Doctoral End Goal Evaluation

Be able to prioritise goals and targets for your own professional development In order to prioritise goals and targets for my own professional development, I look at the influences that have helped me to develop my performance so far and look at what my training has taught me and how it’s reflected in my work.

The professional goals that I have set for myself are to gain internship experience in my field while pursuing my degree along with networking to gain mentorship and interview experience. The personal goals that I have set for myself include gaining more leadership experience and improving on my organization skills to become a more efficient person.

Without the degree that I am pursuing, I will be unable to reach my fullest potential possible for this time and part of my life. It is difficult to continue academically, professionally, and personally if I feel as though I am stuck in those areas currently having a limited education.

I was extremely interested in what the professor was speaking on and what was being discussed. However, I was beginning to doubt whether I wanted to continue in my current field of study, Speech/Language Pathology. I no longer felt I was being fulfilled. There was something lacking. I talked to a few of my friends who mentioned how much money I would make as a Speech/Language Pathologist. I heard what they were saying, but somehow it just did not matter. I had to find the missing link…….

In the paragraphs that follow, I will first provide a summary of the article that details the author’s main ideas and key points and then I
