Over the course of a college student’s time at a University, they set goals for themselves to fulfill by the end of their journey. These goals can not only have a deadline set at the end of their undergraduate years, but can overlap into their masters programs or even their doctorate programs. These goals may include having a GPA goal, which degrees you will have earned in an allotted time, and so on. My goals at the end of my time here at the California State University, Northridge is to start my year by moving on from this semester with at least a 3.2 GPA in order to acquire some merit-based scholarships. Afterwards, I will continue to excel and graduate from here with the highest honors possible. This is one of many goals I have set for …show more content…
goals for themselves. By the acronym, he meant that the goals needed to be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-sensitive. It’s important to give oneself a deadline to create the feeling of importance. By setting specific and individualized objectives, it’s much easier for one to focus on it and succeed with flying colors. This is exactly what I am doing with my current goal: finish off the second semester of my first year of my ongoing college career with a 3.2 grade point average and above. This allows me to focus all my attention on completing this somewhat simplistic task. However, I’ve come to realize that while it is important to look at the task at hand, one must also prepare for the near future. This supports my overall goal because by achieving a higher GPA, I’m able to enter more programs based off of my success and …show more content…
However, I do plan to take my plan further and not just stop with that objective. I would like to utilize my degree in ways that I could help myself while helping others. It’s not only important to start with having high marks in your classes, but to also end with exceptional grades as well. During my time in high school, I was pushed not only by teachers, family, or friends to perform to my best ability and to work to the fullest. I was motivated by myself and worked to be as efficient as possible when faced with a seemingly difficult task. I’ve learned that it’s important to utilize skills that one learns through experience, lest it be forgotten in a time of need. If I never learned how to produce such goals for myself, I would not be as motivated to push myself harder and harder as I am now. However, motivation is definitely a common difficulty when you are charged with executing certain tasks you
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...
Using my social care work placement (Sense Scotland) as a reference, I have compiled a report which fully covers effective team working in care settings. The report consists of a three-part structure, which documents: the factors which contribute to good team working, the importance of interpersonal skills, and the contribution of performance review and goal-setting to the success of any organisation.
I am constantly trying to go the extra mile in order to better myself and my education. After my last spring semester my GPA was too low for my liking, so I took two classes over the summer in order to improve it. My education is immensely important to me since I know that I have to do well in order to achieve my goals. I intend to graduate with my bachelor’s in Anthropology and then
Setting goals is the most important thing you can do in your life. Without goal's you are going to have no direction, no ambition to be successful, no drive to stay in school, and trouble finding a career that will provide for you. Without these three things, achieving your goals is going to be one of the toughest tasks in the years to come.
I started my college career without a clear objective. In my youth once things became hard I stopped preforming and moved quickly on to another goal. I was not focused and felt I lacked the dedication needed in order to successfully preform in academic life. I was able to get by and graduate but my GPA suffered.
As a high school senior, over the years I have had multiple opportunities to put myself out in different organizations and activities. Throughout my high school career, I have done just that and managed to stay on top of my academics while enjoying the extracurricular activities. Education has always been my main priority, and is the reason as to why I am going to continue furthering my education at college. The long-term goals I have in my life are just important as the short-term goals, and are the motivation for my schooling and what I do with the rest of my time. Abraham Lincoln once said, “The best way to predict your future is to create it” I couldn’t agree more.
I am a smart, hardworking and organized student with a 3.81 GPA, who wants nothing but success in life and won’t let nothing or no one stop me. I do have many projects that I will be facing in the near future, but the first project that I will be facing is finishing college and getting my college degree. While I am on this journey on getting my degree I have to remember what’s important. The steps I am going to take to make sure I get my degree is I will get help when I need it, stay on track and stay focus. They say it doesn’t matter how long you take to get your degree, as long as you get it.
To begin, after my years here at UT, I truly desire to receive my Bachelor of Arts degree in criminology with a minor in psychology. I also desire to have a job opportunity because of participation in internships during my junior and/or senior years. Throughout the rest of my time here at UT, I hope, want, and must work towards maintaining my 4.0 GPA by continuing to get A’s in all my classes. Also, I hope, want, and must work towards not procrastinating so much because procrastination is one of my bad habits.
I aspire to further my education so I can aid people on another level, their emotional level to better their lives. No plan is concrete; nothing ever turns out exactly the way we want it. There are times when there are millions of things piled upon us. People in general stress too much.
“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
To demonstrate ambition towards my academic performance is an important part of being a professional college student. I am determined and I will remain faithful in the accomplishment of my anticipated outcome towards my academic
Everything I decided to do during and after my sophomore year was and still is to excel in education. To me, it’s all about exposure. The more of the world I see and absorb, the more I can understand why I want to be what I want to be. I want to be a medical doctor to aid people who need to be informed and educated about their health. Future generations rely on the mothers and the mothers rely on doctors who are educated enough. I want to be able to understand our impact on the environment so I can make a difference on how we use our resources and how the future will use their resources. I want to distinguish how human life impacts Earth and vise-versa. Nothing can be achieved without education. The way I see it education never stops, although I plan to accomplish the highest level of education I also plan to exceed that.
I did not fail any of my classes and instead received good grades for my perseverance. As an immigrant to a new country, my greatest barrier is English. Consequently, I had to go to tutoring and work three times more than native English speaking students. But despite the frustrations, I never allowed myself to give up. I never stopped striving for excellence. I worked very hard and took advantage of extra credit opportunities, even though I was already earning a good grade in the course. My short-term academic goals are graduating from Cosumnes River College in Spring 2019 with an Associate of Science degree. I plan to start my bachelor degree next fall at CSU, Sacramento and graduate in spring 2022. I am motivated to succeed because my degree is not only for me but also the epitome of how far my family has
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. My dream and passion is to study Biology at the GREAT Bethune- Cookman University and to be a doctor who will not only help my community here in America but also for my families in
