I would have to say that my life task will be to be a problem solver. In the video “Tom Kelley(Founder-Ideo) - Do What You Love” the Venn diagram utilized by Jim Collins shows that with a good balance you can find your life task. Fourteen years ago, I used to work for Hewlett Packard and like the Venn diagram I was good at it, I was born to do and I got paid to do what I loved, code and solve problems. The environment was good to work, every Friday after work we used to gather outside the building to play dominoes. I would say if you asked myself where I saw me in five or ten years I would have answered that I would be working at Hewlett Packard. But that was not how it happened my division was the first one to go after the Compaq merger. This is probably my starting point for my mastery journey.
I moved the family to Orlando, FL and started my own business. I used to put a lot of ours in to it and it was consuming a lot of time and it was not healthy for the kids or my marriage. It is not until that life took a good turn and I got the opportunity to work for Florida Virtual School. It is quite a turnaround since my Mother and Sisters are all educators and I didn’t want to follow their footsteps that is why I studied Computer Science. Since I like to solve problems and find better ways to do the work after two years working for FLVS I started to play around with BI tools that is when I had the great Idea to pursue a degree in the subject matter. One of the negative aspects
In high school, I never imagined attending the nation's number one public research institution. It was something that no one from my community had done, and the lack of representation from others in my community seemed to disencourage me from even applying. It was not until my senior year of high school that I began applying to colleges, when my older sister encouraged me to apply to the University of Michigan. She saw potential in the things that I could accomplish, but even her encouragement lacked to make me understand how I could be admitted into this predominately white institution. However, I applied early action and was ecstatic when I was accepted.
In my community, I volunteer immensely with the 4-H and FFA youth in Pima County and Arizona. I am a cavy judge at local shows throughout the year, as well as a certified shooting sports leader to teach 4-H members safe shooting techniques with rifles. I was also given the opportunity to volunteer with Future Farmer of America student members through my sorority, Sigma Alpha. I will be volunteering with the Meat Evaluation CDE at the State CDE Day, and have applied to be a Camp Counselor at the Arizona State FFA Camp held at Camp Shadow Pines in Herber, Arizona in June. Volunteering with youth involved in agriculture has allowed me to give back to a community that gave me so much during my youth. 4-H transformed me into the young woman I am
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.
My second goal specifically is to get a position in the human resources department with my current employer within the next six months. Gaining a position in the human resources department puts me one step closer to achieving my long-term goal of becoming a human resource manager. The goal is measurable because I plan to apply to any position I see posted in the human resources department that interest me and align with my professional goals. The goal is attainable because I have access to our job postings website and I plan to check this website for updates at least twice per week. This is a reasonable goal because I sometimes have downtime at work, which would allow me to use that time to search for new postings and even apply. This goal is time-bound because I gave myself a deadline of six months to achieve it. With my updated resume, experience and now my current course of study at Western Governors University, it makes me a desirable candidate for a position in HR.
A big goal I have for myself is to continue growing and developing as a musician. I want to gain as much experience as I can as a music educator as well as a private teacher. I believe in order to be a successful teacher whether it is in a classroom or private studio setting, the more techniques and strategies you have to teach with the more successful you will be. Working with Crystal Malinski at Foundation Music School has been such an amazing and eye opening experience for me. I have observed and learned so many techniques and strategies as well as having the opportunity to interact with students. Something I really want to improve up is reaching out to schools around Fort Collins and asking to observe their music classes in order to get
I am currently working on earning APE in mechanical engineering at SLCC. After earning an APE, I will transfer to the University of Utah to earn B.S. in mechanical engineering. Afterward, I will work on getting an MBA. I want to be a licensed mechanical engineer in every state, and I will work day and night to have a good reputation and make my name known so I can start my own engineering firm one day. I am pursuing this path because I want to gain the practical experience that I can use in pursuing my ultimate career goal, which is earning Ph.D. to teach people and do research. I want to help, support, and prepare students to do better in their careers. Ever since I was a kid, I was the child who wanted to know more, the child that keeps asking
Everyone has life goals that they wish to achieve. Some may be completing college while others may be starting a family and getting married. My goals are completing college with my masters degree in business, gaining a successful job as an entrepreneur, and creating a maintaining at least three successful business. These goals may come with obstacles including judgement of gender, religion and race. Chapter 10, 11, and 13’s concepts in the textbook “Society the Basics” help me overcome these judgments by pointing out life lessons and important information.
