EVALUAION OF PERSONAL AND LEARNING GOALS
My personal goals are to get an ATAR of +90 to gain entry into dentistry or pharmacy at university, and improve my public speaking skills.
My learning goals are to improve my study habits so I can complete my school work with the highest grades possible during senior years, and to find a work experience placement in either a Dental Clinic or Pharmacy by the 27th of March 2017.
These goals help me by allowing me to visualise what I want to do in the future and how I can achieve them.

I have also learnt that becoming a dentist is not an easy career pathway as I will be required to achieve the highest possible ATAR score and will have to study approximately 5 more years of university after graduating from high school.
I decided on my goals by finding out what I am passionate about and talking with my parents and teachers about my interests. From my parents’ advices I started to mind map the possible careers I can do in the field that I am interested in and determined the one I am most passionate

These goals had enabled me to achieve the goals by helping me organising my plans and priorities, improving my speaking skills, giving me the knowledge required, allowing me to achieve high grades in all my chosen subjects, and planning out my strategies.
The problem that I encountered was looking for a club room as I need to get permission from a teacher and have them supervise the club. I overcame this problem by talking to the Year 10 Coordinator and different teachers, and had found a supervisor by doing so.
These capabilities are very valuable to my future as they are crucial for me to achieve the goals that would lead me to my desired career pathway – finishing high school, going to university, and finding a job.
Literacy capability could help me to get high grades in English, communicate and express my ideas and opinion to other people, develop my written and verbal, and analyse
I want to have goals so I have to improve in my Long Range Goals by setting both academic and personal goals. I also want to study and have knowledge of what career/path that I can pursue in college. I also want to be aware of the steps needed in order to achieve my goals and I will apply it by participating in activities that are related to my career goal. Then I can also improve the skill of Realistic Self-Appraisal by being aware of my strengths and weaknesses. I will also be realistic on what I want to do and what I can say/learned, which will determine if I have met my goals or
Growing up I can’t say I ever knew right off the bat I wanted to work in the dental industry. I wanted to be a soccer player or an artist of some sort. I have a very big extended family with awesome careers. Which kind of got me thinking, what do I really want to do? Two of my uncles and one of my cousins are dentists. So of course they were talking to me a lot suggesting the dental field.
Goals give you something to measure yourself against and give you direction. Currently, my main goal is to graduate from East Carolina University with a bachelor’s degree of science in engineering with a concentration in biomedical engineering. My anticipated time to graduation is five years with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Beyond getting my bachelor’s degree at East Carolina University, I would like to go to medical school and become a doctor focusing on prosthetics. In order to make my goals a reality, I will have to work diligently to remain on track throughout my schooling. Additional goals that I have set for myself are to complete homework assignments by the time they are due, reading assigned material before it is discussed in class, doing well in each of my courses this semester, successfully participating in extracurricular activities, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in engineering, getting a position as an engineer, and becoming a leader within both the engineering community and the general community. A world-class engineering student woul...
One goal is I want to see what I am capable of. I have a terrible habit where I doubt myself, and that doubt sometimes leads me missing out on life changing opportunities. There’s a saying that goes, “Doubt kills more dreams than future ever will” which really emphasizes how doubt is what makes us runs away from our hopes, goals, and dreams. It is something that makes us terribly afraid to try something new or make an effort with things. However, I truly want to not run away from that doubt, but to be able to overcome it. Even though I may be doubtful at times, I am full of determination to pursue excellence and strive to do my best in everything. For example, I want to see how great I can make my education be in high school. I have a strong connection and commitment when it comes to learning because it’s always a joy and experience when it comes to knowing new things. I believe that knowledge is one great element in life where it leads to the highest success, and it can only be acquired one way through diligence and effort. When it comes to my education, I make sure to not take it for granted and to never give up, even if it may feel brutal at times. In my opinion, I care what I learn and put towards my education rather than the grade given since with all the effort and work I put towards to what I am told, the grade follows. However, that does not mean that I am careless about my grades. I greatly cherish school and can be an example towards others at Rocky Mountain when it comes to setting academic goals and aspiring all the knowledge I want in my education. I want to influence others to make an effort when it comes to their education and see what they’re capable of. That’s why whenever I look at teachers, I see that they are sharing the gift of new traits for our education, for our futures in life. When looking at those apart of the National Honor Society, I noticed that they have
Strong literacy skills are closely linked to the probability of having a good job that pays good. Usually, literacy is referred to as the ability to read, understand, and use information. But the term has come to take on broader meaning, standing for a range of knowledge, skills and abilities relating to reading, mathematics, science and more. This reflects widespread and deep changes that have taken place in technology and in the organization of work over the past quarter century. Having strong literacy skills are more important than some might think.
