My Goals For A College

I have had a lifetime goal to attend college, it just didn’t happen early in life. When I first came to CCU, there was no doubt that getting my bachelors in early childhood would be my major. My passion has always been young children. It started when I babysat as a young teenager and has continued in my life as a preschool teacher. Education is constantly changing: therefore, I feel I need to have more knowledge and wisdom to be the best teacher possible. Education is by far one of the most important tools to have a successful life. With diligence, I want to be a leading educator and to be a gateway for my students to learn. It’s exhilarating how many lives a teacher will touch each day. A teacher has the power to reach out and make learning a positive and memorable experience for every child. Furthermore, teachers are one of the first caregivers for young children. Although I am not at the beginning of my career, while at CCU, I will grow in faith, help and learn from others, and strive to graduate with honors.

The ultimate goal of a college education today is to prepare young adults for the “real world,” being the workforce.

After the completion of my first year at Seton Hall University I cannot describe my enjoyment and excitement. My father came to America 25 years ago, in hopes to make quick money and return home. But to earn money he conducted back-breaking labor, since he did not possess any reputable certificates. Regardless, he fell in love America, since it gave opportunities to change life for the better. Therefore, from an early age my parents have encouraged me to build a love of learning and curiosity.

My short term goals are to earn multiple degrees in college and discover what career I want to pursue. I plan to do this by working extremely hard in a wide variety of classes in order to find what fields I could work in and enjoy. Since I’m not entirely sure what I want to pursue in life, my only prevailing long term goal is to be content and proud of what I have accomplished. I feel that as long as I consistently work hard and strive to be the best I can be, I will accomplish this goal. I believe that Weber Honors College will help me to achieve these goals by constantly challenging me to outdo myself. I also believe the amazing opportunities the school provides such as a wide selection of majors and classes, study abroad experiences, and

My educational goals are to get accepted into a great college, such as New Mexico State University and achieve the highest level of excellence that I am able to push myself to, just as I did within my high school years. As usual, when you ask someone about their goals it is a very simple answer such as something that can be achieved without hardships and something that is the least stressful. However, I myself strive to be better than that and know that great things are accomplished when you put forth your full effort. With that being said I strive to have excellent grades with a minimum of a 3.8 GPA and work with my best effort to excel at an accelerated level. Eventually earning my bachelor's degree and considering going back for my master's

The decision to pursue secondary education has always been a goal throughout high school. As a successful high school student and a potential first-generation college student, the idea of successfully obtaining a degree not only would fulfill personal satisfaction, but also expectations held by my parents. Within my senior year of high school in South Carolina, I was greatly interested in becoming an aerospace engineer; a very admirable profession in the eyes of my parents. After carefully considering Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech, I ultimately settled for Blacksburg to become a Hokie. Unfortunately, the college lifestyle was too overwhelming and I had to withdraw after my first year. This moment was very disappointing for myself and parents. However, I knew I couldn't give up the possibility of a college education, so I entered the workforce with the thought of going back to school when I was ready and prepared. Initially, the motivation was within myself, but later in life I learned that the significant people to build on that motivation was going to be my family and employer.

In order to reach this goal I would need to look for a job on campus to help pay for tuition and other financial needs. A long term goal of mine is to graduate from college with a degree in the Engineering field than to use that to find a successful career in order to support myself as well as a possible family.

Baseball is a game that teaches players how to deal with failure.

When kids are growing up they always dream about what they want to become when they are older.
