My Personal Goals as a Student

My Personal Goals as a Student

An obvious goal as a working adult returning to school is, of course, to earn a degree. My overall goal is no different than any other student, however, I also have several personal goals I hope to achieve while attending the University. Some of these goals are to acquire new skills and enhance my current business abilities, to apply what I learn in the classroom to forward my career, and to feel personal satisfaction of finishing something I started.

Already having experience in the business world has proven to me that it is essential to have skills to maintain and improve daily functions. Three skills I’d personally like to improve on are my organizational, time management, and presentation skills. At my place of employment for the past five years, I’ve noticed that as I gain more and more responsibilities, it becomes harder to remember appointments or find items on my desk. The need to become more organized is quickly becoming a necessity. If I were more organized, I’d spend less time searching for things and would have more time to dedicate to my new responsibilities. This, in effect, will help improve my time management skills at work which will hopefully rub off on my habits in my personal life. If improvement was made on my organizational and time management skills, I’d hope that I’d feel more prepared and therefore, more comfortable to make presentations in both the classroom and the workplace.

In order to further my care...
