On June 3rd, 2015, I found out that I didn’t get my diploma. Any and all kinds of emotions were going through my head. So much can change when you don’t receive your diploma. I had all the requirements to get my diploma, except for the FCAT. This one test was holding me back from chasing my dream, but I wasn’t going to let it stop me.
I walked the stage with the rest of my classmates and received a letter of completion. I knew I wasn’t going to receive my diploma because I didn’t pass the FCAT. So many thoughts and emotions were rushing through my head, especially seeing everyone else receiving their diploma. All of my family came to support me at Graduation. I felt so embarrassed that they witnessed me receiving my letter of completion, not

Ever since I was little girl, I wanted to help children and adults with their health. Making sure that everyone is okay and healthy really means a lot to me. Knowing that I can make a difference in someone’s health and make them happy, makes me happy. In order to pursue my dream, I have to get my diploma and go to college to get my degree.
This experience has taught me to never give up. I couldn’t imagine where I would be at in life if I gave up on myself. I don’t want to settle for a job that I don’t really want and that doesn’t give me good pay. I know work can be stressful, I just want to at least be happy with what I’m doing at work. I am very passionate about my work and I work hard to get to where I want to be in life.
In life, things will not always go the way you plan on it. You still have to try and think positive. If it wasn’t for my friends and family, I wouldn’t have tried so hard. You have to fight and work hard for what you want in life. No one is just going to hand over everything you need. If I could go back in time and find Fresh Start sooner, and do these classes to get my diploma, I would already be set in college right now. If I could go back, I wouldn’t have got so discouraged and just kept trying just a little bit longer. I am just glad to have a chance to achieve my
It was the fourth year of my school carrier. In other words, the year of truth if I would make the cut to the higher education track. I was nervous because I knew that I would be capable of going this route, but I the feeling of concern was stronger because I haven’t had performed very well in my fourth year so far. At the end of the school year, I received the shocking news that I didn’t make the cut to go to the school which would have had allowed me to go to University later on in my life. I was sad, disappoint in myself, and lost self-esteem in my educational abilities. At this time, I was more embarrassed then able to realize the real benefit of a system which early on tracks children’s
The style in which characters in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby conduct their relationships shows how ambition and lack of it causes destruction.
I could begin by saying that I choose nursing to help people, but then I would be following behind the other million people who say they chose nursing for the same reason. Even though I want to help people, I chose nursing because I wanted to inspire, to teach, to learn, and to make an impact on my patients, their families and also in society. I will not say nursing was always my first choice, but I ultimately choose nursing because nurses not only care, but they also volunteer despite their busy schedules, are constantly learning, and are always giving back to the community. The cliché for choosing a career in health care is a need to help people, but I wanted to do so much more than just help people. I want to make an impact on someone’s life. A lot of what many people don’t understand is that nurses aren’t just there to help the sick, but the title of nurse comes with an array of jobs ranging anywhere from caregiver to educator. I choose nursing because my philosophy, my values, and my beliefs, guided me to a profession in which
Being in the position where I am able to help people and make a difference in someone's life has been a goal of mine since elementary school. Within the medical field, I figured I could achieve this. I have looked into many different options that the medical field has to offer. Something about nursing just stuck out to me, but I knew I wanted something a little bit higher than just being a nurse. This is why the number one career that I want to pursue is as a Registered Nurse.
May 14, 2011, I received my Bachelor’s in Business Administration from Tarleton State University. This day was full of bittersweet emotions. I Jose Servin felt accomplished, I became the first male in the family to receive a Bachelor’s degree. The days leading up to the graduation, I began to feel overwhelmed with emotion. The feeling of being embraced by a proud family, I was unsure how I would react. I remembered in my high school graduation, I was overwhelmed with emotions. I made it a challenge to not be overwhelmed with tears after the graduate ceremony. The ceremony finished, the moment arrived when my family embraced me and I did not cry, I just kept smiling at everyone that congratulated me. Seeing the family being proud of me gave
“Never underestimate your own strength. You were born for a purpose and are blessed with the power to achieve it” (Leon Brown). I have this quote printed out and on the wall next to my door so I can see it every day as a reminder to myself. I believe that we all have a purpose on this earth and that everything we go through on the journey there has a reason whether to teach a lesson or set an example. We have places where we want to end up and goals we want to achieve. We set these goals and dreams to help us fulfill the purpose we see for ourselves. I believe my purpose is to help people in their times of need. To fulfill my purpose, I will need to use my personal, academic and career goals to create a pathway to get to where I want to be
My life has not always been as bright and promising as it is today; I had no idea where my life was going, or how I would possibly be able to attend college at all. Since I was a child, my self-esteem has always been low, and any time college was brought up, it simply made my confidence drop even further. I never believed I could handle college, and never thought I would even be given the opportunity to attend.
