My Life Goals

Growing up I have always had huge goals set for myself and I have had a lot of obstacles that have had a big impact on where I want to go in life. Those obstacles made me realize that maybe I can be different my life and that lead me to where I am today, senior year at Mountain View High School. I’m Caroline Kalcheff, and this is how I used my past issues to develop my future goals and dreams.

In my community, I volunteer immensely with the 4-H and FFA youth in Pima County and Arizona. I am a cavy judge at local shows throughout the year, as well as a certified shooting sports leader to teach 4-H members safe shooting techniques with rifles. I was also given the opportunity to volunteer with Future Farmer of America student members through my sorority, Sigma Alpha. I will be volunteering with the Meat Evaluation CDE at the State CDE Day, and have applied to be a Camp Counselor at the Arizona State FFA Camp held at Camp Shadow Pines in Herber, Arizona in June. Volunteering with youth involved in agriculture has allowed me to give back to a community that gave me so much during my youth. 4-H transformed me into the young woman I am

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.

At the end of my senior year of high school, I had to make a senior portfolio; part of the project was to write down your goals and make a timetable for where you see yourself in five or ten years. I wrote that my goal in life is to be happy and I skipped the timetable because if my goal is to be happy then I can’t plan out how to obtain that goal. Who knows what will make me happy in five years? Life is constantly changing; nothing actually stays the same. It is important to set goals for yourself, but my idea of goals is different. I want to be happy and my goal is to take whatever smaller steps are necessary to get there.

Socrates was right when he said that future will not be what you will expect it to be. People think that what they want will happen, but in reality the chances are 50-50. Some might get lucky sometimes and some will be disappointed. We should not depend on the future, instead we should live in the present time, without making any goals because the result could be either positive or negative. Once when I was in high school I wanted to take a certification exam for computer technician to get certified and get a job at Best Buy. Then, when I registered

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.

In order to feel positive about future possibilities it is important to identify, explore and set goals about who and what we would like to be in the future. Our chances of enjoying our future are improved if we set goals and develop plans/strategies to achieve them.

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

Goals are future plans and intentions of an individual. They are a fantastic motivational tool, not to mention that they give our lives a deeper sense of purpose. Striving for them and working hard to achieve them can give a roadmap to our actions, and by rearranging our existences around our ambitions, we run a lower risk of wandering off the metaphorical path or letting our short lives on this Earth end without completing all that we wanted to do. Modern civilization is set apart from long gone generations in this sense. While our ancestors were limited to hunting, gathering, and simply keeping the human race alive, the people of recent times are able to rely on those things to be done, and can instead focus on making their dreams a reality. I, too, have a set of goals for my own future.

You must keep the vision of your desired, future achievement in the forefront of your mental focus. If you build a vision of your future that is

Create a list of goals you want to achieve in your life or moments you want to experience. Consider all aspects of your life from the wellness wheel above. The purpose of this activity is to let go of the grips food has on your decisions and allow yourself to move freely through life with a sense of purpose (let go of the timeline and any minute details) let your imagination run wild and create intentions that you would like to move

My long term goal is to become a profiler in the BAU. In ten years, I can see myself still in college, working to get a bachelors degree in either psychology or criminal justice, and maybe even in sociology and forensic science. While also gaining at least three years of experience as an agent before applying as a Special Agent and qualifying for at least one of the FBI Special Agent Programs in either law, language, accounting, computer science/information technology, or diversified. I would also have to be older than 23, but younger than 37. I would analyze criminal cases for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to get a psychological, behavioral and legal profile of the unsub (Unknown Subject).

Considering my current lifetime goals, all of the academic and extracurricular activities that I am taking play a positive role in achieving my goals. Goals which include being able to study educational material efficiently, to be able to play a positive role to my community and to improve myself as a human being.

One of the most important key factors to succeeding throughout your life is creating goals for yourself. Some goals are short-term that can be accomplished within a year, while others are long term goals that you work for over a long period of time. Majority of the goals that I have set for myself require hard word, dedication, and planning. To achieve the goals that I have set for myself, I attend an institution that drives my creative mind in a direction that will bring prosperity and achievement. Receiving an education from Spelman college has enabled me to become a critical thinker in a society that is diverse. The three main goals that I have set for myself are based upon ways I can strive in my academic journey, personal life, and

In the year 2028, I will be twenty-eight years old having my bachelor's in life science education from Heidelberg University, and possibly a Master’s in a particular science field such as biology or chemistry to make me even more marketable as an educator. When I was younger I always thought of myself becoming a science teacher due to my heavy interest in all my science classes. My interest in the sciences only grew as I went into high school, confirming the idea of me becoming a teacher for a career. I especially loved the intensified details at the high school level causing me to want to teach high school sciences. I also do plan on being a Heidelberg alumni for the sport of volleyball, increasing my knowledge of the sport I love. I then hope to incorporate the lessons I learned from playing into coaching volleyball — hopefully at the school that I
