My Life Goals

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.

Helping in impoverished communities has been a goal of mine for many years now. I go on mission trips to Jamaica for two weeks at a time, every year, for the past three years. These mission trips have shaped me into the person I am today and they have also carved out the path in which I want to lead my life. For many years now, I have wanted to work in a place like Jamaica and provide medical care. This is obviously a long-term goal, because who would let an 18 year old give them medical advice? Having said that, I have a plan on how I am going to accomplish this goal. Built into this plan is many different short-term goals, but in the end my long-term goal is to become a doctor and work in developing countries like Jamaica.

My second goal specifically is to get a position in the human resources department with my current employer within the next six months. Gaining a position in the human resources department puts me one step closer to achieving my long-term goal of becoming a human resource manager. The goal is measurable because I plan to apply to any position I see posted in the human resources department that interest me and align with my professional goals. The goal is attainable because I have access to our job postings website and I plan to check this website for updates at least twice per week. This is a reasonable goal because I sometimes have downtime at work, which would allow me to use that time to search for new postings and even apply. This goal is time-bound because I gave myself a deadline of six months to achieve it. With my updated resume, experience and now my current course of study at Western Governors University, it makes me a desirable candidate for a position in HR.

A big goal I have for myself is to continue growing and developing as a musician. I want to gain as much experience as I can as a music educator as well as a private teacher. I believe in order to be a successful teacher whether it is in a classroom or private studio setting, the more techniques and strategies you have to teach with the more successful you will be. Working with Crystal Malinski at Foundation Music School has been such an amazing and eye opening experience for me. I have observed and learned so many techniques and strategies as well as having the opportunity to interact with students. Something I really want to improve up is reaching out to schools around Fort Collins and asking to observe their music classes in order to get

My primary goal is to spiritually help people throughout the community. Studying to teach math will guide me to support other young people struggling in Math. In addition, volunteering will help me feed hungry people and provide refuge if I start a business in the future. In high school, I developed many friendships along the way. Many people would consider going to college without making friends; however, making friends is imperative to my life so I can be a friend to bullied children and injured people. In addition, I desire to be writer in order to speak about people’s challenges in their lives and to demonstrate how to accomplish their goals; in the future, these stories speak truth in a corrupted world. In school, studying math and creative

I am a single mom, full-time student, and substitute teacher. I made a positive choice in my life to return to college as a degree-seeking, non-traditional student; as it has always been a childhood dream of mine to be the first person in my family to attend and graduate from college! I am close to my short-term goal accomplishment of earning my Bachelors of Arts Degree in Psychology. One of my long-term goals is to become a psychologist in order to make a better life for me and my children, as well as helping others and giving back to my community. I value my education, and in addition to being very ambitious, I focus on my studies to maintain higher grades which will help to open up opportunities for employment in the field of Psychology.

Many people exercise, climb mountains, compete in extreme sports, and the list could go on all to better one’s self. While one may compete against others, the main goal is best personal goals. To me, that is what going to college and gaining a higher education is about. I do not have a family that has forced me to go, or who even will known when I have accomplished my goals. What I have is the experience of exercising my brain, overcoming financial mountains, and pushing myself to what many times feels like extreme limits. A higher education not only allows one to push beyond what one believes they can do, it allows one to be an example of what the next student can accomplish. College and higher education is about the paving of paths

Goals are something that people set themselves and work hard to complete. These goals can be something you want to complete in your life. Everyone has many goals they are fighting to get to. I have many goals that I wanted to do throughout my life. In this essay, I will write about three most important goals in my life. The first goal is education, and the second goal is family and the third goal are to build my own house.

I would have to say that my life task will be to be a problem solver. In the video “Tom Kelley(Founder-Ideo) - Do What You Love” the Venn diagram utilized by Jim Collins shows that with a good balance you can find your life task. Fourteen years ago, I used to work for Hewlett Packard and like the Venn diagram I was good at it, I was born to do and I got paid to do what I loved, code and solve problems. The environment was good to work, every Friday after work we used to gather outside the building to play dominoes. I would say if you asked myself where I saw me in five or ten years I would have answered that I would be working at Hewlett Packard. But that was not how it happened my division was the first one to go after the Compaq merger. This is probably my starting point for my mastery journey.

Everyone’s individual interests can eventually lead a person onto a certain pathway towards their future goals. The pathway towards your goals is not usually a straightforward line directing you easily to your goals in life, instead the pathway one might take is probably a curvy, looping mess of lines with plenty of stops along the way. Ever since I was a little girl I have had many different interests, some I grew out of as I got older, and some that have evolved and become stronger. Most people say that childhood interests are temporary and do not last long, others say to hold onto your dreams and never let go. I tend to follow the “Never let go” advice given to me. My interests throughout life have always shaped my future goals which will eventually lead to my dream job.

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.

Why i know that im never going to make it anywhere in life where i can sit back and say im happy. I am a failure, i lack what is the most nescesary and vital thing to becoming succsesful and happy. This is drive, the will, the no matter whats coming at me im going to charge full speed right back at it and beat it with everything i have, and after that pick my head up and look for what is behind that.

What I plan to accomplish in my life? Well, there’s a few different things, that will make a everyone see my version of “a bigger picture”. At this very moment I am in my freshman year of college. A small step so far, kind of just testing the water, it’s only week 2. Although, this is step 2 of 3, on my way to my bigger picture. My first goal I plan on accomplishing, is getting a good education, which will lead me to my second goal that I plan to accomplish. My second goal that I plan to accomplish will be to obtain a position at my dream job. Last but not least, my third goal I will accomplish will be, to be known for something life changing. Something that when people hear my name or see my face they will remember the amazing thing I did, to make a change and/or a difference in the world.

During life, expressing certain emotions and knowing the importance of them can determine whether life is short, so be thankful for what you have and for God giving you every breath you take. I believe my faith has helped me grow into the person I am today; as long as I have a family, God and self-respect I will live an amazing life.

Success, failures, experiences, trials, and tribulations usually shape up the life and career of a person. I am no exception to this idea. My experiences have taught me lessons. My mistakes have helped me to grow. My successes have humbled me. My fear of the unknown has helped me face life.
