While I sit here, looking down at this shiny black keyboard full of letters, numbers, and punctuations, I can’t help but think how can I possibly fit my aspirations, my life on this Microsoft Word document. I guess I’ll start out by saying that I’m a dreamer. All of my life has been a crumpled up mess of obstacles, but I have always been able to overcome them and depend on how I control my future. That’s what keeps me going without being a dreamer I have no idea who or where I could be.
People say that everyone has a fair and equal opportunity at life no matter where you come from, you choose to fail or to succeed, but what if you’re born into failure? I’m the youngest out of six, and I’ve seen every single one of my siblings fail, whether it was drug use, teen pregnancy or lack of motivation, I will be the first one in my family to graduate on time, and attend college. Coming from an impoverished family you learn to be resourceful, and not take things for granted. When I was 5 years old I didn’t quite understand the concept of money and where it came from, I just knew that it lived in my dad’s brown leathered wallet and it could get you candy. I remember grabbing a green crinkled up paper that had a sad looking man on it with my small hands. I thought if I buried it, it would sprout a tree of sad looking men to buy candy with, however I was wrong and my dad fought with my mom for stealing the last of his gas for the week. Being poor never stopped me from dreaming, and
Growing up I have always had huge goals set for myself and I have had a lot of obstacles that have had a big impact on where I want to go in life. Those obstacles made me realize that maybe I can be different my life and that lead me to where I am today, senior year at Mountain View High School. I’m Caroline Kalcheff, and this is how I used my past issues to develop my future goals and dreams.
My long-term goal with my college education is to complete my Bachelor's degree and eventually continue on to receive my Master’s degree in criminal justice. The first step to complete my long-term goal is receiving my Associate’s degree in criminal justice by May 2017. This goal is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.
Describe your educational career and life goals. Explain your plan for achieving these goals. Include your degree/major, why you selected it, and how this degree/major will help you achieve your goals.
My long term goal is to become a profiler in the BAU. In ten years, I can see myself still in college, working to get a bachelors degree in either psychology or criminal justice, and maybe even in sociology and forensic science. While also gaining at least three years of experience as an agent before applying as a Special Agent and qualifying for at least one of the FBI Special Agent Programs in either law, language, accounting, computer science/information technology, or diversified. I would also have to be older than 23, but younger than 37. I would analyze criminal cases for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to get a psychological, behavioral and legal profile of the unsub (Unknown Subject).
It’s understandable to think that an individual with misfortune wasn’t meant to succeed. Yet, all over the world there are those who obtain wealth and happiness without having it in the first place. A child cannot see the hope in this, but only once the child is mature can he or she look back at their parents and see how they resisted against the poor circumstances. Some may say that my family was destined to find happiness, but it’s those same people that didn’t see the hard work, time and pain that it took to have what we have today. Everyday I realise that my wealth doesn’t come in the form of money, rather in the choice to be happy and content with what I have. Society divides people up into social classes of wealthy, middle class and poor, but it’s not societies place to define individual
Why am I here at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and what do you hope to do when you graduate? I am here at the University Of Maryland Eastern Shore (UMES) to become a college graduate and pursue my goals in my life. UMES has a Pharmacist department and Physician Assistant department, which one I plan to partake in after graduation. I am here to take an advantage on those particular departments to become the future Physician Assistant and or Pharmacist. UMES also have a biology major which I considered due to the fact that biology is required for the career fields in which I am most intrigued by. UMES is also where I received my college credits as a high school student.
It has taken me transferring out of University and suffering from an injury that ended my soccer career for me to finally end up where I need to be. I have always wanted to be in the medical field. As a little girl I was doing it all, from giving my father an IV to packing wounds on our farm animals. I just recently finished CNA I and never have I loved doing something as much as I enjoyed that. I never realized that I was a people person and going through clincals has opened my eyes to that. I can only imagine the impact that CNA II or even completing the ADN program will have on me, especially after the impact CNA I had on me. I am a very hard worker. I am goal oriented and determined to reach my goals. This scholarship would help me worry
The goals of my past are the result of my present and my future will be.
Dr. Orison Swett Marden once said, “All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.” Goals are important for the reason that they keep you focused on what you want to accomplish in life and gives something to work towards. My first personal goal is to return to the soccer field following my ACL injury. My second personal goal is to one day have a family of my own. My professional goal in life is to graduate college and become an occupational therapist.
In my lifetime I have gone through a lot of difficult situations, my grandpa died when I was a freshmen in high school and overcame a death of a classmate just a month after my own car accident. I have also learned a lot from all of this things that has happened to me. I have learned that no matter how bad the situation is you still are able to rise above the the worst of things. That your strengths are the things that carry you through tough positions, and enable you to look into the future and see the great things that came out of the hard times.
I believe that through my aptitude for math and technology, quest for knowledge, in addition to the guidance of my parents, I am quite capable of attaining my aspired educational and career goals.
When a very essential question is asked to most of the students between class 9th to 10th that what is their aspiration or frequently asked what do u want to do further, or which stream are you going to take science, commerce or arts, only a few of them actually have definite answers to these questions .More than 80% of the students don t really know what career they want to make. Mostly students just choose to fulfill their parents dream as they have no clue what they want to do.
ITT Technical Institute, Arlington TX campus is where I chose to gain my Associates Degree. I enrolled in 2007 with the dream of being successful it the IT industry. I knew a career working with computers would always be in demand and with experience, the industry would allow me to become highly successful. Graduating in 2010, after completing my associate’s degree, I then decided to pursuit the job market. I found, in the field of technology there are, what I like to call, “a series of projects”. My professional experiences consists of about six years working for privately owned companies as a technical support person, application support specialist, scrum master and trainer.
In the future I see myself in a comfortable position where I can provide the enough money to pay my bills, support my family and create a good environment for my family. I want to work hard to have a good salary per year. It means I will have to make the enough money where I will not struggle with bills and finances. My goal is to coach professional baseball after I am done playing. I will make around $15,000 per month if everything works out well. I like to think big because I am an ambitious person. I do not want my family to struggle or to need money; I want to provide them in everything that they need.
Growing up in Miami I have gotten accustomed to the cold and impersonal interactions attributed to living in a big city. Although I enjoy all of the opportunities that are presented by metropolitan areas, it disheartens me to know that most people in urban settings do not know their neighbors. Via avian perspective, you can see the large-scale segregation of classes and ethnic groups. Little Havana, Little Haiti, and Little Puerto Rico are just some examples of the neighborhoods I have called home. As a multiracial child, I found it difficult to fit in when the typical icebreaker question was “Where are you from?” “Me?” I would ask. Knowing there was a narrow range of accepted responses I replied, “I am from here - from Earth... but more importantly, where am I going?” It seems a natural human characteristic to assign greater importance to our past experiences than to our aspirations for the future. In order to achieve what I want with my life I know that I must not dwell on the past but focus on the future.
