My Goal Of Earning My Degree

My educational goals were to get a certificate in Health Information Technology as a certified coder. But I change my mind and decided to get my associates degree because it provides me with more opportunities in the field. I can choose many different careers such as health information analyst, insurance claims analyst, records technician specialist, etc. With this degree I can improve my family financial situation and be an example to my children that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything.

I have 2 kids and with them I have learned how to deal with difficult situation and I know that being in the nursing field there will come difficult times were multitasking will become helpful. One of my counselors that I’ve been speaking to at CCU has had a lot of patients with waiting for me to reply and always sending me emails to keep me on track with my application. I like to create a great relationship between classmates and teachers and I got the first impression of this school I was going to be able to have that relationship. Last but not least I am a team player that works great with others and very open minded person ready to learn new theories and new ways. My greatest challenge in nursing would be that everyday there is something new that I would have to learn and try to keep up with all the updates that will go on. I love a challenge, and I don’t let any opportunity to go unclaimed. However everyday will be a challenge in pursuing nursing but it takes a certain person to become a nurse, with the right kind of feeling and complete desire to excel, I know that I am without hesitation that person. So I will accept any challenge that the nursing career has to offers

Going to college has been a dream of mine growing up. I am the first ever in my family to go to college but figuring out how to pay for it has been a challenge. I desire to achieve my academic and career goals and this scholarship can help me succeed in my journey.

The college degree I am pursuing through Excelsior College is the Associate in Applied Science for Nursing. I plan on going on after this for my Bachelor’s degree in nursing, and when I complete this then I will decide if I plan on going any further in my education. Having 7 children, who are all still at home, gives me everyday challenges in just time management alone. I am learning to adjust my schedule even with sleep to accommodate in achieving my goal. I do know any challenge that I may face I will overcome and that I can achieve anything I set out to do. As I went through LPN school I was a single mom, working full time, with 4 children at home, and was able to succeed successfully in that. I plan on doing this again with my degree for a registered nurse.

My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors that criminals poses may help solve or even prevent a crime. In addition, having a degree will help open different paths in life, ones that may present me with greater job opportunities. My attitude toward the learning process will help my achievement of each goal because I am eager, determined and motivated. My greatest desire is to succeed in life, and obtaining an education is one thing I know will help me. I perhaps will need to make some adjustments along my journey. I do not know yet if I will find another educational path that intrigues me the most. For now, I do not feel that any adjustments need to be made.

My passion is to serve my community and volunteer through organizations such as Girl Scouts: we clean a cemetery, serve food to the homeless every Thanksgiving Day, and wrap presents for children during Christmas break. Through H.I.S. Bridge Builder’s, I help feed and clothe underserved communities. In the San Antonio chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, whom I am the president, we go to Morgan’s Wonderland to sing to disabled children, serve Thanksgiving dinner at the annual Jimenez Thanksgiving dinner and we have annual back to school give away to our local schools.

Walt Disney once said, “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” According to CBS News, he was fired from a Missouri newspaper company for “not being creative enough” at the age of twenty-two. However, he eventually became the owner of a multi-billion dollar company. Despite the hardships, Mr. Disney refused to give up on his dreams and was determined to accomplish his goals. This is exactly how I see myself fulfilling my ambitions because I always push myself to give 110% in everything I do. My goals include graduating high school with the highest academic honors possible, attending Indiana University Southeast and majoring in marketing with a minor in human resources, and obtaining a job in the field that I have studied.

Nina JohnsonJournal 1For this semester, one of my main goals is to do my best to stay on top of all of my work.That way I don’t fall behind and end up having to pull one or more all nighters. I also want tohave a job on campus this semester since I have been awarded Federal Work Study. This isimportant to me because it will be my first time ever having a job, so I’ll be able to make myown money, while also learning new and valuable skills. This will also be one of my biggestleaps outside of my comfort zone because I used to be extremely anxious about having a job, andthe only thing I’ve done that was close to that was having a brief unpaid internship.As for campus involvement, I’m not quite sure what I want to do yet. I might join theJapanese

My educational goals are to finish high school with all A’s and a GPA of 4.5 or higher. These are short-term goals that will help me to get into a good college. My top choice for college is Davidson College. The next prospects are Vanderbilt University, Appalachian State University, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In college, I want to obtain, eventually, a Ph.D. and pursue a career in writing and English or potentially become a professor. During college, I want to study abroad, travel out of the US to experience different cultures and lifestyles. My goal is to traverse the world and visit Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Italy, France, England, Greece, etc. I want to see the Eiffel Tower, visit the Roman Coliseum, and explore

I decided to attend college because I want to make you proud and show you that I want to be successful in life. College has so many distractions that can keep me from not being successful if I let the distractions distract me. I believe in myself and I know that none of those distractions won’t bother me. Partying and hanging with friends is cool from time to time but at the end of the day, youre not paying for me to go to school to party and not get an education. Hard work, dedication and being motivated in school is my key to success and it can take me a long way.

Since my childhood I had a habit of noticing people, comprehend the business involved in whatever they do, and compare the same with mine. Maybe because I was raised in a very average family and with a background of being with the common people back in my village, I have always fascinated in creating something new that would change a common man’s life by making it simpler and happening. Engineering was always in my blood from my dad, and I have always wondered how things work, which drove my passion in taking a B Tech as my first step to achieve my final

Enduring the undergraduate stage without financial support has been a difficult and perplexing odyssey. My first year in college, I arrived on the greyhound with one suitcase and my backpack of Fall semester textbooks. I quickly shifted through the year inquiring about which major I would pursue. Nursing was certainly my first choice. Consequently, as my undergraduate degree continued so did the expenses, and it became evident to seek employment while enduring a full-time schedule as a Pre-Nursing student. With rent, transportation, textbooks, and attempting to coordinate my class schedule with my work schedule, it been a daunting and arduous

My educational goals are to graduate with a Bachelor's in History and to have a

Everyone should have personal goals that evolve around anything that needs to be accomplished. I set goals on a daily basis. One goal that I seem to have not truly focused on has been my college education. Considering all things, I decided I needed to focus on my college education. The first thing I needed to accomplish was to enroll in an institution for higher learning. Now that my enrollment is complete, I am an official student at the University enrolled in the undergraduate program for business management. As a student at the university, I now have to set personal goals so that I will be successful in my endeavors. My personal goals are to gain personal growth and development and graduate from my undergraduate program in business

Upon coming to college I knew it will be different and harder than high school, but I did not realize exactly what those differences were. My goal entering college was to start the first year strong, that means getting good grades and finding a solid major. First semester was challenging, the biggest challenge was probably realizing how difficult the classes were and college is really all about the academics. I must admit that the second semester of my freshman year was much better. During the start I knew I needed to change my study habits. I remembered telling my counselor I was take general psychology, and she told the course can be difficult at times and I need to study well. She was right, this course can be and is difficult. General psychology has been the most fascinating course I have taken so far, the second I looked at the textbook, reading the table of content I knew I was going to enjoy Psychology. This year I understand that college is difficult if you make it difficult. This course had helped me with time management, good study habits, and dealing stress.