My career goal is to become a United States Marine. I chose this path to my future at a young age, of course I grew up like a normal kid wanting to become an astronaut, police officer, fireman or teacher, but I knew that a future in the armed force was for me. I think that I will be very successful in my career choice, why ? because i'm very competitive and I love a challenge and that's exactly what the USMC gives you. Growing up I had multiple military experiences, my uncle was in the navy and growing up with my cousins we would always pretend we were in the armed force whether it was the Air Force, Army or Navy we did it. I attended my first ROTC summer camp 3 years ago as a flat source to make sure that this was for me. And now I play the
My personal goal is that I stop eating fast food so often and start eating healthier foods. Every other week I stop to eat fast food either after school or after work, I usually am too tired to make food that is actually good for you so I just go stop at either Burger King or McDonalds.
People always say, New year, New me, but they never have actual goals that they achieve. I want to achieve three things this year, not changing me but changing what I do. I want to become a top pitcher in my 14u comp. league. I want to be able to bench at least 120+, by the very end of the year. I also want to achieve a higher GPA from the next few quarters throughout the year. I want a 4.0. I feel like these are very achievable goals and I am ready to go through 2017 with an open mind on achieving them.
“A goal defines a plan of action, acts as a continuous progress report on how well you are doing as you move toward chosen goals, it identifies exactly what achievement or success is for each person, and it tells you when its time to reset goals” according to Dennis Congos. Goals play an important role, when you’re in college. I have many goals but my top three goals for my educational career at Colorado Christian University are, getting an average of a 3.9 GPA in every class, staying in school and not giving up, and lastly graduating with honors on time. I have many other goals but these three are the most important to keep me on track and to help with my future career goals. I have sought out plans to achieve all these goals by the time I graduate.
The big question, “What do I want to do with my life?” floats through my mind more and more often as graduation approaches. I have many goals and ambitions I wish to achieve after high school, but deciding something as important as what career I should pursue has brought me much uneasiness. These past few months I have struggled to figure out what I am truly passionate about; however, as I mature I begin to find so much fulfillment in helping others, both mentally and physically.
I am a female who was named after a telenovela, “Abigail” born in Pomona CA and raised in San Bernardino CA. I was named by the name Abigail because my dad thought it was a beautiful name from the telenovela and it was also in the bible. I thought it was pretty hilarious when he told me. I turned 18 on September 20th, and was born on the year 1998. I currently attend Cal State San Bernardino and I’m a freshman majoring in Nutrition and Food Sciences. My future goals consist of graduating and continuing my learnings into my life in the future. Where I am at this point of my life is just school and my business. I will mention later on what this business consists of. Also, in this point of my life I also do stuff beside school and my business. For example, I like to hangout with my cousins and family on weekends and spend quality time with my family during the week. We take family trips out of state every year and also do fun activities around the city.
Mahatma Gandhi once said “The future depends on what you do today.” Which can be interpreted as, whatever happens to you now will affect you later. This is why I am setting goals now for my future. The goals that I set now, which are to spend more time with my family, avoid stress, and break the all-time scoring average in golf, are intended to improve my life in the future.
My biggest goal in life or as you would say my life goal. Is to join the national guard and finish basic training in fort Benning’s down in Georgia. I have already signed up for the national guard with SSG Allen. After that I would like to be an 88M Transport Operator Truck Driver for the U.S National Guard. Which is a civilian job for the military while I finish out my high school career and then go to Germany to go to Steiger Missionary school for the full 3 months of school and then come back to the U.S and attend the world’s largest Christian college (Liberty University).
