My Study On The Goal Entering College

Ever since I was young, I was exposed to a Historically Black College or University, Jackson State University. I had always went to activities and functions such as football games, summer programs, and other special events. I did not know whether I would attend a historically Black College or University (HBCU) or not at the time. I had finally decided to go to a HBCU, and I would attend Tougaloo College in the fall to further my education. I have many goals and objectives for pursing my educational experience at a historically Black College, and I plan to achieve them.

I have decided on what I wanted to do with college since I was a child. It sounds ridiculous, but I am passionate about what I want to do. I was inspired at a very young age since I was in third grade, and I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. A teacher for what grade is what I did not know. As my family grew bigger with my nephews and nieces, I realized that I wanted to be surrounded by kids. I put what I wanted with my passion and got major. My intended major is to receive a double major in Primary and Elementary education, my goal is to receive a Masters in at least one of these majors.

1) Memory is the act of reviewing or processing of what has been studied. We use memory to learn and think in our everyday lives. Memory is a personal library in our brain for us to look back at information we encounter in our lives. While doing research on this paper I stumbled upon a lot of informations about memory and tips and trick to improve our memory. In chapter 7 of Karen Huffman and Katherine Dowdell's textbook, I learned amazing new bits knowledge into how we recall information and why we forget. Memory is broken up into three parts. You have encoding, storage, retrieval. Encoding is the introductory learning data. Storage is the maintenance of encoded data over time. Retrieval is the ability to get to the data when you need it. All three of memory stages figures out if something is recollected or forgotten. Students will likely not remember

The ultimate goal of a college education today is to prepare young adults for the “real world,” being the workforce. Nowadays, it is crucial to have a sharp wit, positive attitude, and innovative ideas to bring to the table. Colleges should provide lessons for these skills and teach students how to apply them in real-life situations. Priming a graduate for professional settings is a key component to lead a successful career. In order to work a suitable occupation, a person should know how to search for an appropriate and quality job. Research is of utmost importance, especially when exploring the job force. Susan Svrluga from The Washington Post states, “Finding a job is a lifelong skill that most of us will use eight times or more during

My goals after college is to come out and feel satisfied with the things I've learned and to also come out and easily find a job. I think selecting film as my program with help me achieve these goals. I've always been interested with film making and have always loved making them. Ever since I was young I would always find myself making videos or movies with friends, and I was always the one that would come up with the ideas. I feel I will have a greater chance of getting the a job if I am a graduate of North Carolina State University.

It wasn't often a personal thought of mine that there would be such a stark difference between a high school graduate and a college graduate in regards to a healthy lifestyle and a decent salary. It wasn't until recently that I fully understood the complications of not finding a decent job that pays a suitable amount to not only support myself, but much less a family. It's these complications that bring light to my mind on the importance of gaining college experience and why it's extremely critical in not only my life but the life of those around me. College is just an absolute essential factor in life that all of us should drive towards in order to better our lives.

I am not the first in my family to go college but I don’t get much guidance when it comes to preparing for college and the bridge from high school to college. the system of getting into college has changed immensely since my parents were going through it so they cant advice me much. I have no older siblings or cousins that have been through the process either so I am mainly on my own to figure out what I need to achieve my goals of becoming a doctor. my parents push me to sign up for programs like the UNCF portfolio project and their goal for me is to go to an ivy league school.

One of my major goals in high school is to get into college. Now, this might seem trivial, as these days two out of every three high school students enroll in college immediately after graduation. What’s the big deal? Well, I don’t want to just go to any old community college or public university, I want to go to the top schools, the Ivy League, Stanford, MIT, and schools of equal prestige. This is a way to a successful future.

Personal Goals As A College Student Beginning college is like beginning a new chapter in life. There are new problems and responsibilities that have to be dealt with. Along with the new obstacles that come with being a college student, there are also new goals that must be set to ensure a road to success for the proceeding years. As a college student, I hope to accomplish a few things.

Already getting started next year, I enrolled into a psychology class to get a jumpstart for when I go into college. I chose to enroll into the psychology class because the human mind is something that is very complex and diverse. By me taking this class, I am partially more ahead and more taught than that of a student who doesn’t take the class. And that way, when I get into the psychology major, I have a small intake of what it is all about.

There are multiple difficulties that I will face as I work toward my goal of earning my degree in nursing. I am a mother of a little boy with special needs. My son has Wolf-Hirschhorn Syndrome and he’s sick frequently, when he gets sick he usually has seizures, so unless someone is CPR certified I don’t let anyone watch him. That being said, child care for my son will be one of the biggest difficulties I will face. I will probably miss a lot of school for that reason. Finances may also be a problem I face. I don’t have a very stable financial situation, but to be honest, what college student does? Life throws unexpected set-backs every day. You never know when your car will break down, it snows too much to get to school, or you wake up with the flu.

In establishing my first learning aim, I had to make slight changes because originally I had used this as my personal aim, in where I wanted to gain confidence in handling conflict throughout the various situations I was put in with my placement. With the advice from my academic advisor my original idea of this learning aim was too vague and difficult for myself to create links on integrating theory with gaining confidence. From that given recommendation by my student advisor, this introduces my first learning aim.

Everyone should have personal goals that evolve around anything that needs to be accomplished. I set goals on a daily basis. One goal that I seem to have not truly focused on has been my college education. Considering all things, I decided I needed to focus on my college education. The first thing I needed to accomplish was to enroll in an institution for higher learning. Now that my enrollment is complete, I am an official student at the University enrolled in the undergraduate program for business management. As a student at the university, I now have to set personal goals so that I will be successful in my endeavors. My personal goals are to gain personal growth and development and graduate from my undergraduate program in business

Every experience that I have faced in my life has made me the person I am today. Every up and down has affected me one way or another. Good or bad; I would never change anything that has happened to me. It has allowed and pushed me to grow up in a way that I never thought I could. I have been blessed with so many adventures and opportunities throughout my high school career.

I come from a family who has never gone far in their education. I have been determined to change that. One of the biggest goals I've had in my life was to be the first person in my family to attend college, and that’s exactly what I am doing. I plan to obtain a bachelor's degree in theatre arts with a performance emphasis. I first walked across a theatre stage at the age of eleven, and I fell in love. After my first performance in sixth grade, I continued to say I was going to become a theatre major. Now, that dream is becoming a reality. I have selected my major because I will be able to do what I love (acting) and I will be able to work in the environment I have been dreaming about for years. After receiving my degree, I plan to attend graduate school to take obtain my master’s degree. I believe because I am the first person to go to college in my family I should go the whole 9 yards. I would like to receive two majors and a minor, even though I am not sure what the additional ones will be. Although those are my educational goals, I have some even bigger life goals.
