I can reach my goals and dreams through discipline. There are many goals that I intend to fulfill. At the end of my senior year I hope to have achieved a 3.75 grade point average. If I successfully obtain a 3.75, it will ultimately make it much easier for me to get into college and further my career. I also want to obtain this just because I do not set many difficult goals for myself, so when I do, I feel that I must complete the goal successfully. I have always had the goal of becoming a Wildcat at the University of Kentucky. Nearly my entire family (on my father's side) has at some point attended the university, therefore, feel that I must attend the university as well. …show more content…
The university is a very respected throughout the nation and would look exceptional when I go to apply for jobs and internships after my college career. To get an early start on my life after college, I need to gain an internship with a company for computer software or IT management. From what my parents have told me; getting a job straight out of college is much easier if I get an internship with a big company while I am in college. Since this is the case, I feel that I must start an internship while I am into college because I will need the money to pay off my loans. Even though I have many goals for myself that are possible with a lot of hard work, I also have dreams that are very possible, but they are not fully in my control. I would like to settle down and have a family once my college career ends. I have always wanted to have two little boys that I can play sports with and raise into bright young men. Although it is beyond my control if my future wife has boys or girls, I hope that I can be blessed with two boys. I have always hated the cold weather that we have up north in Indiana, but one of my favorite places in the United States is Florida, and I have always dreamed of living there. I want to live in Florida, but one of the issues is that the job I plan on getting is going to control where I live because of all the traveling that is required through businesses in the field of IT software. There are fifty states in the United States, but, hopefully, I can get lucky enough to live in Florida. Many people who have jobs in either computer software or IT management typically maintain a six-figure salary, and I would like to do the same. I live a very expensive lifestyle and the way I picture myself living in the future nearly requires me to make six figures a year. This is a very important factor to my life in the future, so it has always been a dream of mine to be able to fulfill my expensive way of life. The only way to obtain these dreams and goals of mine is through hard work and a lot of discipline. Through hard work and dedication I will be able to achieve all my goals and, hopefully, keep luck on my side to achieve my dreams.
I am going to focus more on my education, classes, and spend less time with my friends so that I can focus on school. I am going to keep up with all of my assignments and watch my grades so that I can make sure my GPA does not have a chance of dropping. I will make it a point to myself to start talking to many businesses to ensure an early internship spot with a possible future workplace. There are many computer organizations that like to hire people straight out of college, so I am going to start talking to a lot of them. The payroll for most college graduates who come from an internship is typically around $75,000 a year, which is an amazing starting salary. If I discipline myself enough to take care of both my school career and my future work career, it is very possible for me to achieve my dream of making six figures a year. Discipline in life is clearly very important and it is something that I have not fully put to mind yet but I must consider that this is my last year of high school. Discipline is what is going to get me through the rest of my life and keep me off the streets, so I am going to make sure I start practicing it. I have many goals and dreams that I hope become reality in life, and these can become more likely through the practice of hard work and
discipline.
I endeavor to obtain excellence in my academics; I wish to exemplify scholarship by constantly asking the whys and hows of things. I will not let a bad grade define who I am as a student or who I will become. I also want to take the most challenging classes available, not because it will look good on my college application, but because I genuinely love the concept of learning and discovering new things. Education doesn’t end after high school, so I plan to attend university, eager to attain the knowledge to better understand my world: and expand it.
Prompt: In 500 words or more, describe your collegiate experience thus far. How has this experience and the knowledge you've gained influenced what you plan to study? How have they influenced your decision to apply to St. Edward's?
Being the first one to attend college in my family has pushed me to continue my education. Now in today’s society a college degree is so important. I want my parents to be proud of me, and be happy with my high level career after college, and that starts with my education. I also hope to be an influence on my younger brother and show him that a college education is important. He looks up to me, and I need to be a good role model for him. I truly just want to get the best education and job for myself worth and make myself happy.
I currently attend Tennessee State University as a freshman. I plan on majoring in Dental Hygiene. I am the first to graduate and attend college in my family so of course everybody has high expectations from me. My mom and dad sacrificed a lot for me to attend school and get a good education and they taught me that without education you really can’t do much with your life. I want to have a good career and a good degree so I can be successful in life. I want to make my parents happy and very proud of the young lady they have raised. My father’s dream has always been for me to major in Dental Hygiene because of how successful I can be. And my dream has always been to make my dad (my inspiration and my role model) happy. When I started off trying to decide my major I had a very hard time because I honestly didn’t know what I wanted to do. I didn’t want to choose a major that I couldn’t really do much with or find a good job with. I asked my dad for help and he told me that this major would fit me perfectly and we looked up more information about it and we looked up the salary for it too and that’s when I knew I had found my major.
