My Goals In My Life

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 wants to be something, to become somebody, to know that the amount to the grand scheme of the universe. There is always such a deep fear of mediocrity. Eating away telling you “You aren’t worth anything.” that it’s all useless in the long run. This has been true for a long time. I believe humans have always felt this way. We have always wanted to matter. I think I finally realized that this year. I realized that some things really don’t change. Someone, somewhere along the line of time has felt the same way or will feel the same way. Human’s are complex creatures yet we are extremely simple minded. This is obvious as we look in the past, analyze literature and art, we realize that we have been talking about and thinking the same things for a long time.

People have a hard time figuring out what they were meant to do in life, leading to numerous jobs before they settle on one. Sometimes these struggles to find what they are meant to do, lead people to completely changing career fields. I believed that my purpose in life, as I entered college, was to help lead the young people of today. While finishing up my bachelors degree in Elementary and Middle Childhood Studies at The Ohio State University, I knew that I wanted to continue my education and obtain a masters degree. Throughout my entire undergrad, I spent time as a varsity football assistant coach. That feeling of wanting to lead along with my coaching experience influenced me to pursue a graduate degree through a program deeply rooted in leadership.

Ever since I was a little girl my main long-term goal was to find a career that I loved. I knew that I wanted to put my own level of happiness over income. I also knew that I wanted a job that makes a difference. After numerous family members, teachers and friends asking what I wanted to do after school I began to look within myself to decide what I was passionate about that I could turn into a career. After some self-reflection I determined that I was passionate about loving my family, helping others, school, and softball. Soon it became clear to me that I wanted to become a high school math teacher which would also allow me to coach.

In my lifetime I have gone through a lot of difficult situations, my grandpa died when I was a freshmen in high school and overcame a death of a classmate just a month after my own car accident. I have also learned a lot from all of this things that has happened to me. I have learned that no matter how bad the situation is you still are able to rise above the the worst of things. That your strengths are the things that carry you through tough positions, and enable you to look into the future and see the great things that came out of the hard times.

In my senior year of high school, I had a difficult time choosing a career path. There were numerous options I had, but found myself putting limitations on my ideas. Throughout this time, many of my peers had known exactly what they wanted to do and where they were going to attend college.

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.

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.

When I first started to think about what I wanted my goals to be, it was actually very overwhelming. I have never been one of the skinny girls that can fit into a size two or where extra small shirts. I was always one of the thicker girls that was always buff and alto stronger from playing softball all of my life. While I was playing softball I never really paid attention to what I ate because we were always having to eat at fast food places because of tournaments. I never really gained any weight either simply because I would always be active wither before I ate or right after I ate. Once I stopped playing softball after my senior year ended I never changed my eating habits. I was always sitting at home munching on snacks all day long or going to work and picking up something from McDonald’s before or after work. I gained about five pounds over summer break but I didn’t really think much of it. Once I got to LC I noticed that I wasn’t eating healthy like I should have been. That is when I decided that I wanted to work on my weight and also get a lot of my muscle strength back.

In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, “Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” If I were to put the passion I have for my goals into one sentence this would describe it perfectly. Although it took me quite some time to realize what I was passionate about, I am very grateful to have found it when I did. Prior to discovering what gave me such a feeling of fervor, having goals and planning for the future did not mean nearly as much to me as it does now. Now that I have a new sense of purpose, it has led me to me setting goals I never thought could be possible. Achieving the perfect balance in my life, getting accepted into at least two of my top colleges, and deciding between two career

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.

One of my chief goals is to continue the progression of myself, personally and as a member of society. The cultivation of my character, and myself as a whole, is the most important thing to strive towards, sp that I can contribute to the world around me. Success, to me is a feeling of fulfillment in knowing that I am doing the best that I can do in every aspect of my life. I want to be proactive and able to make a positive impact in my community and the world at large every day. I know that I will make blunders in my life, but I aim for the occasions when I have aided my fellow man and the world around me to outnumber those.

In life there are certain limits a person can get to. Everything can be achieved as long is wished for and its fight for and done for. My goals and aspirations in life are to become a lawyer to graduate from the University of Arizona and get a good job and to be able to buy a house and car.I plan on achieving my goals by maintaining a plan and follow that plan in order to be achieving my goals persuade myself to do so and to lack in any way. Currently, I'm a senior at Sunnyside high school I try living my life to the fullest and having fun as my time of personal freedom almost up as adulthood is just a few steps ahead not that you can have fun when your older but is a lot different from when you where a teenager and it can though but I know is worth it at the end.

When looking over my behavior the past few days, I noticed quite a few things I would like to change. From extending my workout period, eating smaller portions, or even controlling the amount of time I spend watching television. Even after all of those things the main thing I noticed was that I hardly ever drink water. In a day, I might drink sixteen ounces compared to the recommended sixty-four ounces. So my new goal is beginning on Friday, July 10, 2015 and ending on Friday, August 7, 2015, and I will increase my water intake to at least 60 ounces a day, and will use water bottles to measure my success.
