My Personal 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 high school, I never imagined attending the nation's number one public research institution. It was something that no one from my community had done, and the lack of representation from others in my community seemed to disencourage me from even applying. It was not until my senior year of high school that I began applying to colleges, when my older sister encouraged me to apply to the University of Michigan. She saw potential in the things that I could accomplish, but even her encouragement lacked to make me understand how I could be admitted into this predominately white institution. However, I applied early action and was ecstatic when I was accepted.

In the beginning of the semester, I felt a little annoyed that I had to plan a personal goal. I was afraid that I was going to fail once again during the journey of losing weight. My personal goal was to lose five pounds by April 1, 2016. I had planned to achieve this goal by eating healthier snacks, exercising, and meal prepping. Trying to achieve this goal was not easy. I had a constant temptation of breaking my diet and I kept trying to buy fast food whenever I saw myself tight with my school and work schedule. However, I was able to achieve my goal because I was meal prepping every night, I kept an alarm on my phone to remind me when I should be exercising, I read articles that provided me with a list of healthy foods, I carried a picture

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.

As we are in a New Year, I have set many personal goals that I would like to accomplish to become a better individual. I have always been a person who set goals, whether they are long-term or short term, I always have them. I like to set goals for myself because goals give me guidance throughout life. Now that a new year has approached, I am focusing on three main goals that I would like to achieve at this time. Those three goals include managing my time better, to keep maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and to continue to remain focus this upcoming semester.

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

A long-term personal goal that I have always had for myself is to graduate high school with my academic honors and technical honors diplomas, to get it I had to work my butt off. I had always studied for every test, made sure to at least receive a B or higher on any assignment. The hard work has paid off now because that is the path that I am on now to receiving a diploma. I had a lot of barriers though, like probation and family losses, but I made sure just to focus on me and know that life always goes on and I should

I am 54 years old, living the single life. I live in a household with one other adult, and I am a full-time student and currently a part-time employee. Based on my current situation (Older, Single, No Dependent Children), therefore, my financial activities should include making arrangement for long-term health care coverage, develop an estate plan, purchase an appropriate insurance plan, and develop an investment program for retirement. My financial plan goals are Short-term goals,

My personal goal statement is to achieve, inspire, and conquer all trials and tribulations. I am traveling down a long and treacherous road full of adventure. On this road, I have encountered working for the State of Tennessee, married, two children, two grandchildren, and still working on my education. I achieve to be the best I can be, inspired by the people around me and will overcome anything that comes in front of me.

My short term goal is to maintain my grades that I have in all my classes. I would want to keep my grade point average as high as I possibly can. Currently it is a 4.06 but that is my weighted GPA, being that I have taken five college classes. I took, english 100, english 200, Psychology 100, History 151, and Speech 151. I have passes four of those classes with A's and for English 200 I passed with a B. That helped boost my cummaltive grade point average but I want to pass my high school classes by putting in the work. I would try and not procrastinate, study more, and ask for help. A short term personal goal is to be content, I am always unsatisfied? Negative? So I think that if I can be content with what I have I can learn how to appreiate

I am a third year electrical engineering student. I switched my major from chemical engineering. I am still not sure which concentration in electrical engineering I am going to choose. One thing I want to learn most from this class is the electromagnetic aspect of electrical engineering. I hope this class can provide me with a general idea of electromagnetic and help me decide which concentration I am going to choose. Also, I didn’t particularly like electromagnetic in high school physics classes. I thought it was kind of abstract and useless at the time. So, it is quite exciting for me to learn about how electromagnetic is used in engineering and practical applications.

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.

My short term goals include graduating from high school and beginning college in the fall. I am continuing to research different fields of business to help narrow down what I would like to pursue in the future. I also plan to get a part-time job to help fund my college education, allowing me to graduate with as little debt as possible. This will help me achieve my long term goals more easily.

Everybody in the world has a goal in life. Those goals can be a long-term or a short-term goal. For me as a person in the world I also have a goal in life. My goal in life is Graduating West Ottawa High School successfully in about 2 years, getting accepted to a college/university with any kind of scholarship after high school, and becoming a nurse in my near future. My parents both sacrifice a part of their life so they can give me an opportunity to achieve my goal in life. They both want what's best for me and always said to do my best so i can have a good education, a good career, and a great life.
