Goals, Objectives, And Success

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.

These smaller goals can span any amount of time, short-term or long-term (Massey, 2014). Having smaller sub-goals will help make the main goal appear more achievable, and celebrating the completion of each of these sub-goals will serve as a catalyst to keep the student excited and motivated as they continue along their educational journey (Williams, 2014). By not setting smaller goals and missing larger goals, students will get discouraged and feel like failures (Williams, 2011).

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.

Determining the big picture of the goals, selecting activities to help achieve goals and choosing daily tasks to make up the chosen goal is heading in a positive direction (Laureate Education,

“Keep your goals out of reach, but not out of sight.” –Anonymous. All goals in life should be challenging, or a dream you have. Never set the bar too low, to make it easy on yourself, nor set the bar to high, that makes you put yourself under some much stress so it makes it impossible to reach your goal at a healthy state in mater in your life. Having goals in your life helps you picture what you want in the future and what the future has in store for you.

The goals that you have set for your future are called long term goals. Three short term goals I have are, making it to state track, joining NHS and NSHSS, and getting my CNA.

Objectives are the actual elements upon which you take action. Objectives ask and answer two questions. What must I do in the foreseeable future to impact achievement? and What is the logical progression of actions towards achievement?

In the article Aims, Goals and Objectives, Nel Noddings states that “Aims are used not only to derive goals and objectives but also to evaluate them.” (Noddings, Aims, Goals and Objectives, 2007). She also believes that educational aims should be directed towards making the lives of everyone full and satisfying as opposed to changing all people into members of the educational elite (Noddings, Aims, Goals and Objectives, 2007). Reflecting on these points has brought up a facet of the aims argument that I had not previously considered and has helped me identify areas for improvement in my teaching career. 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

Before glancing at the steps to achieve a goal it is crucial to organize a goal plan. One of the methods to organize a goal plan is using the DAPPS principle. The DAPPS principle makes certain a goal is dated, achievable, personal, positive, and specific. Dating a goal is securing that each goal includes a deadline regarding when it has to be achieved. By not dating a goal the odds of actually reaching the goal are extremely slim. Making sure a goal is achievable implies not setting unrealistic goals. For example, when I was seven I set a goal to go to the moon by the time that turns eight. My goal wasn't very realistic/achievable, however, if I executed a goal of learning about the moon would have been an achievable goal. Personalising

Setting goals is the most important thing you can do in your life.

In order to become a world-class engineering student, I will have to expand my goals and prioritize them into categories of immediate, short-term and long-term goals. My immediate goals include completing assignments by their due date, reading the assigned material before it is discussed in class and being fully prepared to face the next day of classes. Short-term goals include doing well in each of my courses, successfully participating in extracurricular activities, and learning about the engineering profession by participating in student engineering societies. Long-term goals include graduating with a bachelor’s degree in engineering, getting a position as an engineer, and becoming a leader within the engineering community as well as the general community.