During one of my rides for work at O'SNAP, I passed by a group of students gathered around in a circle on the sidewalk. After dropping off my party, I drove by them to ask if they needed a ride. They accepted, but one of the students was visibly ill. I asked if they needed assistance to get back to their dorm, but they insisted they were fine. Due to the policy of NDSP, student drivers aren't allowed to bring back students who are ill due to insurance policies. The student insisted they were fine, but was unable to maintain balance and felt light headed. There was an unopened water bottle in the vehicle I was operating and offered it to the student. The other students with the student helped me lower the student to sit on the edge of the curb.
Whom are they to tell me what I am able to or not to achieve in life. This is one example of perseverance in my life. People always tell me what they see that I can do in life and never look at the fact that I could do in life. This is my goal because I want to prove everyone wrong, including myself, that I can and will make it into my dream college. As to how I will achieve my goal, it is just a matter of fact that I should push myself through all my classes and obtain a high GPA in order to get into that college. Saying ideas are nothing until they are proven by
Specially for me, because i’m a college student and what I aim for the most is to get a degree and graduate college with a high GPA. obviously, this is not an easy task rather it is very challenging. I push my self everyday to study and do my best in all of my courses without giving up. There are days where I get disappointed from my exam grades and it would feel as if it was useless to study because I can never reach as high as I imagined to aim. I think that the majority of college students struggle with this issue, where they stop and give up for a short period of time that can actually turn into a long and permanent period of time to a point where they drop out of college. This is a major issue for us, and that is why I value willingness and perseverance. We should constantly think about our goals in life and ignore the negative thoughts and whenever we fail we should think of it as a learning
I’ve never had a goal of this magnitude. As I come closer to graduating, the more detrimental my consequences become to me. My more short term goals are to succeed as a student and graduate, perform more admirably during my first year of college, and to transition well into this new chapter of my life. I plan on obtaining my success through discipline. It’s important to uphold the discipline I’ve shown through high school but to be proactive in doing
As long as I can remember it has been my fondest dream (and my furthest goal) to attend college. From the beginning, I knew it would be an uphill climb to gain admission into a prestigious university.
My desire to achieve is what dictates how I spend my spare time. Since my freshman year I have worked a part time job trying to fund the things needed to further my education. During my Junior year I took a full time job working 30 to 35 hours a week trying to save for a college education. My involvement in my work limited the amount of extracurricular activities I could attend on a regular basis, however I managed extremely involved in my church. I spend most of my time working at my church, Calvary UPC where I am involved in church leadership and help with fundraiser planning and execution. I have been working with the church from the time I was 12. I spent most of the time running a cash register and helping set up the fundraisers. At the age of 15 I was offered a role in church leadership. I graciously accepted the offer and started a job in the media department and an usher for the church offering. While I know that the involvement in my church can not take the place of activities at school, I do believe it is responsible for teaching skills that will help me
This academic goal is important to me because I have always had people tell me that I would not be able to do something and at one point I started to believe it, but I had seen a quote by Sugar Ray Robinson that read “To be a champ you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will.” By reading this quote and taking in what he was saying I realized I can not spend time trying to have others believe in me especially when it comes to academic goals. I realized that me graduating from college and getting a degree needs to be a goal I want to accomplish because I believe that I can and not a goal that I want to force others to believe I can especially when they do not believe in
My goal after graduating college, is to start working for a modeling agency. I would like to provide public relations for a modeling agency or be a model scout. Most likely, I will began my career immediately after graduating college. Graduate school will not be a successful step for me, so the best option will be to begin my career. After, reading the assignment about graduate school, I have come to the conclusion that graduate school is not the best option for me. The first benefit, of immediately pursing my career, is the pay. Having been a college student for the last three years, the pay that I receive is barely enough to survive. It is exciting to know that I will make enough money to, at the very least, live comfortably. The second and
“The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way,” declares Robert Kiyosaki (“Desire Quotes”). My desire to attend a school that can uphold my remarkable dream is irresistible. I have a strong aspiration of becoming a neurologist that has specialization in biomedical engineering. Moving to four different families and attending four different high schools, I was able to maintain, my 4.5 GPA. Unfortunately, I could not have the title of Valedictorian even though I had a higher GPA then the Valedictorian of my school. I could have dealt with the decision in a negative way, but I decided to show the society that I am capable of greatness by taking on tasks bigger than myself despite my college acceptance. My success is also tangible in the aspect of what I have contributed on my present campus and community, because I was able to advocate for the students’ concerns at the state capitol. I believe this gave me an opportunity to explore my options, and to discover what I really needed from college such as leadership enrichment and an overall challenge. I know in
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
My journey as a student has always been focused on the path to college and success. Before I even set foot in kindergarten my mother, a college dropout, always told me that “honor roll wasn’t an option” and that I would be attending college in the future and achieving a degree. Most of the time I made these requirements. Most of the time I was awarded honor roll or had a newly edited list of colleges to attend, but sometimes life got in the way of my dreams of achieving success.
