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
Being the first one to attend college in my family has pushed me to continue my education. Now in today’s society a college degree is so important. I want my parents to be proud of me, and be happy with my high level career after college, and that starts with my education. I also hope to be an influence on my younger brother and show him that a college education is important. He looks up to me, and I need to be a good role model for him. I truly just want to get the best education and job for myself worth and make myself happy.
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
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.
The next set of goal setting importance is my personal goals with the first being to over come the obstacles associated with returning to school.
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.
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
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.
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
