Most of these answers are 1 page or less in length.
We also see this mission statement as highly fluid. As you continue your education, we hope that some of your initial ideas and longings remain the same and we also hope that you will be changed. To this end, the personal mission statement is a malleable (adaptable) document that begins today, will be submitted formally, and will continue to represent you
