My Goals For My Career

My long-term goal with my college education is to complete my Bachelor's degree and eventually continue on to receive my Master’s degree in criminal justice. The first step to complete my long-term goal is receiving my Associate’s degree in criminal justice by May 2017. This goal is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.

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.

I’m applying to this program because I want to pursue a career in college student development in a program that gives its students a wide variety of hands on experiences. I’m looking for a program that combines traditional classroom teaching with the opportunity for multiple internships and practicums. Additionally, I have grown to find a home at Appalachian State and I would like to continue my education at this university.

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.

Professional Goals: I still have a little time left to figure out what grade it is that I want to teach. I’m honestly lost in this because I most enjoy working with college level student, but I absolutely love elementary level children as well. Over the past few years, I have worked here at Lone Star College under a few different titles. I was offered a job while taking a 1302 English class. The next semester, I began to work in developmental classes. I have supported several different English class along with some Educt classes as well. It has been my job to tailor the information that the professor has covered to meet the needs of my students, and I’ve become quite good at this. I am currently a Level III Master English tutor, and the Peer

My current career goals include working in the field of microbiology. Although, I am at a crossroads regarding my path of study: becoming a pathologist (medical doctor) or gaining a Masters as a microbiologist. I am highly interested in conducting research for the CDC or other firms in studying viruses and other pathogens and developing vaccines or cures. My interest for pathogens started as a child when I would watch countless zombie films. I later discovered I was more interested in the disease and the idea of a pandemic than the actual zombie thriller. In high school I enrolled in science classes and researched more about pathogens and occupations involving microorganisms and determined that I would pursue a career in microbiology. My interest

For the past five years I have been an elementary school teacher, and this experience has helped me to identify where my career goals will lead. My interest in the Doctor of Education Organizational Change and Leadership program is to become a staff educator. I would like to guide teachers how to use data to drive their instruction in the classroom.

Ultimately, my personal career goal is to help elucidate the molecular pathways of neurological disorders, while also being able to apply my knowledge directly to patients. Thus, a course plan within the Molecular Basis of Medicine (MBM) foundational area, combined with a Neuroscience, Behavior, and Cognition application, would be perfectly tailored to my interests. Though I have experience in bench work at the Champagne Lab, and bedside work at NYPH Weill/Cornell and TCC Health Care respectively, I am truly interested in the bench-to-bedside approach taught extensively throughout the MBM program. The Stanford Neurosciences Institute would provide a myriad of exciting opportunities for pursuing further research into the molecular biology and

Throughout the last few weeks, I have been doing the time management monitor. This project has opened my eyes to how much time I am not using that I could be utilizing for planning my career. My major goals for this semester are to decide on a major and use this first semester to find a day to day rhythm. I also want to use this semester to find new friends and adjust to life in college. Doing this time monitor, I have realized that I have spent more time making friends and adjusting than I have done homework. I also have found out that I have not done much to help me decide what to do in my future.

Politics is defined by Webster dictionary as, “the activities, actions, and policies that are used to gain and hold power in a government or to influence a government.”  I aim to one day work in our government and influence lives in a positive manner. I want to help create a sound government in any way possible. Intellectually, I yearn to learn more about the processes in government, to overall aid in my professional goal of being a successful politician.

My minor goals included remaining in professional wear at all times and memorizing the student’s names. The reason I wanted to do these two things was in order to 1) distinguish myself as not being a peer and 2) to make myself seem as professional as the teacher, himself. Overall, my goals were achieved, but the apparel goal was easier than the memorization of names.

Dr. Orison Swett Marden once said, “All who have accomplished great things have had a great aim, have fixed their gaze on a goal which was high, one which sometimes seemed impossible.” Goals are important for the reason that they keep you focused on what you want to accomplish in life and gives something to work towards. My first personal goal is to return to the soccer field following my ACL injury. My second personal goal is to one day have a family of my own. My professional goal in life is to graduate college and become an occupational therapist.

My career goal is to become a United States Marine. I chose this path to my future at a young age, of course I grew up like a normal kid wanting to become an astronaut, police officer, fireman or teacher, but I knew that a future in the armed force was for me. I think that I will be very successful in my career choice, why ? because i'm very competitive and I love a challenge and that's exactly what the USMC gives you. Growing up I had multiple military experiences, my uncle was in the navy and growing up with my cousins we would always pretend we were in the armed force whether it was the Air Force, Army or Navy we did it. I attended my first ROTC summer camp 3 years ago as a flat source to make sure that this was for me. And now I play the
