Setting Goals are extremely essential to acquire success. If there is an aim and determination, then nothing can stop from fulfilling the goals. I have always set goals in my life and more specifically, in writing and reading. Before coming to Sac State and taking English 10 and 11, I had few goals which I wanted to fulfill. My ultimate goal in writing and reading is to get advance and go beyond my expertise. I only wanted to obtain new knowledge in writing and reading, but the first year learning goals helped me understand what I need to work on to achieve my ultimate goal. I have learned to read variety of texts and write different styles of writing in English. The work I have done in each semester has fulfilled almost all of the first year learning goals.
Learning new ways of writing and reading is very significant because it helps us become a better writer and reader. Goal#1 is “To help students understand the ways that readers read and writers write in and beyond university.” Some of the texts which I have read last semester which has left a huge impact on me are “Unteaching the Five Paragraph Essay” by Foley, “Mother Tongue” by Tan “Teaching Standard English…” by Christensen and last but

Goal# 3 is “To help students develop a metacognitive understanding of processes of reading, writing, and thinking.” The workshops I have done in English 10/11 are the biggest example of goal#3. The revision plans extremely helps examine the mistakes I have done in the paper. I always have learned something new through the revision and comments of my peers. To be aware of our own mistakes is important because it helps not repeating them again. Other example is the letter I have wrote at the end of English 10 assessing my First Year Learning Goals. The letter showed me where I stand in writing and reading after English 10. It shows my progress towards the First Year Learning
When demonstrating my growth as a writer across several pieces, there are four main learning outcomes in which I have focused on. These include writing, reading, researching and reflecting. Within these learning outcomes, there are many different conventions and ways to understand my various projects and assignments as a writer. Throughout the English 1020 class, I have been able to observe not only my previous strengths, but myself growing as a writer by improving my ability to find strong sources as well as properly citing and explaining them, forming a more logical paragraph structure, and many more conventions when writing an assignment.
This is important in writing as it allows you to reflect on your work as it helps you gage if it is your best work or that revision is needed. Throughout this process homework assignments that had peer review each other’s papers was very valuable as this allowed us the opportunity to give and receive feedback on the work we had done on our projects 1-3. Learning off of each other was a good skill as this helped us prepare a better product for the final submission process. I believe that I still have room for improvement in this field as I sometimes fall short when analyzing my own work and cannot find the mistakes that end up hurting me later on. Overall the reflection and revision part of goal three is very important as it helps build a foundation for the final draft of any paper because it allows us to focus on the problems and critiques in order to make it better for the final
My educational goals are important to me. My goals are to come out of English 100 and be able to write any kind of memo, document, or resume; because I know someday every one of these writing projects will become useful.
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...
In order to succeed in life you must set goals for yourself. If you never set goals or learn from your mistakes you will never push yourself to greater standards. One major goal of mine is to graduate with straight A’s the whole year! I am a single-minded person so when I want to achieve something I will try my best because I always like to succeed. I will work to achieve this goal by studying as hard as I can. I will also always pay attention in school and always ask for help if im confused. This task overall can make me smarter and ready for highschool.
Few people will make the effort to write down goals. Only about 3 percent of adults have clear written goals. These people accomplish several times as much as other people. There's something strange about written goals. They get accomplished. So get to it.
Goals such as getting a high GPA or even to pass a certain class correlates to being able to learn in school. When my Freshman year came around my goal was to do well in school; I began educating myself in and outside of school. Settings goals had me acquire knowledge and that is one of my experience of education.
Going through life everyone needs a goal, otherwise what is the point of life. A goal is most times someone’s ambition or desire. There effort and desire is aiming to reach that goal. The goal is going to want them to wake up in the morning and excel to reach the goal. To obtain their benchmarks and working their way to reach their goal.

The two most important things this goal focuses on is time management and the use of sources. By managing their time efficiently, writers are able to thoroughly comb through the information they want to add and then create a detailed outline. By setting the appropriate amount of time aside to go through sources, the writer can synthesis the most accurate, best sources and evaluate the author 's position and bias. This learning goal helped me individualize my drafting time because I was not being tugged along by a detailed class schedule. The other way I benefited from it was, I know put in more focus to my sources instead of picking the first article on Google. Both of these helped develop my
The goals I set for myself are plenty. There are goals that I am very passionate about. For one, I took a public speaking course this spring semester and loved it. In the letter I wrote that by the end of it I wanted to become someone who could take risks and be a confident individual. Slowly but surely I’m growing into that person. There was a lot of things I wrote that made me realize how upset I was with the person I used to be. I told myself not to be influenced by the media and to make choices for myself. Something that this class taught me to further accomplish. The ways in which my critical thinking has changed is by
Alex’s foster mother shared, “Alex has shown a nasty attitude lately and got nasty with my 3-year-old and I had to get on him about that and I could tell he wanted to say something back, but he did catch himself.”

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 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
