Living with a purpose: Using education

Everyone has a purpose in life. What ultimately separates a desire from purpose is the lasting effect that it has on the surrounding environment. Sophomore psychology major Drew Jordan aspires to touch lives by building character to individuals.

“I believe my purpose in life is to help people with their problems and provide them with the tools to get pass their obstacles that hold them back in life,” Jordan said.

Jordan is using the resources provided at Cabrini College to accomplish his purpose in life. Jordan looks for many opportunities on campus that is building his experience.

“I mentor former members of the Realizing Dreams LLC, and will be a peer orientation leader for the 2013 incoming freshman for their first year experience to help them adjust to he new college experience” said Jordan.

Jordan has known that this was something he strived to do. Becoming a psychology major at Cabrini has only reinforced his purpose in life. “Cabrini College has been helping me by providing me with the knowledge and tools to succeed in my field of psychology through the numerous courses and personal insight that all the professors of the psychology department provide to expand my view on different ways of engaging and helping people with their own obstacles in life,” Jordan said.

While Jordan knows that he will touch many lives, he doesn’t feel as though his life will be complete once he has achieved his purpose.

“I believe that my life purpose will be incomplete if I accomplish this, simply because I personally believe that I can not help everyone alone, but I can make a difference in the people that I come in contact with,” Jordan said.
