Growing up, we all had our own vision of what our lives would be like when we were older. Some of us wanted to be doctors and nurses while others aspired to be musicians and singers. But did we ever stop to think about smaller aspects in life and not what career we would pursue? Beliefs, values, relationships, college and career goals are all included, “My Quality World”. The pictures we create in our head that expected in our own personal utopian world. A world where dreams molds into fantasy that you can make reality with the right decisions.
Being raised in a traditional Vietnamese family, I have always felt like I was never good enough. I am a perfectionist and I strive for approval from my family. It is something that I have struggled with for a long time. Even now, it feels like they disapprove of me going to community college. Education is education no matter what institution you attend. The only difference is the price you pay. I see myself succeeding later in life without heavy debts to pay from school. I will also have better understanding of who I am and what I want without

Which allowed me to explore my interests in these types of fields. I realized I was lucky enough to have amazing math teachers all my life. I have always loved solving problems no matter how challenging it was. I imagine myself in a career of Aerospace or Architectural Engineering. I aspire to work for Boeing company to put parts together that will allow a successful trip to space. I aspire to draw out a blueprint for my very first building at an even bigger company than Boeing. Planning and creating has always been a passion of mine. Being able to do those things in my career would be such a dream. I will know when I am successful by how happy I am with where I am in my career. The stress created by searching for a career will perish forever. I cannot think of a more satisfying and liberating feeling than
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 the first months of college, I wasn’t so sure if I wanted to pursue architecture, finance, or engineering; I was utterly lost, unlike many of my peers. Over the months, I pondered on what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. Then, I realized I was never interested in obtaining a job where I would sit at a desk and stare at some numbers on a computer screen for 9 hours every day. Through my daily routine and utilization of time, I realized I found less joy in the courses I applied least outside of the classroom, yet was intrigued that with the many hours I worked in the studio. I could work on a skill in which I could use in the career I wanted; a path in which I could leave a legacy through molding the world the way I wanted to see
Helping in impoverished communities has been a goal of mine for many years now. I go on mission trips to Jamaica for two weeks at a time, every year, for the past three years. These mission trips have shaped me into the person I am today and they have also carved out the path in which I want to lead my life. For many years now, I have wanted to work in a place like Jamaica and provide medical care. This is obviously a long-term goal, because who would let an 18 year old give them medical advice? Having said that, I have a plan on how I am going to accomplish this goal. Built into this plan is many different short-term goals, but in the end my long-term goal is to become a doctor and work in developing countries like Jamaica.
Drawing characters, backgrounds, rims, cars, or trucks spends most of my pastime. In addition to drawing, I would also like to partake classes in Animation. Art directors earned $56,880 in 2000, and the highest 10% made more than $109,440 dollars. Artist work about 40 hours a week, but during busy periods, they work overtime to meet deadlines.
My career goal is to receive my doctorate degree in Occupational Therapy. I would like to work with geriatric population because they are more vulnerable to disabilities from chronic illness that results in them being put into nursing facilities. I want to specialize my education on physical disabilities. I have experience working with the geriatric patients who are physically disabled and I hope to help them keep their independence. My goal is to help geriatric patients gain valuable skills in order to keep their independence and have the ability to live at home. As an occupational therapist, I will help patients do things they want to do through therapeutic methods of everyday living. I would teach them new ways of doing daily actives after suffering from a disability. For example, a patient who had a stroke, I would reteach this individual how to hold items, how to button shirts, and so on. I would prefer to work at patients’ home or in a clinic setting; however, I am open to working wherever my skills would be needed. Since I want to work in the patients’ home, my main goal is to evaluate and change their home, so it is easier for them to stay independent. I have an interest in working with patients who have developmental delays; however, I need to observe an OT specialized in that field to know for certain if that is something I would like to specialize in.
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.
I am a third year electrical engineering student. I switched my major from chemical engineering. I am still not sure which concentration in electrical engineering I am going to choose. One thing I want to learn most from this class is the electromagnetic aspect of electrical engineering. I hope this class can provide me with a general idea of electromagnetic and help me decide which concentration I am going to choose. Also, I didn’t particularly like electromagnetic in high school physics classes. I thought it was kind of abstract and useless at the time. So, it is quite exciting for me to learn about how electromagnetic is used in engineering and practical applications.
