Long Term Goal: Becoming A Professional Athlete

By the time I am at least 20+ I will graduate college, keeping my grades high ,incase I do not achieve my goal of professional football. (Hopefully as I backup I could join the USMC to engineer all types of military vehicles.)

I have many ideas for my future. I want to graduate high school with at least a 4.0 gpa. After that I plan to go to college and become either a pediatrician or a crime scene investigator. I hope to get married and have kids. With every goal that comes I hope to accomplish them.

I believe my talent is time management, working hard, and helping others. Being a student-athlete I had to develop time managing early. When I made the girl's varsity basketball team my freshman year I realized just how time-consuming it was. There were days where I woke up at four in the morning to do homework and study for tests, after getting home from a game at nine pm. Learning to handle this full schedule challenged me as a student. It gave me the confidence to go take harder classes after freshman year. Sophomore year I took AP World History and three Honors classes. Junior year, I did so as well. But I’ve really pushed myself this year, because I am taking four AP classes: Environmental Science, Psychology, Calculus, and Government.

My Career is going to be a football player and be a lineman for the saints in the NFL. I plan to achieve this goal be playing as hard as I can in high school and college and hope I will be drafted to the saints. I plan to achieve this goal by 2025.

To me an Athletic Trainer is someone that graduates from college certified to provide help to people that are injured, right out of college. This major can be obtained in four years without and further education, however; must take classes to keep up with the ever growing medical field. The main thing I think of when I think about going into Athletic Training is working at a school with the schools sports teams, however; they also can work in physical therapy clinics, hospital settings, nursing homes, etc. Athletic Trainers focus on prevention, treatment, what is wrong, and getting the patient back to health as well as working along side a doctor or physical therapist for further assistants.

Ten years from now I see myself with children and a job in a local hospital taking care of children. I see myself with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing and a certification in Nurse Midwifery. My children may be around five years old and just starting school. I will encourage my children to take school as serious as I have and to do their homework. I eventually want to have at least four children but that choice may change as time goes on. I have no plans other than working and raising a family ten years from now. I plan on starting a retirement account early in life to reduce stress later on in

In 10 years, I see myself graduated from college and working as a beautician.This goal is important to me because I love doing hair, makeup, and nails. A satisfaction that it provides is that I can help build someone’s self-esteem. The relationship school has to reach my goal is math class because you need to know your measurements for chemicals or lengths to cut hair..

There are many many careers to choose from in this world. Not all are for me though. There are three careers that I would consider doing. The most unlikely one is to play football professionally. Second is be a sports PT. Lastly I would like to be a banker.

I have dreamt of many goals that I want to achieve in the next ten years. Competing on a Chapter Conducting state team for four years led me to choose an educational degree in AG Communications. With an Ag Communications degree, I dream of pursuing a career in Sports broadcasting. The career, educational, and personal goals that I have set for myself will hopefully take me far in life.

In 10 years I see myself living the luxury lifestyle in Hawaii with a beautiful educated woman with 3 kids and 2 dog. I will be playing professional basketball overseas with the Hawaii Warriors. It's always been my dream to play overseas basketball or play in the NBA, with dedication and hard work I can achieve my goals. Once I make it I want to give back to my family and the community. I understand that my parents work hard for me to get me where I am today, so I want to ensure them that they will never have to work again. Second I'm going to give back to the community, I plan on opening a basketball complex gym for the kids, then I want to open a cheer leading and gymnastics complex for the girls and boys. I will already have my business

In one of the stories called Making Kids Work on Goals, Sue Shellenbarger has evidence of students wanting to achieve their goals at younger ages. “42% of students ages 10 to 18 say they are energetically pursing their goals 35% Strongly believe they can find ways around problems that may arise and 53% say they are hopeful for their future”. In another story called Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams, Randy Pausch talks about how childhood dreams can come true and that it feels even better to help people accomplish their childhood dreams. “And as you get older, you may find that ‘enabling the dreams of others’ is even more fun” Now is it better to have short term or long term goals for a dream job, short term works better because of how long term goals seem to affect people.

I see myself in the NBA or the NFL, making enough money to have a house and food for my family. I will be visiting my family on my off days and helping them with what they need, and making sure I take care of myself, and keeping myself in shape. I’m going to be in the NBA, hopefully on the Chicago Bulls; my favorite team in the NBA because it's my home state. My favorite player Derrick Rose is on their and that team is a good team. My school has a basketball team I got people in my school that can help me with my goals. In five years I see myself you're in a basketball or a football team, having good grades and keeping my healthy. I'm going to be the oldest child in my house I'm I have to watch out for them especially my little brother Daniel.

As I look at things now, I can see myself graduating from collage.With hard work and dedication

For the development of the self, the most important thing that has to be kept in mind is to know one's own self. Self- awareness, self- esteem, self- perception and self- control when mixed with rational thought and optimistic outlook makes a true definition of self development. The first step that should be taken to shape up the life is to start accepting your weaknesses. The more you will know about yourself, the more your life will become happier. If you will not know about yourself, you will always be under threat from the external factors. By knowing your vices and virtues, you can develop yourself as you can work on the area where you lack the most.

Later on in life, I plan on being either a physical education teacher or an elementary education teacher and I also plan on being a varsity level tennis and basketball coach. My intentions as the head of the tennis program are to instill leadership qualities in each and every one of my players. I plan on leading by example, coming to practice willing to
