Being Out Of School

As a senior I hope to accomplish many goals, some of them being in high school and some relating to college. A goal is an aim or a desired result, but may not always be achieved. Going into senior year I have aspirations of going to a good college and working for higher grades.

My first goal and objective is to obtain a collegiate degree. A degree would help me to pursue my career and goals that I have for the future. My main priority is my education, so I am going to Tougaloo College to further my education. I have always had plans to go to college when I was young. Tougaloo seemed to be the right college for me, and it really fit my personality well. It will provide me with the education I need for my future career. The quality of education at Tougaloo is very high, and I will receive a great education while attending. Obtaining a degree from one of the most highest achieving schools would be an honor and privilege for me. I can picture me in my cap and gown on graduation day very happy and proud of myself ready to

The first goal i would like to achieve is to get a GPA of 3.5 - 3.8 or higher and to get honor roll. I will achieve this goal by focusing more on my grades and paying more attention in my classes. This goal is important to me because I want to show my family I can do better this year. When I get the paper that says that you were in honor roll. I will

People say college is the biggest change in their lives. I can only believe this to be true. I would love to find out by attending UW-Oshkosh. I know college will put me outside my comfort zone, but I look forward to the experience. I liked the layout of the campus in Oshkosh and the students I met.

Then, to make friends, find a study group and pass classes. Probably find a job on campus too. I feel that all the involvement I am participating in the better off I will be. Being 2 hours away from home might be hard, but I know I can get through it. After I graduate college I want to work for a company that knows how to take care of their employee’s and their customers. That’s a way to know you are in the right place. Other goals of mine are to show my siblings education, staying out of trouble and going to college is worth it. I’m lucky I realized what I did at a young age.

One, to achieve my degree in Business Management. Two, to learn new experiences and use them in my life. And three, to meet new people and learn from each other. That is what college is all about. Yes, when you first enter college, you might not have anyone you know in your classes but the thing is, that is how it is in the outside. Meeting new people makes you a better person and you learn from that person and you obtain those factors that you do not have; same thing vice versa. This is what I believe. But overall, I want to be able to say I am a proud graduate from UTRGV and be a role model for my family members. Not just current family members but for future family members as well; so they can see that anything is possible if you put time and

In the near future, I expect to gain many important aspects from my college education. The first and most important thing I hope to gain from this experience is independence. In my opinion, having a successful career of your own is one of the best things you can accomplish. The best matter to never have to worry about, is depending on other people. You never know what will happen to you in the future. You always want something to fall back on something and a college diploma is the perfect answer. The last component that I hope to gain from college is a great life experience that I will never forget. This is only my first semester as a freshman, but I can already predict that college is going to give me all of these gifts.

I plan that my senior year should be very successful, and the I exempt my classes. I also plan that I get through the school year with no interruptions. Going to school is very important in the real world and also have your high school diploma. Getting your high school diploma gets you better job in the real world. My goals are keeping my grades up, exempt my classes, and graduate. After I graduate I will be attending Greenville Technically College to take up CNA classes and respiratory.

My heart was no longer in football after 5 years of playing the sport, I only loved it for 3 years out of the 5. How I feel in love, I still remember pee wee and middle school football like it was yesterday. The sound of the helmets cracking on one another, the sweat dripping down my face and body, and the sound of my teammates breathing heavy after running. These were the years where you were excited to go to practice, lift and play Thursdays, but with everything good there is always a bad. High school football changed the way felt towards football. I began to hate the sport that I once loved and wanted to do for a living, if I was given the opportunity. The nonstop hitting and hitting and hitting, the pressure on the knees every time you would block someone, and practices that last for 3-4 hours long every day after school, in 90-100 degrees, and with 20 pounds of pads on. I thought was not worth saying I play for the Devine Warhorses. High school football felt like a job that you are not getting paid to do, having to wake up early to go watch film on the team you’re playing that week, and having to go in for lunch sometimes. When I played high school football I had no social life outside of the football team and had no time to work on what really matters… school. Strong and talented can only get you so far in a sport without being truly in love with it. When your burned out, not having any fun, and dreading for the season to come to an end,

To finally know peace and not all chaos equals happiness. I also hope to gain a closer relationship with God throughout this journey. I am close with him now, but as a Christian the Lord wants us all to grow in his word. He wants us to strive to be like Jesus. No, no one will ever be perfect like Jesus and God knows that, but he knows our hearts and knows just what we are trying to become. And most importantly, I hope to gain the self-confidence I have lost. After the college process comes to an end and I am well aware of how I will begin my future. I am sure everything will begin to fall in place. What if I do not achieve my goals ? I will continue to have faith because through my journey having faith was the main point, and because I do not accomplish my goals does not mean I will lose all that I have gained

Life is a continual learning process, which requires a strong method to develop better ways of apprenticeship. Personally, being able to obtain a higher education gives me an opportunity to be better in many ways. Everyone should have any personal goals in life in order to survive, prosper and succeed in every journey that life gives. As for me, being a University of Phoenix student, I hope to achieve all of my goals on which I have been trying to pursue and obtain through the years. They are goals that I believe I need to have to be a successful member of the society, and through attending the university I also hope to gain a more positive image of myself, build my personal growth, along with achieving

The impact I hope to have in college is that I am helpful and someone who is easy to approach to seek help. I love helping others no matter what it is, if I have the ability to help I want to do it. I hope to be the girl with the contagious smile that makes other smile even in the darkest day. I think that just seeing someone smile or smiling toward you can help lift some sadness from someone’s day. The more you smile the better your day will be, I smile all day and I think it works.

Above all, my personal goals are to learn as much as I can and make my family and myself proud of what I’ve accomplished. I’ve realized that college is a great opportunity to further my education and I want to take advantage of that by taking in as much knowledge as possible. The reason for this goal is to know that I did the very best I could when I graduate college. Not only will that make me proud but it will make my family proud too. Staying motivated, focused, and determined is going to be the key to

Reading outside of class for fun has long-lasting benefits for students. The author states that “if children spend some of their time outside of school reading books they enjoy… they will develop a love of reading whose rewards will be substantial and life-long”. What the author is saying by this is that children who read outside of school for fun have a better chance of improving their reading skills and vocabulary. Also, they grow a hunger for different types of books. Children who read for fun look up to the people they read about. Their imagination grows and they picture themselves becoming who they read about. A lot of children that read do much better in school; by this I mean that they learn how to read faster, increase their

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.
