Page 1 During the course of six weeks, I learned how to set realistic goals and understand what a goal is. Before entering my EDCP class, I assumed goals were very minute things such as going to lacrosse practice or making the team in high school. I never thought to plan for school assignments let alone my future. Goals are characterized by 5 aspects Specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and timeframe (SMART). Goals are what set students apart we all want something different whether it be academic, financial, personal, professional, and health and wellness goals are dear to my heart. I found out earlier this week that, I was placed into math 003 which is developmental math. In my mind I know I’m better than high school math, for the fall of my freshman year I don’t need any setbacks like this. I said to myself that I need to develop a goal to get out of it as soon as possible, I did some research and found out that after five weeks I can transfer to math 115 or 113. Math 115 and 113 are baseline freshman math courses I’m in developmental math. In order to transfer mid semester …show more content…
My employer will have quarterly Performance reviews to evaluate my workplace performance, productivity, and effectiveness to determine my standing in the company. The reviews generate Metric numbers which generally measure things such as customer satisfaction, organization performance, employee competence, and cost management. Having a good performance review will help show the value that I bring as an employee to the company. This is measurable by a promotion or an increase in pay. I can increase the time this will take by being more proactive and asking my customers ahead of time how they believe I handle their business. Realistically my review is fully dependent on my job performance so I have to maintain good reviews for the periods of which my employer will review
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...
The objective of this paper is to disclose how my career aspirations will align with the Adult Education program. The Adult Education program is important, because it provides a source for me to exercise my professional purpose. “Helping adult learners become successful one student at a time” is my professional purpose. I strive to make a difference in other lives, which drives me to contribute more than I have personally. Helping others motivate me to reach beyond my immediate means to other resources that can help adult learners to become successful.
Goals such as getting a high GPA or even to pass a certain class correlates to being able to learn in school. When my Freshman year came around my goal was to do well in school; I began educating myself in and outside of school. Settings goals had me acquire knowledge and that is one of my experience of education.
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
Globalisation allows individuals, groups, corporations, and countries to reach around the world farther, faster, more deeply, and more cheaply than ever before. Most large local companies regard globalisation as opportunity, thereby exploring overseas markets for maximum market share and optimum business strategies. However, managers would face a series of challenges caused by leadership models, cultural backgrounds, political and economic risks, HR management, etc. To study multinational management skills is very useful for my future career. In this essay, I will set goals for this subject, identify the skills I have honed and need to improve, and explain my strategies for achieving goals.
When Carson cites Schweitzer, she is referring to the “devils”, or harmful, unnatural creations of man that dramatically alter nature, that often go undiscovered or avoided. She is specifically referring to the contamination of air, plants, earth, rivers, seas, and organisms with dangerous lethal materials. Additionally, Carson is referring to the ways in which man physically alters the environment such as importing plants that are non-native, or invasive, and practicing agricultural monoculture. The point Carson is trying to make is that the effects of humans unnaturally altering the environment produces a chain reaction that eventually harms the causes of the damage; humans themselves.
Life is becoming fast paced, in fact, our lives have never been busier then we are today, and this is the number one reason why we need to master the power of self-reflection. What are the benefits of self-reflection? How can self-reflection enable me to achieve my goals and new years resolutions?
Imagine having the ability to motivate a workforce using an internal catalyst that all human beings possess. This internal drive is at the very core of Drive by Daniel Pink. Pink suggests that the business world does not explore the internal human drive that motivates us in the current day. The key concepts related to the topic of motivation gained from the book Drive are autonomy, mastery and purpose (Pink 2009). Motivation is the reason or reasons; one has for acting or behaving in a particular way, the general desire or willingness of someone to do something. Accordingly, the reasons vary from person to person as each person has his or her individual needs and drives to motivate himself or herself. Drive suggests a new way to ponder motivation, removing the antiquated concepts of encouragement, and reinventing incentives through a long ignored scientific lens
Ethics is basically a set of moral values and principles of one’s own or an organization. It is diagnosticating between right and wrong matter. Ethics is derived from a Greek word ‘ethos’ which means character or habits. ”Ethics is not definable, it is not implementable, because it is not conscious, it involves not only our thinking, but also our feeling.(Setzar 1709-1784)”.However, ethical values could be different among different individuals or personalities as everyone has their own precedence in life and also they have different cultures, religion , nation and nurturing according to which they prioritize their values. Moreover, these ethical values play a vast role in attaining certain goals in life either personal or professional. Goal is basically a result or achievement that one tends to acquire in life. But one shouldn’t earn his/ her goal on the cost of their ethical values. I believe that everyone should have specific plans to achieve desired goals in life but one should always emphasize on his/her own ethical values while making these plans to achieve goals. Many people however set a certain time limit to fetch their goal. I have various goals in my life that I wish to accomplish in my life. First of all I would like to discuss my personal goals. Personal goals are really important in one’s life to have a happy present and pleasant future. Personal goals are what one wants to see himself/ herself in person. My Personal goals are firstly to fulfill all the promises that I have made with my family. My family is in first place for me. I want to make my family proud of me. My father is my ideal as he is a very kind person a very good husband, a very good son and the best father on this earth. I really want to be like my...
I remember looking back at being a freshman and telling myself I wanted to be at the top of the class. I set those small short term goals such as to take all advanced measure courses and to retain straight A’s on my report card. Every year I started new, but kept the same vision. I focused strictly on school and three years later, I am currently ranked second in the class. The long term goal I had then and viewed as years away has already become a reality.
I. My goal was to change my physical activity behavior by performing at least 30 minutes of cardio, at least three times a week. I was not completely successful as I did not meet my goal for the first two weeks, but I did meet my goal for the latter half of the project. The hardest part for me was just starting and getting into a routine. But once I got into a routine I actually started looking forward to when I would go workout and used it as a way to take a break from homework or studying and as a way to energize myself.
In the college success strategies (COLL 101) class, we had explored various areas of future possibility. Throughout the quarter, We sketched out the big pictures of the future. We identified potential destination and explored the path to get there. In this reflection essay, I would like to talk about and reflect on personal development throughout the quarter.
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...
Achieving any goal requires self-discipline. It involves a conscious awareness of our actions and the ability to overcome some of the bad habits that might be holding us. Instilling self- discipline into our lives is not easy task.
Life is something that cannot be measure or rated, because each person has a different importance to one person than to others, from there come the influence and the real value that we can give to other person´s life, so if we think on this, as others can be important and have influence in our life, same way our life is important and we can influence others by the way we live.
