High School Goals

The purpose of this proposal is to let people know that high school dropouts is an issue in today’s society. At the present time, every year 1.2 million students drop out of high school. The average age that students dropout is between sixteen and twenty-four years. Students drop out because of either personal factors, family factors, and community factors or all of the above. Drop out students should be encouraged to finish high school because non-graduates fail to succeed in life.

All throughout school, students are ask what we want to be when we grow up. Many of us know or have a pretty good idea, but others have no clue what they want to pursue as a career in life, whether it be furthering their education at a university or attending a technical school. There are other students that plan to start work right out of high school. Either way we all have a plan, and the purpose of this paper is to inform you of mine. I personally struggle in making big decisions like deciding what to do with my life, but then I realized I have been asking myself the wrong questions. Instead of asking what I want to be when I grow up, I asked myself what do I want out of life? what are some of my goals that I wish to achieve? This led

Graduating from high school is not an easy task, it could be a struggle academically and socially. By graduating high school, I learned that if I stay focused and determined I would be able to make it through college and life. Graduating from high school can provide many opportunities it can affect people in different ways. Graduating high school can allow students the ability to get a job, the chance to go to college, and it can positively impact self-esteem. Graduating high school can provide additional opportunities that wouldn't be available without a high school diploma.

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.

“Every year, over 1.2 million students drop out of high school in the United States alone. That's a student every 26 seconds – or 7,000 a day. 25% of high school freshmen fail to graduate from high school on time.” But this year, as I talked to my fellow seniors about their future plans, I never once heard, “I’m not going to college.”

Other than graduating from high school, I believe all high school seniors have specific goals in mind that they set for themselves to achieve before they graduate and move on to their lives outside of the seclusion of their parents. I have set both school and career goals that I wish to fulfill before graduating both high school and college.

Throughout the course of my high school career I have many goals I would like to pursue. One of those goals includes being accepted into both a two and a four-year college so I can hold a Bachelors degree in Science. When I do get accepted into the two and four-year colleges, I plan on working while attending school. Although this goal may be challenging, depending on my classes, I’m going to need a job to support myself. My GPA in college will maintain a 3.7. My field of study will consist of a Radiology program as well as an Ultrasound program to become a Radiology tech/Ultrasound tech. These two fields will allow me a greater chance of finding a job, plus it will supply more yearly income. After college I will be using the knowledge I gained

A high school diploma is important to my future in many cases. The main reason why it is important to me is because it will produce a sense of happiness. My family will appreciate me for completing a long-term goal. Having to keep a high school diploma for the rest of my life is a great way to start an outstanding living. I will be eligible to continue my education in a college if I choose to do so. There will be so many opportunities that I will be able to participate in. A diploma is such a big deal to myself and to everybody that is close to me. The last step to begin a new journey.

In a rural area just outside of Chicago, 150 students marched at the graduation ceremony. That is a far cry from the 300 students that enrolled as freshman just four years ago. This is not an inner city school, but it is a reminder that there is a crisis in our nation. The high school dropout problem is everywhere. Speakers at graduation ceremonies talk about the aspirations and big dreams of the graduating class. No one ever mentions or notices the bleak futures of their peers who chose to dropout before receiving their diplomas. The reasons for dropping out vary by race, sex and community. Teenagers live in the present moment, never looking too far ahead to realize what the consequences could be if they left high

I wasn't always the successful student in the class nor was I motivated to succeed. At the beginning of freshman year, I managed to pass all my classes with mostly B+ and C's but it quickly change my sophomore year. I was starting to learn more about the college process which was mainly about GPA and sat requirements, personal essay, letters of recommendation and most importantly extracurricular activities. Colleges love students who got involved in their communities to make a difference. So I started to stay focus in school and created a goal to receive all A's in all my classes until I graduate. I began looking for afterschool clubs or programs to join when I came across a leadership program called student voice collaborative, I couldn't

As one can see in the past staying in school was mandatory and people were looked down if one did not finish school. Now in days’ students are quick to drop out and more parents are allowing it to happen. The rate of students who attend school and drop- out is tremendously high. As a student who thought about dropping out due to many encounters in life, but chose to stay in school and get an education changed who I am today. After all, each individual has a different perspective of whether high school should be mandatory both know it can only better one self. Attending high school will have challenges along with, but make it worth going for.

Considerations- If you earn a diploma you are certain to have a better life than a drop out. You will have not only self-confidence but more money and job opportunities.

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

I want my first year in high school to go very well, and in order to do that I need to set some strong goals. My goals cover my academics, sports, involvement, and social life. The academic goal I have is to get at least an "A-" in every subject, just like I did in 8th grade. Having at least a 3.6 GPA by the end of the year would be a very significant achievement for me. I plan on growing a strong and healthy relationship with all my teachers. Sports and clubs are going to be a very significant part of my year. I intend to have a great cross country season and also get a lead role in the school play this spring once cross country season ends. Signing up for the bowling club is also one of my biggest desires this year. I want a be an active

During my freshman year i have accomplished many goals. A few of my goals was to learn basic life support such as CPR, BVM, and Medical Assessing. These goals were not completed in my course introduction to Health Technology they were complete during a EMT course in Danbury Hospital, But if it wasn’t for Health Technology I would’ve had a harder time understanding a lot of the procedures, terminology, and theory. One of my overall goals is to become a Medical Doctor which requires four years in medical school and then complete 3-7 years of residency training, before eligible for medical licensing.