Growing up, we dream to be astronaut’s, or doctors and lawyers. As time goes by we change what we want to do so many times. Getting stuck at times on making a choice. By the time we are juniors and seniors in high school getting ready for college we have a lot of pressure on us to make a decision. It took me slightly longer then others to fully commit on what I wanted to do as my career but I ultimately decided to become a dentist. Dentist, like many other medical professionals go threw extensive training and test to become certified in the field. Let’s look at what it takes to become a general dentist, what they do, and how to be successful.
having the capacity of write and read helps to be part of the society. Nowadays is almost impossible to find a job for a person that do not have the capacity to write or read. My life would be complete different if a would not have these capacities. I might never find a good job, and I might never have the chance of using the technology. I could not be imaging that a person that have not the capacity to write and read find a job because even in the easiest jobs a person might need to read.
The next set of goal setting importance is my personal goals with the first being to over come the obstacles associated with returning to school.
According to my academic goal plan, my goals was to get ahead at least 2 days of my assignments and make an A on majority of classes and score an A on my biology midterm exam. The goal that I have met current was my short term goal which was to basically not procrastinate and get ahead in my work. My other goals which were personal dealt with not letting things overwhelm me or stress me. I reach my goal by having a positive mind set and taking it easy when things became a lot for me. As I was setting my goals, it impacted me to where I am less stress
That combination between the manual skills and scientific knowledge will result in specialisations, wild range of opportunities and satisfying career. I kept working for that fascinating future I planed for my self after getting inspired by the dentist who treated me, reading more and more, working on my academic study at secondary school until the moment I had graduated from the it and got the requirements which allow me to study in the dental technician institute. So, after tow years, I graduated as a Dental Technologist and started to work as a trainee in my cousin's laboratory and gained massive experience to practice it as private. however, I was still thinking about my dream to be a dentist and being a dental technician were just the beginning. So, I applied for a BDS Dentistry course in the International University of Science and Technology but sadly I couldn't graduate .
I have always wanted to make good grades but I never really set any goals but, then I realized that setting academic goals are way more important than people realize . I then started to set goals like my sophomore year of high school after I did that it really helped me focus on my future and what I wanted for myself. My goals I think pushed me so much more academically they opened my eyes a little bit more. One Goal I set was to graduate High school with a Core 40 diploma, which I did, so that is one goal down and a bunch more to go. My senior year I started applying to college but my main goal was to make into Saint Mary-of-the Woods and when I received my acceptance letter I was ecstatic. So far, I am still trying to figure out my academic goals for college but, I do know for sure that I want to succeed in every single way that I can so I can make a better future for myself. A goal that I made this year is to make the dean’s list every single time, for this I will study so hard for every test, do all of my homework, and ask questions when I have them and maybe even getting a tutor. This challenge will probably be really tough but I believe that I can do it if I put my mind to it, and I tend to be a very determined
I believe that choosing to be a dentist was definitely by choice and not by chance. For being the first dentist in my family, I received immense support and encouragement. For my undergraduation, I enrolled in Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital; a highly reputed dental school in Tamil Nadu, India. I was motivated to excel at what I did from my very beginning. From carving teeth out of wax blocks to carving amalgam restorations on teeth, I thoroughly enjoyed what I did. I excelled in academics graduating with a 4.0 GPA and received the Highest Performer award and the Best Outgoing Student award of my batch during my graduation. I received several accolades for this achievement and was encouraged to continue Post Graduation at the same institution by the faculty and management.
Become a dentists is something that I really want, because it can give me a lot of opportunities that I really want to have in a career. In this career, I will always be able to have a job because it is one of the jobs that are always in demand. Due to the success of preventive dentistry on reducing the oral incidents, I can see that a lot of elderly people are keeping their teeth longer and realizing the importance of regular dental care services. So that means that the demand for dental care will continue to grow and more dentists would be need. This career sounds very exciting for me, due to the fact I don’t have to worry about if there are enough jobs or not because people are always going to need oral services whether if the economy of the country is good or bad.
I personally choose these goals, because before this class I would of thought I was just fine. After seeing how these two issues have affected my life, made me see I really needed a change and quick. It was unhealthily stressing, procrastinating and not sleeping at all. Both of my S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measurable, A...
...elieve simply writing these goals out will manifest themselves and I look at where I came from to where I am now and where I can be in the future. I am very enthusiastic about advancing both in academia and career wise above all I am excited about the positive affects my journey will exsanguinate to others clients, family members, friends, and colleagues. As these people will positively affect my journey too in my point of view most things are circular and transactional. We all contribute to each other one way or another.
