My Goals For College

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.

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 goals after college is to come out and feel satisfied with the things I've learned and to also come out and easily find a job. I think selecting film as my program with help me achieve these goals. I've always been interested with film making and have always loved making them. Ever since I was young I would always find myself making videos or movies with friends, and I was always the one that would come up with the ideas. I feel I will have a greater chance of getting the a job if I am a graduate of North Carolina State University.

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.

College is expensive. No one can pay for it by themselves unless they’re a millionaire. What about the people who actually need help? I am one of those people. If given a scholarship, how will it benefit my education? If I was given a scholarship, it will benefit me in reaching my educational goal by motivating and pushing me to do better to make the organization proud and it will grant me the ability to get everything I need because it will not have any limitations to what I can do with it.

To begin, I would like to express my passion for pursuing a college career. Since I was very young, one of my top goals has always been to have a job that I enjoyed going to everyday. Furthermore, when I started high school I knew I had to commence working towards that goal. Consequently, I had no idea of what kind of job or career I would enjoy, this in turn made me slack off, and not care much about my first two years of high school. Eventually, I took an automotive class at the technical careers high school, and as a result, I knew I wanted to work with cars everyday. Moreover, I took an opportunity that has changed the course of my life drastically. henceforth, I have read and researched many colleges and their programs, and BYU-I stood

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.

Getting an M.S.BA degree from McCombs serves the purpose of achieving my short term goal: to work as a consultant or business analyst. The reason I want to work in such positions is because of the steep learning curve, I can be exposed to various kinds of cases and learn how to solve problems professionally. This is a to prepare for my long term goal: become an entrepreneur myself in helping startups with data analytics and decision making.

The passion that drives me to wake up early , to attend school and take five classes. Work up to 40 hours a week or more, are my dreams,my determination and a plan to receive my degree from an “AA” up to PH.D. I would have to believe in myself to accomplish these plans. My second dream is to move out of South central/Watts , where the youth are dis courage to exceed in school just because “it is not socially accepted” .(Courage To Learn, Daniel Ortega) I'm repeatedly seeing friends and foes falling deeper to addictions , in and out of jail, it's just like a cycle they seem to not break away from . The worry that I have is getting involved something negative, that can possibly would stop me from attending school, besides that nothing else

My main objective for going to college is to put myself in a position where I can bring people together to solve common problems. I am currently a sophomore in college and I’m double majoring in both International Relations and Computer Technology. As an ambassador of my generation, my goal is to become a language interpreter for the United Nations and a computer technician. I plan on studying abroad to further enhance my knowledge and gain a greater understanding of how to communicate more effectively with different cultures. The personal experience of interacting with different people will give me insight on how to not only bring people together, but enhance my skills as an interpreter as well. According to Eve Elwell from thirdyearabroad.com,

William Jennings Bryan once said, “Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved [sic].” From the time I was able to read and write, I have spent my time trying to get where I am now: a senior in high school planning my path for college. With college approaching so soon, I have had to make the decision of what I want to in my future. Since I will be doing it for the rest of my life, I have to pick something that I will not only be good at, but also love and enjoy. Life will not just hand me whatever I need to be successful; therefore, I will have to work for it. As a young adult getting ready to enter the part of life referred to as the real world, I am dedicating my time and effort to preparing a path of success that will help me reach my goal of graduating from Louisiana State University (LSU) and becoming a physician assistant (PA).

This semester I want to take a different approach in all of my classes, but especially for this political science class. Even though I have always been a meticulous student, college is slightly more perplexing and I want to ensure I am fully equipped for the corporate America. A few of my goals consist of making A’s and B’s in the course, forming a useful study group with my colleagues, and retaining the information taught in class while using it as cross-curriculum for relative classes (i.e. Composition I). It is imperative that I not only do well, but am able to comprehend the material in a way that suits my educational career in a variety of aspects. Although high school and college are differing institutions, my goal is to do exceptionally

For my overall academic goal I would love to get a 4.0 G.P.A but I would at least like to get a 3.5 G.P.A in all of my general and my college major classes for each semester I take at Florissant Valley and also when I attend Forest Park. My strengths to achieve my goal is to stay in my books and study hard to make sure I dont get distracted so I can achieve my goal every semester. Even though I do well in school I need to work on a couple things, one thing I need to work on is my health and wellness, because to achieve my goal I need to have strength and energy and sense my health is poor I get really tired all the time, also something else I need to work on is time management, I need to stop procrastinating and do things right when I get them

Coming to the U.S, I had the opportunity that my parents and most people could only dream of. I had the opportunity to pursue and further my education in one of the greatest countries in the world. The U.S. Henceforth, coming at the age of nine, I had planned and knew what I wanted to do as soon as I arrived. I wanted to become a lawyer, a Law Enforcement Officer with the FBI, and join the U.S. Marines. But most importantly, I want to open my own Non- Profit Organization whose aim would be to help individuals who are homeless, living in third- world countries, and to provide those individuals with educational opportunities to help them advance their future. In able to achieve these goals of mine, academically, I hope to participate in clubs such as Debate, Student Government, possibly double major in either Political

Tony Robbins once said, “Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.” The goals we set tied to our education are often what lead us on the path to success. Goals, no matter how grand or modest, keep students motivated and invested in their education. Furthermore, these are my educational goals and how I plan to achieve them.
