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.

Everyone has life goals that they wish to achieve. Some may be completing college while others may be starting a family and getting married. My goals are completing college with my masters degree in business, gaining a successful job as an entrepreneur, and creating a maintaining at least three successful business. These goals may come with obstacles including judgement of gender, religion and race. Chapter 10, 11, and 13’s concepts in the textbook “Society the Basics” help me overcome these judgments by pointing out life lessons and important information.

My personal goal is that I stop eating fast food so often and start eating healthier foods. Every other week I stop to eat fast food either after school or after work, I usually am too tired to make food that is actually good for you so I just go stop at either Burger King or McDonalds.

I believe that through my aptitude for math and technology, quest for knowledge, in addition to the guidance of my parents, I am quite capable of attaining my aspired educational and career goals.

ITT Technical Institute, Arlington TX campus is where I chose to gain my Associates Degree. I enrolled in 2007 with the dream of being successful it the IT industry. I knew a career working with computers would always be in demand and with experience, the industry would allow me to become highly successful. Graduating in 2010, after completing my associate’s degree, I then decided to pursuit the job market. I found, in the field of technology there are, what I like to call, “a series of projects”. My professional experiences consists of about six years working for privately owned companies as a technical support person, application support specialist, scrum master and trainer.

Coming from poverty is never easy. As a child I always saw my mother and grandmother struggle to raise me. Money was always limited but education was very important. Fortunately my mother was able to work three jobs so that I could attend private school. I was determined to always be the best, so I excelled in my academics and extracurricular activities. While being in high school I discovered I had a passion for writing and I loved being the center of attention. I wrote several articles for the school newspaper and broadcasted for any games that did not collide with cheerleading or dance. Regardless of my financial situation I wanted to be successful so I had to become extremely dedicated to my school work. As my senior year approached I knew it would be difficult for me to get into college. I was going to be the first person in my family to attend and no one was knowledgeable about the process of getting in. It was understood that having a degree would be essential to my goal of being successful so I was determined to earn my degree.

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

Everyone wonders how his or her life is going to end up; however, I know how my life is going to unfold because I am aware of my goals, challenges, and strengths. I have many goals for my career and life that will help me find new paths and dreams to pursue, and I will be able to find my ideal job and lifestyle. Also, it will allow me to succeed in a topic or subject. Although I do have many personal challenges which could set me back, I am sure my individual strengths will help me overcome the setbacks and will help me get farther in life. The qualities and traits that will assist me are being helpful, preferring a manual or direct approach, and being energetic. These traits are what help me choose and identify my goals, challenges, and strengths.

My involvements in different activities throughout my high school years have lead me to visualize my future goals and make my path towards them. Getting involved has leaded me to my dreams in terms of a healthier and brighter future for me and children around the globe, becoming a chief executive officer of a company related to the fashion industry and accomplish my goals as an athlete. I have been led to this path with the help of my involvement in the food drives, Link crew leaders and terry fox run. Joining such clubs along with some other made the person who I am today and helped me grow as a woman. My enthusiasm for joining clubs has lead to my aspirations of accomplishing such goals in life.

"A goal without a plan is just a wish" - Unknown. There are many days where one can feel the need to give up, but if you give up nobody can see you accomplish the things that you set your mind upon. Goals are not something you just say to pass the time they are meant to be a lifetime. They are meant to help you through life and become something everyone said you couldn’t be. Being able to prove who you are or who you want to be in the world should be a goal for everyone.

The future is a time or a period of time in which we follow through from the moment of speaking or writing our intentions. It is a time that has yet still to come. The future is what we work for, to go through school and have a career, in order to have a better life. My parents have taught me to work hard for the things I want, and I wish to have a bright future. That is one of the reasons why I am here at CI, to get an education that will help me find a career with sufficient salary that will support me and my future family.

While I sit here, looking down at this shiny black keyboard full of letters, numbers, and punctuations, I can’t help but think how can I possibly fit my aspirations, my life on this Microsoft Word document. I guess I’ll start out by saying that I’m a dreamer. All of my life has been a crumpled up mess of obstacles, but I have always been able to overcome them and depend on how I control my future. That’s what keeps me going without being a dreamer I have no idea who or where I could be.

One of my main goals in the future is to graduate high school along with college and be successful with difficult challenges that I face throughout my life. My second goal that I would like to accomplish is to become an artist or an art teacher. I wanted to succeed in a major that included art because in my family, both my mother and my uncle were into art and they showed me their works that they had saved from high school, and it motivated me to take art classes at school. During my freshman year, I actually had my charcoal drawing of stacked pans entered into the Findlay Art League. I was super ecstatic when my art teacher told me that I won first place with $400 and I was one of the first freshman to beat higher grade levels from different

I am not sure if this is the way I want my life to be. Life tends to change direction very often. What I plan to do now might not be what I want to do in a few years. Even if my plans do change, I will always have goals for myself. With hard work and determination I plan to accomplish my goals, whatever they may be, and live up to my full potential. Also I will be joining the military after I do my 6 years of law school to have better benefits for me and my family. It will take care of the rest of my college tuition and my health care.