Known for my quirks and determined personality, I am the nineteen year old daughter of Dale Todd, a supervisor at an Interfor division in Baxley, Georgia. I am on the verge of successfully completing my second semester at Georgia Southern University located in Statesboro, Georgia. Although my plans have slightly changed as far as my career goals, I still hope to achieve a professional career. I had originally planned to go to school for Pre-Med, hoping to one day be a dentist, but after shadowing an occupational therapist, I have decided to major in exercise science. After obtaining that degree, I plan to apply to Augusta University in hopes to get accepted into their Masters of Health Science
It is difficult enough to manage time while being a student, however, it is more challenging when being a working student. My goal is to finish the program in the shortest time, paying the least amount of money and get accepted into the CRNA program. I am recognizing the need to become more organized, and learn how to set up priorities in order to manage my time more effectively; school should be first on the list followed by family and work. From my past experiences I have learned it is important to plan for the unexpected. Often, things that are not expected come up; therefore, it is important to leave some room in my calendar
Dr. Martin Luther King Junior once stated, “I have a dream…” Each and every one of us can discover that we all have our own dream. Our dream can reflect our career, personal, and academic goals. When our dream can fulfill each one of these goals, we can define it as our purpose. My purpose can be very confusing, and contorts to certain situations. In the past week, I have thought about my true meaning in this world. I believe my purpose is to teach others and make a difference through influencing other’s lives. My life’s goal is to teach the uneducated especially pointed towards the little ones. I want to educate those from the ages of eight months to eight or nine years. Influencing people’s lives can make the difference from a bleak world full of hatred and dismay to a world full of love and charity towards one another. I hope I can influence just enough of the right people to learn to accept others how they are presented to us. Personal goals of mine include teaching children, making a difference by influencing, and starting a family of my own. My academic goals for college include graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. Also, I want to maintain a grade point average of three-point-seven or higher. The career in education can be quite vigorous and I owe it to my future students to attain the best, most competent education I can receive to be able to teach them well. My career goal is to teach in a Kindergarten classroom working with special needs
Career Goal: My career goal is to become part of a major computer engineering corporation.
Growing up, there were several different career paths I wanted to take but was not reachable at the time. Throughout my high school my career goal was to be a civil or mechanical engineer. At the time, it wasn’t clear to me what an engineer’s job function is. My family urged me to pursue that dream just because of the perks that comes with it such as money. Math was never my strong suit, neither was school and to become an engineer, several mathematics courses are required. My first two years as a transfer student in college, I had no idea what my career path should be if engineering doesn’t work out. After taking careful consideration, working in the tech industry was something that needed to be done. A few friends of mine gently pushed me in that direction, but my vision to pursue a career in tech was a bit fuzzy. Eventually I started leaning towards business, but by then it was already too late for me to switch majors. I chose Sociology as my major because I found the courses interesting to learn, and it is something I can apply to business. Earlier this semester, I decided to push towards specific fields such as sales or human resources. Eventually, I do see myself in a leadership position at work such as a management position in my workplace. I do believe I have what it takes to become a manager, but only after being with a company for some time so I can understand the concepts and how to adapt to the given environment.
Who am I? Who do I hope to be? What are my goals for life? These were all questions I was asked in fifth grade during a project. My answer was, when I am older I want to play in the WNBA, own a big house, and be super rich. Of course, as times have changed I have gotten older my hopes, dreams, and goals have quite a bit.
Ever since I can remember, being a doctor was always what I wanted to be. Although there were hardships and challenges throughout my life, my ultimate goal never changed. Instead many of the problems I faced inspired me to work harder towards my goals. I pushed myself to overcome certain obstacles in order to make those who support me proud as well as myself.
What I plan to accomplish in my life? Well, there’s a few different things, that will make a everyone see my version of “a bigger picture”. At this very moment I am in my freshman year of college. A small step so far, kind of just testing the water, it’s only week 2. Although, this is step 2 of 3, on my way to my bigger picture. My first goal I plan on accomplishing, is getting a good education, which will lead me to my second goal that I plan to accomplish. My second goal that I plan to accomplish will be to obtain a position at my dream job. Last but not least, my third goal I will accomplish will be, to be known for something life changing. Something that when people hear my name or see my face they will remember the amazing thing I did, to make a change and/or a difference in the world.
