Goal Setting for Academic Success

For my educational plans, I have a clear understanding and vision of where I want to go and who I have the desire to be. For now, I would like to graduate with my Associates in Arts degree in Nursing from Indian River State College. I believe Indian River State is an excellent place to begin my journey and recieve my education in order to better prepair myself for what is yet to come. After I recieve my Associates degree from Indian River, I plan to transfer to the University of South Florida in order to extend my education and potentially recieve my Bachelors and Masters of Science degree in Nursing.

If you want to be successful as a college student you need to understand these three strategies.

Goals are a part of everyday life. From gaining the strength to get out of bed in the morning to winning that blue medal around your neck, everybody has made a goal once in their life. Sometimes it can be as easy as saying you’re not going to eat that last cupcake on the platter in front of you or as hard as saying “Hello” to that special someone in your life that you find adorable, either way you have made a goal. It’s also important to remember there is short term goals and long term goals. Short term goals are easier to achieve and can be very helpful in leading up to your long term goals. We can even classify our goals into personal goals, academic goals, and professional goals, as well as others.

In order to be successful academically there are some things we need to know, goal setting is one of them and maybe not a lot of us know how to meet educational goals without getting side tracked by other things that are going on in our life. I had no idea how much I needed to think about how I would help myself continuing my academic success until this general education class I had to take opened my mind to new ideas. Setting educational goal

I feel supporting students is a collective effort, therefore, my goals are to research programs outside the STS programs in order to provide students with more resources. I will be working with different programs, such as the Career Center, Graduate Division, Study Abroad, etc. to better cater the PPALS population. I now take the time to "self-care". I feel it is important and beneficial to the population I serve that I am healthy. In addition, I understand that there are different populations with different needs, therefore, I try to advocate and support the specific needs to each population. I do this by learning about resources that could aid their transition into UC Irvine. There is always room for improvement. Therefore, I try to learn

Some personal goals that have contributed to my academic successare: 1. Set Priorities 2. Develop a Time Management System. 3. Build Self-Confidence.

Different plants grow in different environments. Their differences are accommodated by their environment. There should be an understanding that students are the same way. Each student thrives in different environments of learning. Alicia is a sixth grade student who is not thriving in her environment. She refuses to participate and becomes anxious at the thought of school. Academically, Alicia struggles to coherently express her thoughts, and she becomes lost in mathematical problems. Alicia is not thriving in her environment. By looking into the specifics of Alicia’s behavior and academic goals, one can see how she will be able to meet her goals and flourish in the classroom.

My academic goal is that I want to visit the French 247 website 3x a week for at least 10 minutes each to improve my French vocabulary. I will measure my goal weekly and every time I use the website. When I go on the website I will look at the time and use it for at least 10 min. I know my goal will be complete when I look at the time and see 10 minutes have passed. I will also measure my goal when progress report cards come out. If I find my goal easy I will use the website 4x a week. Every Monday Wednesday and Friday I will visit the website for at least 10 minutes each day. If I skip a day I will either make it up on the next day or on a regular day. My goal is achievable because every day would be hard for my schedule so that's why I chose

Goals are imperative for individuals to succeed. They can be used in all aspects of life, including university study. There are various reasons why setting realistic goals are important. Firstly, they provide you with the ability to monitor short and long term progress against a desired outcome. Short term goals or milestones are important to maintain an individual's motivation and help them visualise the successful outcome. In addition, goals help to develop time management skills, whilst providing direction and allowing the individual to feel in control. As a mother

Goal setting like this will help me become a better student. I will complete more tasks by making them SMART. I will be able to approach them and measure my progress towards completion. I will be able to achieve them and they will be realistic. I will be able to finish them before a deadline and pace myself in its completion. This will make setting and completing goals much

First of all hello, I’m currently a high school senior planning to attend college in the fall. Goals are described as an aim or a desired result, but they're more than that, they can change a person's life. A goal gives a person hope for the future. Right now I’m going to graduate from high school and the next huge step I’ll take is go to college. Continuing my education and becoming successful in my profession. Being able to cross off my goals one by one

I am pursuing college education because I know it is the way to have a comfortable life in the future. I learned, in the world we live in today we need education. I am grateful to have fee waiver and I will not take it for granted because without it I don’t think I’ll be able to pay my tuition by myself. But if necessary I would work full time and be a part time student just to be able to achieve education.

Goal setting and attainment appears to be a straightforward proposal. You simply come up with an obtainable goal and then you work hard to make it a reality. To begin with I give myself short-term and long-term goals to achieve. Before I joined the Army my short term goal was to achieve the rank of Sergeant (E-5). My next short term goal wasn’t to just achieve the next rank of Staff Sergeant (E-6) I wanted to aim a little higher and make Sergeant First Class (E-7) within eight years, which I did. My long term goal was to ultimately make it to the rank of Sergeant major (E-9). This goal is going to be harder to achieve, but I know as long as I work hard I will achieve that goal. Goals are great, but without follow through these goals will never come to fruition. By breaking down goals into smaller goals a person will gain confidence and can eventually turn those small term goals in long term goals. I knew that I could not just jump to Sergeant Major and that’s why I set small short-term goals to achieve that rank. What is going to make me successful not only in my career, but also in my everyday life is accomplishing one short term goal at a time. To obtain a Goal it requires steps or processes to achieve the desired outcome which, according to Tim Harford, includes failure.

It is about keeping interested in your own career, whatever it is. Academic success is about getting the grades that one wants. Succeeding academically or professionally is about knowing you sacrificed to get what you want and where you want and realizing that hard work leads to happiness. This kind of success, just as all levels of success, is about setting goals and never letting them out of sight. As Benjamin Disraeli said “The secret of success is constancy of purpose.” It is about knowing what you want, doing whatever it takes to get it and never giving up.

Doing something as simple as planning out long and short-term goals helped me get a general idea of steps that I need to take in order to actually reach these goals. My first short-term goal is to make dean's list my first and second semester. I put this as my first goal because it determines whether or not the other two can be achieved. Not only that but academics have always pushed me to do better, and being on dean's list first and second semester of freshman year is something that I take pride in.
