Importance Of My Goals On High School Goals

Decent Essays

A goal I set up for myself is not football related, yet it is. My first goal is to achieve a 4.0 grade point average (gpa). To obtain this goal, I need to be a good student throughout high school. I will need to sometimes stay after class and put textbooks away, clean the desks, or even maybe organize papers. This is the easy part. The hard part is doing all of my homework on time, studying for tests, and paying attention one hundred percent of the time. Without football, without you as a coach, I wouldn’t have the motivation to achieve this goal, or any other of my goals. Another academic goal I cooked up is to be on the honor roll. This will give me more to show when I apply to a university after I graduate. I’ll have to complete my volunteer hours every year. If I reach my first goal, the second goal should fall into place. Football has inspired me and given me motivation to try hard at school. If I achieve these two goals, my third and last academic goal will hopefully succeed. The last goal I’ve come up with is to earn an academic scholarship to a four year university. Out of all my goals, this one is the kicker. I hope to play football as long as possible, but earning a scholarship would be just about the best thing I could think of. I will bust my tail for four years in high school to get a scholarship and I realize I will fail at times, but I will not stop trying to reach these goals. The only thing I am scared of even a little bit is failing a class. If I fail a class, I won’t be able to play sports for a month, which feels worse than it is. I’ll also mess up my gpa if I fail, causing me to not get a 4.0, and missing out on a scholarship opportunity. Getting into a university will be a lot tougher if I fail just one class. I will try my hardest not to let that happen. I have also come up with some personal goals for myself that has nothing to do with school. Each of these you have inspired me to think of and attempt to reach these goals. The first one which I’ve been thinking about all season long is to make it to state in football when we are either juniors or seniors. I know it’s bad to think that far ahead in terms of football, but this is something every football player my age and younger
