Based on the number of books and articles written about discovering lifetime goals, it appears that determining and setting goals must be difficult for most people – but it’s not difficult for me. My lifetime goals are to improve the well-being, quality of life, and happiness for my family, my fellow human beings, and myself. I want to realize the goals of lifelong learning and growth. I want to avoid debt and poverty, and to continue to be a productive member of society. My lifetime goals are broad and lofty, but to reach them takes goal setting on a smaller scale. I’ve set and achieved specific goals that have led me to my present goal: attending the University of Texas at Austin and graduating with a degree that will move me further toward …show more content…
Beginning seven years ago, when I crossed over from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts, I began choosing small goals in the form of merit badges, as well as holding leadership positions in the outdoor program and within the Troop. Boy Scouts offers a template for life in which bite size goals lead to great achievement over time. Once I set and achieved the goals of Star and Life Scout, I looked ahead to Scouting’s highest honor: Eagle Scout. Along the way to Eagle, I held increasingly responsible positions such as Patrol Leader, Community Outreach Coordinator, Instructor, and Junior Assistant Scoutmaster. I planned local camping trips and high adventure trips to peaks 3,000 miles away from home. I met with local conservation group members to develop goals for stabilizing community trails through wetlands; then designed and built boardwalks to complete community sustainability goals. Another activity benefitting group goal advancement through individual achievement, is year round club swimming and varsity swimming at my high school. Setting individual and group goals gives experience for later life cooperation in the work place. I have pride in achieving my personal swim goals, but greater pride as a member of my high school and club teams. I plan to continue to swim for fitness, but now I have set goals in another aspect of life that interests
I see myself in a apartment or a house with 2 dogs and 1 cat
In 2008 when I decided to start going to college I had no idea what I wanted to do; besides eventually be a Game Warden. Goals that I laid out for myself were simple at the time. I foresaw nothing that was going to get in my way. I was prepared to breeze right through everything. Personal goals that I had set for myself were to continue on with a happy marriage and lose weight. My academic goals consisted of graduating by 2012 and starting a master’s program right after graduating with my bachelor’s degree. Professional goals were to get my dream career of Game Warden and I wanted to teach EMS students. As life went on things changed drastically and while some of these goals are achieved others have been long gone and some have been pushed to achieve later in
Our goals in life reminds us that we hold the key to elevate ourselves, to reach our full potential of success. Using that key we unlock the door to success, testimonies and motivation to those whom hold important places in our hearts. However, obstacles and trials can shift our goals in another path, which will direct us to back to the goals in question. An important goal for me was to attain my Master’s Degree in Business Administration. I challenged myself and made it a priority to ensure the goal reached full execution until in 2004, my goal detoured in another direction when I gave birth to my son.
One of the proudest moments of my life is graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in social work. I’m the first in my family to do so, and I am going to go further in my education by pursuing a Master’s degree in social work. The main reason why I am pursuing a Master’s degree is because it will give me more options than a Bachelor’s degree would ever give me. Additionally, it will give me the opportunity for job stability since most employment prospects is requiring a Master’s degree to get hired. My long term goal is to work in the VA hospital. Working at the VA hospital has many benefits and job stability. Getting employed at the VA hospital has been a goal of mine since I first started my social work courses. And a Master’s degree is the
My lifetime goal is to become a Humanitarian, but my lifetime career is to become an advanced nurse with specialties in various areas (in particular, the emergency room specialty.) Becoming a Humanitarian appealed to me greatly when I realized how much my community and family played a major part in my success. Which helped me realized that aiding someone in their success, just as my community did in mines, was a task I would enjoy reciprocating to others. My goal: to pursue a career I would enjoy greatly and during that time build my wealth properly and once I have a reasonable about of wealth, I plan to give that wealth back to various communities where I know that just a little extra belief in an individual could transform their life.
The idea of a lifetime goal is a difficult concept for me. I used to believe that my goal was to become a successful lawyer like the one’s on crime shows. But what is “successful”? And what happens when I do become a lawyer? Is it just, “Done. Lifetime made.”? No, a lifetime goal is so much more than that. It’s something that I am trying and will probably never stop trying to piece together.
Considering your lifetime goals, discuss how your current and future academic and extracurricular activities might help you achieve your goals.
I have many short and long term goals set for myself. The time frame for short term goals is three to five years and for long term goals, five to ten years. These time frames give me realistic and measurable timelines to meet my goals.
My ultimate career goal is to obtain a position as a health care executive or director in a respectable health care facility. However, to achieve my objective, I must complete my master’s degree in business administration. Although, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015), states that such a position requires a bachelor’s degree and less than five years of experience for an entry level position, which I have, I would like to further my education and increase my changes of obtaining and securing the position.

My goal for the past 4 months was to deadlift 405 pounds and today I finally hit that number. I've given a lot of atttention towards this over the past 4 months and spent a lot of time outside the gym studying my videos and trying to perfect my form. It feels great to accomplish something i've failed at so much. And what makes it even sweeter was getting to sharpie it off my list of yearly
My name is Jose Goncalves. As almost everyone, I also have long-term goals. I look at my education as a primary goal. This was the major reason that brought me to the U.S. I have 4 years left , and I will do the impossible in order to achieve my target.
It is never too late for further education, it was something that I’ve always wanted to do but didn’t have the opportunity when I was young and then the business required much of my attention to ensure it strive and continue to grow in this competitive, complex environment. I’ve taken the approach of lifetime learning to better prepare myself for the challenges that lies ahead. Studying Bachelor of Business Administration will make me become a better leader in broadening my horizon by constructing and deconstructing my views, attitudes, beliefs and behaviors through extensive research and openness to new ideas.
As long as I can remember, my main goal in life was to always enjoy it. I have come to the realization that I am a simple man with simple needs. Through my past life experiences, I have determined that to obtain a comfortable lifestyle I will have to be employed in a career that is secure, but also a career that I enjoy. Deciding on a career is a personal and difficult problem for young people, however I believe my solution to this problem is to become a certified public accountant (CPA). In my Freshman Seminar, my professor, Mrs. Wilson, had the class plan their long-term and short-goals. What I learned was that my goals and values in life stemmed from my past experiences and up-bringing as a child.
When growing up you don’t think about things, and how they would affect you in the future. I say this because most of my family didn’t attend college and regretted it. Now, they struggle through life because of a decision they made in the past; which is why in my family, you try your hardest to become someone. Growing up is tough, it’s not easy. My siblings and I are finding that out for ourselves. We look at my mothers’ life, and what she went through as a guide. She attended college and now has a career as a paralegal at the law office of Pablo Rocha. My older brother, Julio, works there as well when he isn’t attending class at South Texas College. Striving to become something, he is aiming to receive a degree in engineering. Gabby, my
