Finishing High School Goals

Little kids everywhere have imagined what they will become as they grow up; a doctor, a musician, a teacher. As an eighth grader, I’ve been given the opportunity to look in-depth at what careers I should consider. Through surveys I’ve learned about my more prominent skills, which has led me to the discovery of paths I should take as I draw closer to high school. As I continue to see my results and take a deeper look at my possible plan for the future, I hope to learn more about myself, discovering a career choice I haven’t considered before, and end up with a better understanding of who I want to be.

Ever since graduating high school many career plans have run through my mind, many of them have been careers that are high risk, high reward type of jobs. I remember one of my teachers in high school saying that students graduating from high school and entering college at the age of 18 are too young to really know what they want to do with their lives, at that time I thought I had my life figured out, but now that I am

To many high school students, college seems like a far away land, a mysterious place where everyone wants to be yet not many know how to get there. As children, our parents tell us how much time we have to think about college, and that it is too far down the line to think about. The truth is it is never too early to think about your future. I, like many people, put little thought into my future career and now am lost in an unfortunate mix of indecision and anxiety. Not knowing where you want to be in the future is a hard burden to bear. Many of us tend to find out that we only know what we do not want, not what we actually do want. Do we want to be poor? Absolutely not. Do we want a boring job? Of course we don’t. We all want our

Many have experienced an encounter as a young child where they are asked what they want to be when they grow up. Answering that question may be easy as a kid because your mind is filled with thoughts of being the unimaginable. As you grow much older, those ideas begin to depart from the mind and you are suddenly more aware of what is and what is not possible in this world. When beginning the most important years of high school, you stop and rethink your career choice numerous times, stressing on who and what you want to be. Many adults such as teachers, counselors, and parents will emphasize the importance of knowing where you want to be in the future during high school, sometimes even middle school. It became imperative that one chose their

College is very different than high school. So many challenging homework and courses to participate in. That is why my three goals for my career are as follows: I want to receive my college diploma, get a better career path, and learn some new things. There are many things I have to do in order to achieve these goals. With hard work and dedication, I am ver confident I can do this.

My goals for this year are to Graduate high school, be successful with track and field, and go to college. When I graduate high school my life would be more successful because I would be able to be off on my own and live life. After I graduate I will be able to make bigger moves and move into my own house and make my own decisions. Making my own decision would be huge choices but it is also apart of growing up and maturing. Graduating high school is the biggest move because you really have to decide on a lot of things. When I achieve that goal you will know because I would have walked across the stage and got my diploma. Now with my other goal, I want to be successful with track because I like running and doing jumping events and it’s my favorite

Very few of us know exactly what we want to do with our lives when we finish high school. Do we want to go to college? Join the military? Find a job just to earn money to party on weekends? Become a couch potato? Like most people I did not have a clue. Sometimes the right situation just falls into your lap when you least expect it. Here is my story. This is how I went down the path to become a professional locomotive engineer. An ideal situation that complements my personality and lifestyle.

When you are at my age, 17, You are really not 100% sure what you wanna do with your life. People say they know. But honestly i don't think they do. You can have an idea about what you wanna do. But not fully know until you get out into the work field and see all the different variety of jobs. I wanna be a welder or a machinist, maybe get a job at SDI. I would really like to inherit the family farm and expand that.

I don’t know what I want to do with my life. One day I want to be a nurse the next I want to be a photographer or a journalist. I am only fourteen. My career after high school is important to me, but not my first priority. Sometimes it is finishing my homework or cleaning my room. I am an organized person...except when it comes to my bedroom. Anyways, I don’t know what career path I will take, but I do know that just because I don’t know what I want to do does not mean that I will not try hard in school.

From an early age in life, people often encounter a common question asked among many which is “What do you want to be when you grow up?” For many this is quiet an easy questions, they know what they like, what they are good at and what inspires them so its easy to answer it. For many not so much, this might be a frustration of many especially during their high school years. Many even think they know what they want but as they start working on approaching this goal the find that they no longer want this anymore. In grade ten, I found myself asking these questions. Where do I want to be in ten years from now? What am I good at? What do I enjoy doing? After thinking about this and asking for different advice o those around me, I decided I

Being able to participate in the Bridges program has always been one of my goals since freshman year. Growing up and just thinking about being first- generation and all I've always felt that pressure of you must go. Hearing about this program gave me so much hope knowing that not only do they help financially (which is extremely helpful) but they also prep me before I actually step in and have someone to help me throughout this long process is the light at the end of my tunnel. With Bridges I would have that extra support and motivation to push harder and set an example not only to my younger siblings but to also my cousins and any other person that knows me. Throughout my high school career there have been many ups and downs. For example a time where I questioned or challenged a belief or an idea would be when everyone began doubting how my future would turn out to be. My dad is a high school dropout and my mom did not go to college. With these 2 circumstances, everyone predicted that I would follow their steps and never be successful in my school life.I challenged this by setting my only goal in my teen life to get great grades and go to college. Till this day I have straight A’s and B’s and am on track to attend college and become a diagnostic medical sonographer with at least a bachelor's degree. To achieve this I am going to attend Valencia College here in Florida for my associates and possibly make my way into Puerto Rico and earn my bachelor's. All though it has

As the day of graduation creeps up on me, the future of college and life thereafter follows closely like a lion cub learning to hunt. In high school, the talk is always, “What are you doing after high school? Where do you want to go to college?” and all I can think of is what is for lunch! It’s difficult to plan ahead for the future when you want your future to be filled with opportunities that span across the whole career spectrum. There are not enough years in a lifetime, days in a year, hours in a day, or even minutes in an hour to achieve the titles I dream of. Choosing my future is anything but simple when I envision myself taking so many different paths.

In order to be considered successful many people believe that one must have a successful career. A successful career can range from teaching jobs, manual labor jobs, business jobs and many more. Like many, ever since I can remember the question of what I wanted to be when I grew up has been asked over and over again. What I have wanted to be has changed multiple times throughout the years. I’m sure at some point I wanted to be a Disney princess like most little girls, and at another point I wanted to be the president of the United States. As the years went on I became more serious, and my career choices did as well. Being an engineer was at the top of my list until I decided I really didn’t like math that much. Being a teacher was also at the top of my list until recently, when Olivet dropped the teaching program. So I had to sit down and ask myself this: What do I want to spend the rest of my life doing?

“What am I going to do with my life?” This is one of the hardest decisions a young adult ever grapples with. A life without an aim is like a ship without radar. Ever since I was a young child I had wanted to be a lawyer, an engineer, a musician, a chef and even a teacher at some point. Choosing a career is a very difficult task at this competitive age. Everyone is driven by a desire to find personal fulfillment along with financial stability with an adverse economy running in parallel makes traditional employment seem just as risky as starting a new business. In fact, given the new economic reality of our time, the perfect job of today may soon lose its appeal in future, so some have wisely come to the conclusion that they would rather

“What should I do after high-school?” a question asked by seniors all over the world each year. “should I work? Should I go to school? What school should I go to?” The unanswered questions that follow high school are numerous for many people. I graduated from high school just six months ago and underwent this big choice of what direction to take my life. I saw people all around me stressing for months, making check lists, pro/con lists, the whole nine yards trying to figure what they were going to do with their lives after they graduated.
