My Goals In School Education

When I thought about my future and where I 'll be going, I thought I would be attending a university like all of my friends in high-school. I never thought I would be attending a community college. I really hated the idea of community college. I thought it was for people who had low ACT score or people who didn 't really try as hard as others in school. I always tried hard in school even when things got hard I still tried my best. I never thought it would be for me until I saw the benefits of attending a community college. I attend a two year college because I felt like I had a better opportunity to talk to my professor , also to better myself improving my knowledge by stepping out of my comfort zone.

My educational goals were to get a certificate in Health Information Technology as a certified coder. But I change my mind and decided to get my associates degree because it provides me with more opportunities in the field. I can choose many different careers such as health information analyst, insurance claims analyst, records technician specialist, etc. With this degree I can improve my family financial situation and be an example to my children that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything.

For my educational plans, I have a clear understanding and vision of where I want to go and who I have the desire to be. For now, I would like to graduate with my Associates in Arts degree in Nursing from Indian River State College. I believe Indian River State is an excellent place to begin my journey and recieve my education in order to better prepair myself for what is yet to come. After I recieve my Associates degree from Indian River, I plan to transfer to the University of South Florida in order to extend my education and potentially recieve my Bachelors and Masters of Science degree in Nursing.

An experience in a biomedical research will help me to succeed in my long-term educational goals. My long-term goal is to attend a MD-PHD program at a Medical School. As a scientist, I would like to study the genetics of disease causing organisms and human genetics. Currently, I am studying Biochemistry at the University of Maryland, which I think will equip me with a knowledge of human biochemistry. However, since undergraduate schools mainly focus on theoretical not the practical application of most subjects, I need to participate in a hands on research project over the summer because It will give me an opportunity to apply my knowledge in a laboratory. This is when the summer research program at the University of Maryland school of medicine

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.

Firstly, I chose to go to college for personal reasons. I never thought that I was able to accomplish going to college, especially after I began having children. My mother never made it past the tenth grade. For her being a single mother of six, she made it crystal-clear that she would not accept any of us not graduating from high school. I am the only one of my siblings ever to attend college. Going to college was never a goal set for us in our household while growing up as kids. Even though my mother did not shy away from the topic, it was not forced upon us as motivational either. This new progression will be life changing for me and my

From the time that I was in elementary school, my education was very important to me. I often spent my time in books during my childhood, and this got me up to a college reading level by the fifth grade. I have always worked hard to keep my grades high, my head in books, and to educate myself every chance that I get because I knew that I wanted to go to college even as a young child. Throughout my K-12 education, I worked hard and was an honor roll student. I was able to graduate high school a year early with a 3.65 GPA, and achieved high SAT scores with hard work and dedication. When it was time to choose a college after graduating high school, I went with Calhoun Community College. I have maintained a 3.9 GPA there, and my classes have all been online.

I would like to share my background story and growing up in a small town. No one in my family has attended college. I will be the first to graduate high school and community college at the same time. I have come to love school. At a very young age I understood the kind of power, knowledge holds. When I was only twelve years old, I had decided that I was going to sacrifice my friends to pursue my educational career. A small town girl like me wanted to attend Robeson Early College High School to get her high school diploma and Associate degree in Science. Every day that I went to school it opened a new door for me. Knowledge has gave me so many opportunities that I didn't even know were out for a small town girl like me. Through knowledge and

As cliche as it may sound, college was never an option that I gave myself. Going to college was more of an obligation that I set for myself when I started enter the field of education as a student. In my household, the goal of getting into college was always around me. The daily discussion in my household when it comes to the discussion about school, always starts with, “When I get to college”. When I have discussions with adults and career counselors about my career choice, I always start off with, “When I finish college”. A college education is important in my family, and I have been taught the values of having a college degree can guarantee me a successful job in life. My mother continually pushed me towards the entrance of college,

College has always been of my biggest dreams, like it is for any kid. We all want to make it big, and live a comfortable lifestyle, and be able to say that we succeeded at life. There were points in my life where I didn’t think I would even able to go to community college though, let alone a giant university in my home state.

I am originally from Shreveport Louisiana, my family moved to Texas in my late teens and lived in Longview until enlisting into the United States Marine Corps as a Flight Mechanic on the KC-130T. I currently work as the Assistant Superintendent at Gavilon Grain in Saginaw Texas where we service the local flour mills. I have been accepted to UNT and will begin classes in the fall for a BAAS in Applied Technology and Performance Improvement. My educational career goal is to attend law school and become an

As a child, college was set up as a crucial milestone. Attending college and becoming a professional was a necessity growing up in my household. I am currently attending college because I want to become a dance teacher for the Miami-Dade County Public School System and restore the discipline that has been lost over numerous years. I have already been looked at as a role model by my younger family members and by my current students; therefore, receiving my college degree would help me continue to inspire those around me to do great things. If asked to leave the college due to academic failure, I would feel like a let down to the people that have been rooting to see me succeed. Although college is stressful, I have faith that it will be one of my most deserved achievements after overcoming the obstacles of poor time management, health/personal issues, and lack of sleep.

College has always been on my mind, getting far in life and doing something I always wanted it to do is my goal. I will be the first one in my family to attend college and I’m proud of it. I want to be a professional, I want to get an education so I can set a good example for my future kids. My family is happy that I’m attending college I want to do it for them but mainly for me. College is going to provide me new opportunities, going to meet new people, job opportunities, and a higher education level.

Most people dreams of going to an outstanding college for the prestige, but I dreamt of going to college to get away from my family. This might sound harsh, but I was not happy with my family situation. It was a hard decision, but I eventually decided that I needed to leave to become happy. Furthermore, I linked most of my problems with my living situations. It might have been tunnel vision, but living with my parents causes me incredible stress.

From the first time that I heard the word “college,” until now, I have never doubted my decision of furthering my education after high school. An education is something that can be taken for granted by many, but I’ve never allowed myself to do so. Since the day that I realized the purpose of school, I have placed my entire focus on it.
