Recommended: Goals after senior high school

My goals and aspirations after high school currently revolve around going to college and getting there myself.
One of my goals after high school is to go to a public college in New York and receive my masters degree in the field of business. Notice that I said field of business, not a specific career. I want to take advantage all of the opportunities that may come along and not restrict myself to a certain path being that I am still only in high school. Other students know what field or major they are interested in right off the bat, I on the other hand do not. I know for sure that business is where I want to go but I am afraid that if I specify anymore, I may take the wrong path. In turn, leaving me with the career that I may not want to be in for the rest of my life. My plans to go to New York for college is often looked down on. People seem to think that I am not able to make it there by myself. Their doubts motivate me to get to New York everyday. I aspire that one day I can prove all the people that doubted me on my lifelong dream wrong and show them that if there is a will there is a way. …show more content…

I have always looked at college as a path that I need to take on my own. I never wanted my parents or any of my family members to help me pay for my college. In my opinion, I am an adult, I need to take responsibility for my own decisions. If I decide that I am going to go to college in New York then I will get myself there. I am willing to work as many hours, apply for as many scholarships and grants that I need to make my dreams come true. I am no longer my parents burden that they have to pay my way for me. The schooling is for me not them. I also know that I will take every class to heart when I pay for it myself.
In conclusion, my goals and aspirations after high school include buying a one way ticket to New York and making things happen for me, in the big

    Also, I am not going to go into a trade, so a college education is the only way I'll make it in this financially demanding world. My family supports me with my school accomplishments mentally sometimes, but not financially ever. I have to pay for college myself, so it is really important for me to get in, do well, and then graduate. I believe that college would be important to me either way, but it's different when it is your own money on the table. Also, it is easier to take advantage of your own family's money versus a scholarship foundation's money. I wouldn't want their first impression of me to be that I took money away from someone who would've made better use of their money. Education is the key to every closed door, and the last thing I will do is let myself

    Do you think it's better to go away for college or stay close to home? When teenagers finally reach their senior year of high school, they begin applying to colleges.

There are many pros and cons to whether a student chooses the option to stay close to home or go away for college. I believe that staying close to home is the better option because as a student fresh out of high school, you shouldn’t have to worry so much about bills and money problems. I believe that those are problems for when you are older and you fully understand how to handle your money and problems that you would face later on.

    Unfortunately, because of my young age I lack the experience of being on my own and not depending on my parents for survival. As a result, the idea living without the support of my parents seems challenging because I don’t know the outcome that would most likely occur. For example, I don’t want to go to an out-of-state college because the idea of living without the advantages of living in a house rather than a dorm, like privacy and food, seem daunting because the only experience I have ever had where I lived away from my parents was when I went on a 5-day field trip when I was 11 years-old. This lack of experience makes me less inclined to go to a out-of-state college because I have yet to develop confidence in my ability to independently survive.

    760 Words  | 2 Pages

    My goals in life are ultimately to achieve success in life. My goals are to also have happiness, prosperity in every area in my life, and the freedom and peace within to be able to carry out my goals. My goals are also heavily influenced on the hardships my parents have had to endure such as facing ridicule for the simple fact of being immigrants, the extremely difficult time they endured due to unemployment and living in poverty, and the low degree of education they received from their countries. My goals are so important to me because I view it as way out of barely getting by, out of a harder life. My goals consist of me being the first person on my mother 's side to ever graduate from middle and high school. My goals also consist of making my parents proud of their daughter, a daughter that will give them a more comfortable life, one that is not filled with such pain. After seeing my mother suffer from a liver infection which caused her to become sick to the point of hospitalization, I promised myself that day I never wanted anyone to feel as sick as my mother did. No one deserves to go through that much suffering.