I felt as if I was on a different planet, as much as I tried to understand I was still lost in the woods. That day I got home nearly in tears because I didn’t want to fail the math class, for a second I thought about quitting, but then with a positive attitude, I decided to give it a second opportunity. College was different from high school, attending College is like going to a shopping center, the same people enter the same store, but many of them don’t know each other, and the classroom walls are plain white, no painting or decorations. The students are responsible for their actions, assignments and attendance if they pass or fail their class is their responsibility. Returning to school is a whole new experience, in a way I felt excited to be able to expand my knowledge and prepare for a better future. On the other hand, I am blessed with more responsibilities than just school. Now I am compromised to my kids that depend on me. It’s not just homework, also helping my kids with their homework, doing laundry, cleaning the house, and caring for my kids. To be honest, it’s not easy attending college it’s like having another child. I commit to my classes and assignments, just how I do it with my children. Attending college and being a mother, a spouse, and an employee does squeeze my energy. I knew it wasn’t going to be simple, but I also knew it was not impossible. I continued my education, and I know taking baby steps will benefit my future. “The capacity to learn is a gift; the ability to learn is a skill; the willingness to learn is a choice.” (Brian

I am confident you will find the results of the report useful for evaluating the progress of my educational and career goals.
I knew I had hit rock bottom when I received my grade card and most of my grades where Cs and Ds. I was so disappointed in myself, things were not going the way I had at all imagined. But why was I upset? The grades I received were my choice, I could have gotten As but I lacked enthusiasm greatly. It wasn't until my junior year, which I'm currently in that I set a goal to be the absolute best version of myself. My junior year I realized that I wanted to make a difference in society and the only way to do that was to start with myself. I told my parents that it was time for me to go back to regular school. My parents and I both knew I had been well underperforming in my past years. But instead of hanging on to the past, I’m working to build an even stronger future for myself. My drive begins with accepting my flaws, I will never stop reaching for my
I have worked for many years taking care of people. I have worked with the young, old, healthy and sick. Also, I have a wonderful personality and very easy going. Working with people whom I can help really makes me happy. Achieving my long-term goals will be easy because of my skills, characteristics, and experience.
Many people tend to set goals. They can set goals for their personal life, academics, or even for their professional lives. You can literally set a goal for pretty much anything you can imagine. I believe that people should set goals, they help you stay focused and want to do better for the future. Goals change all of the time though, because of a lot of different reasons, maybe you found that one thing just really is not what you want to do with your life, so you find something else to do. To me that is just how life is, my goals will most likely change as I am getting older and trying to find what I want to do with the rest of my life.
I didn’t realize how important my education was until midway through my sophomore semester. I didn’t realize how much it would affect my later education like my GPA. I just wish that I could have been a more serious student in the beginning. I wish it wouldn’t have taken me almost two years to become the student I am today. It took a lot of extra work and stress that I could have avoided.
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.
During the speeches, I kept looking at my family and I could feel their happiness when I saw all of them. They were all so proud of me, and this was my happiest moment that day. Before I could process that this surreal thing was truly happening, my row was standing up to get their diplomas. As if you could have heard yourself think with all of the chattering, I felt my heartbeat in every part of my body and every emotion rushed through me as the guidance counselor announced “MaKayla Jaye Horne,” to get my diploma. My brain felt fuzzy as I rushed back to my seat as quickly as the length of my gown would allow. Considering everything that had been going through my mind, after the ceremony closed I found my family to take pictures with them. I found my best friend, and we both cried. Once I had socialized with a few schoolmates and hugged my favorite teachers for the last time, I told my family I would meet them at Pizza Plus to eat. Being the girl that claimed so many times that I would not cry at graduation, I sat in my car and cried my eyes out before I met my family. I felt my heart sinking like a piece of me had died during the ceremony – and I guess in some way it
