Throughout my life I have constantly faced challenges and set reasonable goals. Many of the goals I’ve set are short term and require multiple steps to achieve. One of those personal goals is to finish out the senior school year by taking advantage of as many opportunities as possible. As new chances come along throughout the school year, whether they be educational or extracurricular, my ultimate goal is to participate in as many of those activities as I can. My educational short term goal consists of the college process. The plan is to graduate high school with all the required forms and applications needed for college. All of these preparations have been inspired by the hope of a bright future and the idea that college will be much …show more content…
easier and a lot more fun if I stick to these goals. There are also many long term targets that I have made to further benefit my future.
Many of these long term intentions involve a well workout out solution to a present problem. Working on the farm this summer to pay for college is one of my long term targets. Setting money aside for college takes time, dedication, and plans for the long future. Once I have started college, my hope is to finish out my education all four years and enter into the MeCop Engineering program offered by Oregon State University. My cousin Riley has been one of the most inspirational people I’ve ever met. It’s through him that I have the attitude to accomplish these long missions set before me. He has taught me to always give my 110 percent in everything I do, and to work hard to obtain my dreams.
From the help of my teachers, family, and friends I have taken many of the necessary steps in completing my long and short term objectives. Because I have chosen to take hard classes in high school and get involved in numerous activities, I already have credit for many college classes. Another way that I am clearly prepared to achieve these goals set ahead of me is through the organization and responsibility of keeping up with my grades and getting college applications in on time. Ultimately, every educational and personal step in the right direction has been beneficial in finishing the goals I have set and preparing me for what lies
ahead.
As I reflect on my college life, I wonder about the choices I have made that have led me to where I am today and that will guide me into shaping who I long to become. The things I have had to sacrifice, the support and experiences I have had with family, friends, strangers and work colleagues. I don’t know what I will be doing three months or thirty years from now but I do know that I want to have new experiences. When I graduated from high school, I knew I didn’t want to be that person that moved back to the same town and stayed there for the rest of my life. I even contemplate leaving the United States in my adult life. Who really knows, maybe those cards are still in the deck. For now, I know my immediate goals include focusing on completing my college education the best I can, and moving away from my comfort zone, broadening my horizons and taken risks.
Growing up, my parents never expected perfection but expected that I try to accomplish my best. The effort I’ve put forth in learning has been reflected in my grades throughout my high school career. I’ve entered myself in vigorous course work such as AP Government and AP English to become well prepared for my college career, all while maintaining a 4.4 grade point average this year. Not only do I engage in AP classes, but up until this year I had no study halls. I wanted my day to be packed full of interesting classes that I would enjoy learning about. My grades and choice of classes prove the effort that I put forth in my learning. Working hard now can only pay off in the future. Learning now creates a well-rounded human being. Working to learn is why I am so dedicated to my studies now.

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...
College success has become a most desirable goal. However, many students struggle through college. In fact, according to the Website Ask.com, approximately 15 percent of college students receive a degree. Because I’m willing to earn a degree like many other successful students, I find that college is the stepping stone to my dream goals. I know that college is difficult, but I realize that attaining my dream of a college education will require me to understand the benefits of what I’m learning, to prepare for obstacles, to seek advice, and to create effective and reasonable strategies will help me achieve my goals.
There are many things that I hope to accomplish and do when I get older. I want to improve and accomplish different things for myself in my career that I choose, in my material goals, and spiritually. I'm looking at the year of 2009, I will be out of college and be on my feet, hopefully. I have high expectations for myself and hope to accomplish as many of my dreams and goals as I can throughout my life.
As I am preparing for a new chapter in my life, I have put a lot thought in about what I want out of life and what to look forward to as I get older. In order for one to achieve anything, they need to set goals to reach for. I have a handful of goals for my future, short term and long term, that I will actively work towards in my college years and beyond. In my time at UW Eau Claire, I plan to be involved and engaged in student activities on campus. Being active will help me meet new people, build a better resume, and have fun at college. At UWEC, I would like to get involved in anything musical, along with various clubs and Greek life. Similarly, another goal of mine is to have a job on campus. Having a job will not only help me make some
My determination to succeed academically has positively increased due to taking college courses in high school. The drive that dual enrollment has helped me develope has expanded my resume and school involvement. For example, I have become
The image of graduation is on the mind of many seniors, all waiting for that one moment, where we can say “we did it!”, and we can continue on with our life. Some will continue to broaden their education through vocational school, community college, or the average 4-year university. My life plans include the latter, as I am expected to be going to Michigan State University in the fall of 2017, an experience that I face with excitement and worry. University isn’t a cheap option to consider, not only does it cost the price of a small house after four years, it takes lots of time, but time I am willing to put forth in order to continue my education and help the community through my degree and profession. At the moment, I am still unsure about
Throughout high school, I have achieved and strived for many goals. Everything I have done in high school such as sports, clubs, and community service, is all leading up to my future after high school. Although I only have a few short months left as a senior, I still have many goals I am determined to accomplish. For example, this spring I will be finishing my fourth and final season of tennis; consequently, I am working hard because I would like to make it out of sectionals. There are myriad educational goals I also need to complete before I graduate.
I’ve stayed up long hours, studied different subjects, and untimely put my heart and soul into receiving one rolled up piece of paper. My goal is to get my diploma on June 9, 2017. In order for me to do so, I must complete the rest of my credits, which includes a history class, an english class, a math class, and a business class. Now this doesn't include cost, in order to graduate I must spend a few hundred dollars for a cap and gown, formal clothing, and invitations if I choose to do so. This is all very much achievable because I have been putting in the work and saving the money to complete my long term, soon to be short term, goal.
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
Looking back on the last seven weeks of this summer, I realize that I have learned a lot. I have learned more than how to write twenty-one different genres. I have also learned important life lessons that were not spelled out in the curriculum. To me it’s hard to believe that only 3 months have gone by since the last time I cleaned the salt water off my tools and dive gear. At that time I wasn’t going to miss working in a muddy river on forty year old submarines.
I have taken many roads to where I stand today in life. Some werent easy but they have passed and modelled me into the young man I am today. The journey to my self discovery isnt over theres much more to go. I wasnt alone on this journey i had family and friends who helped me along the way. I have a certain place that i am in life right now and what i am in life right now.
In the proceeding five years I would like to accomplish a number of things. One of the most important goals for me at the moment would be graduating high school and moving forward to graduate from a four year university in the state of Nebraska. In order for me to achieving this, the way I move forward in high school is critical. Throughout my years of high school I have focused much of my attention on taking classes that are either advanced, or at college level. I have taken two AP courses and one dual enrollment course, along with numerous honors classes in my three years as a high school student.
