How much can you accomplish until the age of 17? If it were 2012 today, then I would agree to God that life was an amazing experience. Like many other boys, I love to swim, play basketball, crack jokes, rap, play tag, hide n seek, watch TV, play games on the computer, get tired and fall asleep. However, when I was growing up as a kid, I learned very quickly in my life that life has a duty for each individual. What was my role? I did not know what it was until the age of 14. In order to enjoy life to its maximum, I rather excel myself and live for others. Now, I would not say, I am not living for myself. I realize living for others could be life worthwhile. For example, I have knowledge my mom as a single parent; struggle to resolve her debts, and problems (catholic school tuition, mortgage, family stability, and my grandmother suffering with heart disease and dementia). Then I said to myself, wouldn’t it be it be worthwhile, if I can be the one to help pay off her bills, bring the family together, and finally bring some sort of happiness in her life. Yes, I would agree that it would be worthwhile living for others, and not just for my mom, but also for every else who is in need and myself. In return, I would be happy inside. It is a “win, win” situation. This mindset was the catalyst to my desire, goals, and achievements. I now wanted to become an innovator, engineer, and help people with my abilities. I want to create a foundation of wealth that would help as many people as I can. I have already started on my goals, and everything seems to be working well. As of today, I am a successful entrepreneur, online business owner (plrebookclub.com, marketer, copywriter, author, avid reader, movie buff, outdoorsman, caring and understa... ... middle of paper ... ... In addition, I have already outsourced my own assistant developer from India. This was a necessary step to my business, as I had to reduce the amount of work that was being thrown at me, and stabilize my time management along with school. However, hard work does pay off. Once Content Professor launches, I expect this site to gross an income of more than $10,000 a month for 2010. So what are my plans, if I become rich over this? I plan to retire at a very early age, and focus my goal on becoming an engineer/innovator to make the next best thing of tomorrow. I hope that with my ideas and innovations I will benefit society and help in whatever way I can. My goals will not be easy to accomplish, but may I remind you I am already about 40% done. Everything I am today comes through my strong visions, beliefs, and actions. Through this, imaginations are vulnerable.
Where I thought Money, fame, glory and power where my goals. I dreamed of becoming the CEO of Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Moreover, the reason was that currently their CEO makes 14.5 million a year. Growing up I always assumed making more money would make me happy. As I grew up and started, working the goal was always to make more money. For instance, my first job I made $15 a day. I would tell myself if I only made $30 a day, I would be able to do this or that. As the years progress I went on to tell myself if I only made XX amount of dollars my life would get better. Now that I am making a decent amount of money now I can say okay life is better but it is not the money it is my lifestyle and my son that has enhance my
As an educator my main is to help children to become pedagogically and academically successful. In order to be useful in the society in which they live they need to get a well-balanced education. Besides, we need to offer them a safe and fun environment as they learn. It is equally important, that both teachers and parents should play a decisive role in reinforce children’s emotionally, intellectually, and socially.
“Success is whatever each person defines it to be for himself or herself (Womack, C.D. 2003,10 page 46).” Learning is a never ending cycle; rather through formal or informal training. People need to be prepared to learn in order to be successful both in education and their career. Educational goals combined with personal learning styles, appropriate resources, a proper writing process and academic integrity leads to academic success.
It is your choice to make something out of yourself in life, or to plan what you will do in life? don’t use “you” Like many children do growing up, I grew up hoping to get famous one day like many children do growing up. My family has been by my side my whole life and they have been trying their best to get me to grow up to be a successful Christian man and not to follow the crowd and do bad like how the world is trying to make us. They have been struggling to help me and my brothers to get us to be “good” people. There are many things me and my family want so, if I want to make it all happen I need to work hard for it.
I always knew, without a doubt, that I would attend college. From the time I was very young, it was instilled in me by the adults in my life that going to college and furthering my education was my best shot at being successful. Now that I am partaking on this journey, I can only hope that those people were right.
