My Goals For College

I set a goal to further my education by enrolling in college before I turned twenty five. I was on call 24 hours a day as tow truck driver at the time not leaving me time to meet the time frame of that goal. I did not completely give up on that goal and have currently met it. The reason I was eventually able to reach this goal is my unwillingness to give up on the things that are important to me. Even if things don’t go exactly how you plan you should not give up on

Ever since I was young, I was exposed to a Historically Black College or University, Jackson State University. I had always went to activities and functions such as football games, summer programs, and other special events. I did not know whether I would attend a historically Black College or University (HBCU) or not at the time. I had finally decided to go to a HBCU, and I would attend Tougaloo College in the fall to further my education. I have many goals and objectives for pursing my educational experience at a historically Black College, and I plan to achieve them.

Going into college, I would like to peruse many of my goals. I would like to start out getting my general studies in and then build up to become a Registered Nurse. After I accomplish becoming a Registered Nurse I would like to work on becoming a Nurse Practitioner. One reason I am striving to complete these goals is to be able to have a good future and hopefully a good job will come out of this. Neither of my parents went to college and I want to be able to accomplish that for myself.

I have decided on what I wanted to do with college since I was a child. It sounds ridiculous, but I am passionate about what I want to do. I was inspired at a very young age since I was in third grade, and I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. A teacher for what grade is what I did not know. As my family grew bigger with my nephews and nieces, I realized that I wanted to be surrounded by kids. I put what I wanted with my passion and got major. My intended major is to receive a double major in Primary and Elementary education, my goal is to receive a Masters in at least one of these majors.

My educational goals for high school would be to get good grades mostly, and the reason that is one of my main goals is because with grades your acceptance rate is higher to get into a college. With a higher acceptance rate, you get more options of colleges to choose from you aren’t limited to a certain college. For my college goals, they are to get a master's in nursing. Why I want my masters in nursing is because a master gets a higher chance in being hired, because they would rather choose someone with a higher degree in that area of work. Also with a masters you have more knowledge and that is always a better thing when applying to a job.

The ultimate goal of a college education today is to prepare young adults for the “real world,” being the workforce. Nowadays, it is crucial to have a sharp wit, positive attitude, and innovative ideas to bring to the table. Colleges should provide lessons for these skills and teach students how to apply them in real-life situations. Priming a graduate for professional settings is a key component to lead a successful career. In order to work a suitable occupation, a person should know how to search for an appropriate and quality job. Research is of utmost importance, especially when exploring the job force. Susan Svrluga from The Washington Post states, “Finding a job is a lifelong skill that most of us will use eight times or more during

Enrolled at Miami Dade College is the starting point to complete my long life desire and goal of earning a Master degree in management engineering, and business administration. From the time I was a young kid through the time of high school, I had always have passion for more knowledge, and engineering. But in my senior year in high school to the time of summer, I have led to the discovery of another passion, and great ambition toward it (Business). However, to reach those goals, I will need the power of education, which provide more knowledge, and wisdom to whoever seek. By pursuing a college degree, I have a higher change of successes in both degree, in life also. But this question also deal with emotional feeling, pursuing a college degree

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.

It wasn't often a personal thought of mine that there would be such a stark difference between a high school graduate and a college graduate in regards to a healthy lifestyle and a decent salary. It wasn't until recently that I fully understood the complications of not finding a decent job that pays a suitable amount to not only support myself, but much less a family. It's these complications that bring light to my mind on the importance of gaining college experience and why it's extremely critical in not only my life but the life of those around me. College is just an absolute essential factor in life that all of us should drive towards in order to better our lives.

Three reasons I have made getting a college degree one of my goals in life are to be the first generation to go to college, to further my education, and to have something positive going for me. In my first paragraph I'm going to talk about being the first in my generation to go to college and inspire my family members who will come after me. In my second paragraph I will be talking about going to college to further my education and make something of myself. In my last paragraph I will be talking about the positive things I hope to accomplish.

Establishing educational goals was my first step towards success. I have set some short term and long term educational goals. I am starting by going for my associates in arts degeree. I hope to complete my masters in the future for my long term goal. I have also made some other school related goals to keep me motivated and determined. I plan to try to maintain a 4.0 average. I have always done just enough work to get by, but I want to give 100% effort to my education now. I want to graduate with honors.

There is a saying in society “if you are poor you will stay poor.” The United States have said “You have the freedom of changing your classification in your social status.” People close to me have said “as long as it’s something you want, anything is possible.” With the given information, the choice I’ve made was to change my written destiny and make my mark on earth. The path I am willing to take isn’t to benefit my life, but to give back the people who gave me everything I could ever ask for.

A short-term goal I've set for myself is getting accepted into my first choice college: Colorado University of Boulder. During my junior year, I was following my cousin around to colleges that she was interested in. I went along with her to visit Colorado University of Boulder and from that moment on I knew that I wanted to go there. I can finally say that I got accepted and couldn't be happier to check off one of my goals on my list. Nonetheless, I’ve worked strenuously in school to maintain an average GPA of 3.76, plus taking rigorous courses, which accumulates to a GPA of 3.92. I retook my ACT a couple of times in hopes to receive a 28 or higher for scholarships from Boulder and other places. I am currently trying to accomplish that goal by

As a student at IUPUI i would like to accomplish a goal of obtaining a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering. Another goal of mine is to be involved in clubs to meet people with similar interests. I am an outstanding individual and self motivated student and expect to continue to do so in college. My academic goals as a student have and will always be to achieve the best grades that I can possibly obtain. I am an intelligent student and learn the best by being around intelligent students, I also like helping people learn and grow academically. My last goal that I want to achieve while attending college is to obtain a internship in my future career field in order to obtain more knowledge in my field.

The majority of high school students are often asked what their goals are. Whether or not the students wish to go to college, get a specific job, or simply become a stay at home parent, they must make that choice for themselves. Throughout my life a big challenge has been deciding what goals I should focus on, and I still struggle with decisions to this day. No matter what I will always wish to be a great musician and actress.
