My Personal Goals

My long-term goal with my college education is to complete my Bachelor's degree and eventually continue on to receive my Master’s degree in criminal justice. The first step to complete my long-term goal is receiving my Associate’s degree in criminal justice by May 2017. This goal is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.

Helping in impoverished communities has been a goal of mine for many years now. I go on mission trips to Jamaica for two weeks at a time, every year, for the past three years. These mission trips have shaped me into the person I am today and they have also carved out the path in which I want to lead my life. For many years now, I have wanted to work in a place like Jamaica and provide medical care. This is obviously a long-term goal, because who would let an 18 year old give them medical advice? Having said that, I have a plan on how I am going to accomplish this goal. Built into this plan is many different short-term goals, but in the end my long-term goal is to become a doctor and work in developing countries like Jamaica.

Determination is the main behavior I need to adopt in order for me to achieve my goals. I will have to keep my head up even when I make a bad grade. Not only do I need to keep my head up, but also I need to finish things when I start them. Determination will help me get through these next four years without stressing as much. Adopting this behavior will help me succeed

During my high school years, I can confidently say I have excelled in my academic endeavours. This success is partially due to my desire to learn. I am always intrigued by the lessons and concepts that are at the core of assigned work. My passion for learning has facilitated my learning process; because I am usually interested in the material that is being taught, my ability to retain and understand information is heightened. My academic success is also due to my drive to do the best I can. Since grade nine, I have demanded excellence from myself in all academic subjects. I strived to perform to the best of my abilities in the first high school years so that I would adopt that habit early and take it with me through the senior high school years. Finally, my academic excellence

As we are in a New Year, I have set many personal goals that I would like to accomplish to become a better individual. I have always been a person who set goals, whether they are long-term or short term, I always have them. I like to set goals for myself because goals give me guidance throughout life. Now that a new year has approached, I am focusing on three main goals that I would like to achieve at this time. Those three goals include managing my time better, to keep maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and to continue to remain focus this upcoming semester.

My mother battled mental illness during her life. Unfortunately she lost her battle in September 2013. Since her surprising death I have soul-searched and researched ways to help others like my mother.That introspection has brought me to your program, Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling.

I once read, “to change the system, you have to be the system” -unknown. Determination will take me where I need to go in order to create an impact on the life of others, even if it is only one life I am affecting. For many years I was determined to experience college somewhere outside of Bakersfield however, about halfway through my junior year I realized I could help the people in the city I am from. Opportunities will get me to where I am going and Bakersfield will remain my background. East Bakersfield High School and its staff play a huge role in all that I wish to become as a person and in my career. I come from a family of four, and as the baby of the family one may say the pressure to succeed is intense within myself. My father did not graduate from high school, although he has been rather successful in everything he has done in his life. My mother is the only member of

A big goal I have for myself is to continue growing and developing as a musician. I want to gain as much experience as I can as a music educator as well as a private teacher. I believe in order to be a successful teacher whether it is in a classroom or private studio setting, the more techniques and strategies you have to teach with the more successful you will be. Working with Crystal Malinski at Foundation Music School has been such an amazing and eye opening experience for me. I have observed and learned so many techniques and strategies as well as having the opportunity to interact with students. Something I really want to improve up is reaching out to schools around Fort Collins and asking to observe their music classes in order to get

I am intrested in gaining my Masters (MS) in Psychology to extend my knowledge within this field and make an impact in society. Graduate school will llow me to understand the human mind and how they all function individually. I aim to teach Psychology and become a Academic advisor at a collegiate level. While choosing a path during my undergraduate studies, I knew that anything I decided to do would make a impact in society and that has become my passion. While taking a few Psychology classes during my undergraduate studies, I was very intrigued with my class Social Psychology as it seemed to involve both Sociology being my major and Psychology. I m intrested in helping the community

A long-term personal goal that I have always had for myself is to graduate high school with my academic honors and technical honors diplomas, to get it I had to work my butt off. I had always studied for every test, made sure to at least receive a B or higher on any assignment. The hard work has paid off now because that is the path that I am on now to receiving a diploma. I had a lot of barriers though, like probation and family losses, but I made sure just to focus on me and know that life always goes on and I should

Three goals that I have for myself: my first goal is to pick a major that I enjoy, my second goal is become a part of clubs, and my third goal is keep all my grades up. As I have started my journey through college goals of mine have started to form. Writing them down and setting a time to complete them will help me better my journey and accomplish what I want to accomplish.

My personal goal statement is to achieve, inspire, and conquer all trials and tribulations. I am traveling down a long and treacherous road full of adventure. On this road, I have encountered working for the State of Tennessee, married, two children, two grandchildren, and still working on my education. I achieve to be the best I can be, inspired by the people around me and will overcome anything that comes in front of me.

1) My professional and personal goals are to utilize my analytical mind to be an asset to a company that appreciates my ability

My short term goals include graduating from high school and beginning college in the fall. I am continuing to research different fields of business to help narrow down what I would like to pursue in the future. I also plan to get a part-time job to help fund my college education, allowing me to graduate with as little debt as possible. This will help me achieve my long term goals more easily.

Many people exercise, climb mountains, compete in extreme sports, and the list could go on all to better one’s self. While one may compete against others, the main goal is best personal goals. To me, that is what going to college and gaining a higher education is about. I do not have a family that has forced me to go, or who even will known when I have accomplished my goals. What I have is the experience of exercising my brain, overcoming financial mountains, and pushing myself to what many times feels like extreme limits. A higher education not only allows one to push beyond what one believes they can do, it allows one to be an example of what the next student can accomplish. College and higher education is about the paving of paths