I have numerous milestones that are important to me as I move toward adulthood. The first milestone I have is to graduate college with high grades and a bachelor’s degree. I am invested in learning about my interests and aim to do the best I possibly can to achieve those goals to put me in the best possible spot to work in my field of study. Another milestone I have will be the day when I get a starting position at a job that I have always wanted to do. There will be a great feeling of self-fulfilment knowing that your hard work pays off as it translates to doing something you love. I also aim to achieve a milestone of traveling to a foreign country so that I can experience what it's like outside of america and immerse myself in the culture to truly get a taste of the world. This milestone will give me perspective and insight not only to the lives of others, but also to my own life. I do also have the milestones of becoming financially independent, getting married, settling down and having a child, but those goals are not set in defined times and by no means will go in any order. I will focus on my studies first and enjoy all the world has to offer as long as I can before I decide to settle down. I plan to make the most of the opportunities that I have before it is too
Everyone has a story and we all have our own journey. I am the first born of four children. I live with both my mother and father. Even though I grew up with strong morals, I still strayed away. My parents pulled me out of school in the beginning of the second semester of ninth grade because I was hanging out with the wrong people and doing the wrong things. That may have seemed like a good idea at the time but it only made me rebel even more. After my parents pulled me out of school, I didn’t continue my education. The last grade I completed was 8th grade. By the end of what would be twelfth grade if I had stayed in school, I was living with this guy that talked me into escorting. Pills were the only thing that kept me going during that time. My parents sent me to a rehab in Delray Beach, Florida on September 9th, 2013. I stayed in treatment for forty-five days. I decided to stay in Florida and live in a halfway house after I got out of rehab. After about two weeks of living in a halfway house, I ended up relapsing. I was on the streets and in and out of crack houses for about a month. This was one of the roughest times of my life. When I finally had had enough, I got on a plane and came back home to Arlington, Texas. Getting my life on track had to be my first priority. I had to change the people I hung out with, the places I went to, and the things I do today. I have chosen to be a therapist at a drug/alcohol rehab center because I wouldn’t have made it back if it wasn’t for my therapist at the treatment center I went to. I want to help people with their drug addiction just like the amazing people that gave me a foundation and helped me start in my recovery over drug addiction. My goal is to get through my basics at TCC and th...
Over the past few decades, people have drastically changed the way they choose their career. Times have changed a great deal, and people no longer feel forced into a certain profession. People are now given endless choices and possibilities, and it is up to them to decide what they want to do the rest of their lives. When facing these important decisions, it is very easy to become confused. I once was very uncertain about any career goals I may have had, but now, I am more sure of the direction my life is going.
In the first quarter, my goals were mostly to just pass my classes with at least a B and since I started school a little late, I wanted to catch up with my work and bring up my grades because I was behind and failing most of my classes during the first few weeks. I also wanted to try and not get in trouble in my classes as much and I did not want to get detention. I met my first goal of bringing up my grades in all my classes from failing to passing and I am passing all of my classes with a B and above. I did not really meet my second goal of not getting in any kind of trouble because I got detention during the first quarter. I think some challenges for this new quarter is keeping track of my work and homework and keeping my grades up. Another
I feel like I have set many goals for my personal life throughout my childhood and
I feel a bit lost if I do not need to go to school weekly, and I cannot believe that only 4 credits short of finishing my MSA degree. I have been enjoying the learning process that enables me to interact with professors and my classmates for the past year and a half. This is one of the milestones that encourage me continually keep my hard efforts to reach my goal, being a CPA. To be clear, my goal has never been changed. I have been paying massive action toward to the CPA exams. I am currently working for a small tax firm which allows me to learn the tax knowledge the most. I have been looking for a better return on my investment while I becoming more proficient in my competency area. Moving forward continuously, I know that the date just right
Apple Computers founder Steve Jobs passed away recently, and news outlets paid tribute to him by listing his accomplishments, and playing video of him speaking. One of these clips showed Mr. Jobs delivering a commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005, and the speech included a treasure trove of information. In one of my favorite parts of his address, Jobs said” you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever.” (Jobs, 2005)
As part of the assignment for this chapter I recognized and prioritized my education, career, life goals. This was an interesting exercise because it made me analyze my goals which I had not done in a long time. I conceded my goals as follows; Education: graduate with a BAAS in the Fall of 2017 semester, start a Master degree in the Spring of 2018, graduate with a Master degree by Fall of 2021. Career: achieve a higher level in my position (via training, certification, etc.) by April of 2017, find a career that will provide a more personal satisfaction by 2018. Life: spend more time with my daughters, travel to Europe, be more financially stable, buy a new home, travel to Hawaii. The education, career and life goals are in a priority order to which I am planning to achieve each one of them moreover. People change their priorities, and I am not an exception, but I have two daughters that depend on me, so my main concerns have changed related to education, career and life goals. I compared these recent goals listed above with the goals that I set for myself ten years ago, a reasonable number
I have many goals that I dream of meeting during this lifetime. Each goal is special to me in different ways. I dream of graduating college, receiving my degree in Elementary education, making a difference in the lives of my students, starting a family, and publishing my first novel. These goals can be divided in three separate categories: educational goals, personal goals, and goals that make a difference.
It has been my craving in every aspect of life to do things differently, chart my own path and tread in to uncharted territory. Nine years back, this what made me join a course in bachelor of marine engineering at MERI, the only institute in India exclusively offering such a course. Idea of venturing in to high sees, braving the storms with only handful of resources and almost completely cut off from out side world made adrenaline pumping in to my veins. All this along with opportunity to get exposure to highly sophisticated systems on board ships, which was fodder for my technical bent of mind seemed perfect for my adventure seeking personality. Through out my career progression I have made such decisions like joining LNG shipping pool of my company and seeking extra professional qualification of eligibility to sail on diesel engine driven as well as turbine driven ships
