My Shortcomings

For my first goal, it is imperative that I obtain an 80% or higher in all my classes for at least one semester during my first two years at University of Maryland (UMD). Accomplishing this goal will guarantee my continuation of the Academic Achievement Program (AAP), and having a B or higher in every class will exempt me from falling below a 2.0. This is SMART goal because it states exactly what I want to achieve for all my classes in one semester. It is measurable and timely because I have given myself four chances to achieve one goal for only one semester. It is achievable if I take advantage of all of my resources, such as my professors, peers, tutors, and the writing center. I will utilize these

Because I have identified several tools given to me – and that I am aware of my purpose, I can now set goals. My most immediate short-term goals as a college student include: becoming proficient at balancing my time well, soaking up the information that I am being taught, making great grades, serving my community, traveling and studying abroad, and attaining internships and scholarships.

Without writing them down, they would only be notions and most likely would only achieve ideas, not goals. As a result, I have written down the goals I spoke of above and will reach them. Meeting other people in my career field, becoming a well rounded individual, and receiving my mechanical engineer degree are important to my future. With these goals, I will attain my educational goals at the University of California, Los Angeles and it will set me up to accomplish my personal career aspirations that I have set for my future. Furthermore, if I keep on track, my future will look bright and I will have an exciting life in the years to come.Therefore, I will achieve the goals that I have set forth for the growth of my

Primarily, before I was able to use my time management skill to benefit my academic success as a student at Miami this term, I had to follow certain procedures. The first thing I did in the beginning of this semester was that I created a, To Do, list to help me identify a few items and the reasons for doing them. I create these lists every Sunday to guide me through my weeks of school. The first thing in the list is to make sure I go to sleep on time, so I can wake up on time and arrive on time in class every day. Another method I follow is the daily and weekly planner which helps me writing down my appointments, classes’ times, and meetings’ times on a

I am currently a student at the University of Texas at San Antonio for almost a whole semester now. I came to this school straight out of high school, not knowing what I was getting myself into. During my high school years, I was good at every subject except my writing class. Coming to UTSA, I knew I was going to struggle in my writing class, but that didn’t discourage me from not trying my best in the course. Going through the English program, I realized that I have some strengths and weaknesses in the class, and it encouraged me to do better. The essays I have written for this class demonstrate that I have developed a strong thesis, organization skills, and detail; however, I still need to improve on grammar, keeping the POV, and citing.

my goals in graduating college. I do not feel that I am a great writer, so please be patient while reading

In order to be successful academically there are some things we need to know, goal setting is one of them and maybe not a lot of us know how to meet educational goals without getting side tracked by other things that are going on in our life. I had no idea how much I needed to think about how I would help myself continuing my academic success until this general education class I had to take opened my mind to new ideas. Setting educational goal

My first goal in this class will be to work on my bad habit of procrastination.

I always make a promise to myself if you can achieve this goal set yourself a higher, push yourself harder be smarter, don't stop here god gave you a purpose here on earth either you use it, or you lose it everyday you wake up god gave you another day of life to do things better then you did yesterday. Everyday I wake up I follow that motto god gave you another day to do better then you did yesterday. I hope to get out of attending college socially, academically, socially, creativity, and personally is I hope to become more open and outgoing learning to be more comfortable with others. I hope to get knowledge not only for my career goal but also for life it self. I want to become more creative with my ideas learn to open up and express my thoughts with others and not just keep everything to myself, I feel I be having great ideas but I chose to keep things to myself I hope to overcome that, and something personally I really don't have nothing personal to overcome. MY goals to get out of this class is to get helped more with learning teach meomething I don't know or just something I want to

I’ll be honest, I really don’t have many goals. I usually just try to live in the moment, as cheesy as that sounds. I do whatever makes me happy, like watching Pulp Fiction while writing this. Samuel L. Jackson is an amazing actor; you want to know who his inspiration was along with mine? Bernie. Freaking. Mac. Now back to this essay, a lot of my classmates’ goals are probably better than mine and I’m okay with that. My goals pertain to me and they may even change in the future whether or not I achieve

By the end of my senior year, my main priority, like any other senior, is to wear my cap and gown, walk across the stage, and receive my high school diploma. To accomplish this goal, I must continue excelling in school with all A’s and maintaining my diligent study skills. I also need to take as many dual enrollment courses at Clayton State University as possible in order to shorten my time in college. After graduating, the next leading goal is to get accepted into either Emory University or University of Georgia, but preferably Emory. Should Emory accept me, then I definitely need to apply to and receive scholarships like Gates Millennium and Zell Miller, for example. In addition, I desire to preserve my current rank as the salutatorian. Perhaps if I persevere more, then I could possibly graduate as the valedictorian. To do this, I can always study harder and receive tutoring about topics I do not completely comprehend. Also, somewhere along the lines, I hope that can obtain a job as a

Having gone through STP, I learned that I still need help combating procrastination. My time management throughout the Summer Transitional Program was the best that it has ever been in my entire schooling career. However, I know that my time management still needs to improve in order for me to easily complete each assignment. One thing that has been a tremendous help was learning how to implement a to-do list and writing assignments down. Having a schedule makes it easier to remember what I have to do.

Afterwards I addressed my essay skills, I did so by simply writing weekly and analyzing feedback from an online essay rater. However this hardship proved to provide many benefits. As I did not choose to improve rather than ignore my poor English skills, my scores in both English class and the SAT and ACT have increased. My eventually self reliance provided me with a greater sense of work ethic, responsibility, and tenacity. Now that I am rather sanguine about my essays, I feel much more confident in applying for colleges. I have always wanted to acquire a professional occupation, now that I have the application skills I found new goals. Some of my new found goals include my dream to become a biomedical

As I continue my journey in my new chapter of life, I have set new goals and standards for college. My first goal is to achieve the standards for the Honor’s Program. To be in the Honor’s Program would be amazing; I am looking to achieve the challenges that the Honor’s Program have for me to face and I am looking at it for the benefits and having it on my diploma as an achievement I have completed. The second goal is to be the top student in my class with straight A’s, so I can be a Principle Scholar in college. The final goal for college is to have my graduation gown cover with cords with completion I have done in college. As I reach for the stars with my career I want to achieve everything possible. My ultimate goal is to be the director

Students can avoid procrastination by following the S.M.A.R.T. goal guidelines. All of your goals should be specific (s), measurable (m), achievable (a), realistic (r), and time-sensitive (t). A specific goal is clear, focused, concise, and well-defined (“Ensure Your Success”). Instead of a general goal like “I want to get my degree,” turn that into something more specific like “I am going to get my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from George Mason University” (“Ensure Your Success”). To make goals measurable, establish timelines and dates so you can measure your progress and stay on track to meet targets. Goals need to be achievable. Evaluate your own work ethic, see what you’re willing to do, and shape your goal around that so you know it is something you’re capable of doing. A goal needs to be realistic, something that you are
