My Major Goals For Planning My Career

Going to college has been a dream of mine growing up. I am the first ever in my family to go to college but figuring out how to pay for it has been a challenge. I desire to achieve my academic and career goals and this scholarship can help me succeed in my journey.

My short-term career goals are to complete nursing school, pass the National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse (NCLEX), and become a registered nurse. I start at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Nursing this fall; I am expected to graduate in the spring of 2018. I am interested in becoming a pediatric nurse at first. My long-term career goals would be to specialize in either pediatrics or neonatal nursing.

My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors that criminals poses may help solve or even prevent a crime. In addition, having a degree will help open different paths in life, ones that may present me with greater job opportunities. My attitude toward the learning process will help my achievement of each goal because I am eager, determined and motivated. My greatest desire is to succeed in life, and obtaining an education is one thing I know will help me. I perhaps will need to make some adjustments along my journey. I do not know yet if I will find another educational path that intrigues me the most. For now, I do not feel that any adjustments need to be made.

What are your specific career goals for the future? How does this scholarship fit into your plans to achieve these goals?

I learned how to be a master student by taking responsibility for my actions and my life. I set a discovery plan so I can clearly state what I want. I’m planning on getting a educational advisor so I can map out my degree before I transfer. This class has taught me how to be responsible for my studies and how to be a good student.

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

My current career goals include working in the field of microbiology. Although, I am at a crossroads regarding my path of study: becoming a pathologist (medical doctor) or gaining a Masters as a microbiologist. I am highly interested in conducting research for the CDC or other firms in studying viruses and other pathogens and developing vaccines or cures. My interest for pathogens started as a child when I would watch countless zombie films. I later discovered I was more interested in the disease and the idea of a pandemic than the actual zombie thriller. In high school I enrolled in science classes and researched more about pathogens and occupations involving microorganisms and determined that I would pursue a career in microbiology. My interest

In the MSM-Finance program, through the core courses ‘Empirical finance’, ‘Derivatives and risk management’, and ‘Investment Management’, I can conceptualize real-world financial problems with a broad range of analytical methods. Besides, the courses of the Financial Big Data Track, such as, ‘Quantitative Risk Modeling’ and ‘Applications in Financial Big Data’ will greatly strengthen my quantitative, evaluative and problem-solving skills. In the future, I am confident of my career success, which will enable me to better contribute as an

One of the videos was in regards to time management. I found this video to be the utmost informative. While in nursing school, I know that it is important to dedicate not only time, but the effort into learning as well. In this video it explained the importance of setting a clear goal. My goal is to walk across the stage in May 2019, and receive my pinning. In order to reach my aspiration, I need to concentrate on the right substance, and disregard distractions. The first step in doing this was purchasing a calendar. Within my calendar I have mapped out my entire semester. This includes

My academic and career goals are to attend the University of Mount Olive in the fall of 2017. I hope to graduate with an undergraduate degree in Agribusiness and Communications. Upon completing my undergraduate studies and internship experiences, I plan to work my way up in the public relation corporate ladder for a major Agribusiness. I have a passion for public speaking and writing, to communicate information effectively, whether it is facts or inspiration. Agricultural communications is just as important as working in a biotechnology lab.

I also plan to get my passport and look into study abroad options for my sophomore year. During this summer I have learned very important time management skills. I will most definitely apply this skill in during my fall and spring semester. None of the things on my list will ever get done unless I create a very detailed schedule and I have to make sure that I follow it. Scheduling is the most important concept that I have learned during STP. In order to avoid stress I must take at least an hour, every week, preferably Sundays to schedule what I have to

In taking the first year experience class at Bellevue college, my goal is to learn how to use time management. As a student here on canvas I feel it is going to be a major part of my success in regards to my grade point average. I want to make sure I'm organized and turn my assignments in on time. Being able to talk to counselor's about any concerns and being able to open up. I'm hoping through school, I learn more about myself and the different ways I personally learn. Having the help and guidance of Bellevue college assisting me with achieving my goals. I want to keep learning more about the process of college and how to succeed. I plan by the end of this first quarter to be able to effectively manage my time in a way that is positive

As a child my grandfather would often utter a quote that to this day can loosely model my career goals; “Shoot for the moon, son. Even if you miss you’ll land among the stars.” Like many, my short-term career goals at Y-12 are things like: aspiring each day to motivate and uplift those around me, giving my all to bring a more positive image to our work, and trying my best to learn all that I can from my brilliant colleagues. Long-term, my goals are to graduate from Tennessee Technological University with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, and a minor in Physics. While working at Y-12 after graduation, I hope to continue my education at The University of Tennessee Knoxville seeking a Graduate degree in Nuclear Engineering and a Master’s in Business Administration. After graduation my hope is to continue work at Y-12 as a Nuclear Scientist until further opportunities present themselves.

I have worked in both the high technology and biotechnology industries supporting engineering and operations in startup, low and high volume and cGMP manufacturing environments.

From an early age I learned that our very best is often brought to action when we willingly take on challenges and persevere with grace through trying times. As a widowed, single mother, my mom strove for excellence in every area of her life in order to put food on the table for her children. She studied to be a nurse, quickly rose in to administration, became the first in our family to obtain a Masters in Business Administration (MBA), and earned a seat as a director for an international healthcare organization. Her determination and positive spirit served as a great example and sparked a passionate drive in my life to help others while striving for greatness.
