Personal Narrative: My Goals After College

My College and Career goals include graduating college and getting a job. I wish to attend the University of Alabama. I plan to major in occupational therapy or speech therapy. After I graduate with my bachelor's degree I wish to get my master's degree. After I finish my schooling I want to receive a job that allows me to provide for my family. I wish to receive this job in my degree's field. After receiving this job I wish to improve to reach a leadership role.

I am an out of state student, who is paying for college with help from my parents. Due to my current living situation, any college that has a Pharmacy program is expensive, because none of the state universities in Massachusetts offers one. I absolutely love what I do, and I simply wish it was not as much of a financial burden as it is.

The droplets of rain emerge from the towering clouds as I step onto the vibrant green grass for the first time. I lock eyes with the monstrous building and tilt my head back until I have reached the roof. There I was. A stick-like, puny, first year college student looking at my home for the next four years. Yet I can't manage to take a second step. I stand there, staring at the giant brick block and lift my classic yellow rain jacket hood up over my impressively soft chocolate hair, protecting it from the harm of the rain. Four years of Ireland weather lays ahead of me. Four years of bunk beds in dorms. Four years of competing for the number one student. For years of awkward parties and tests. Four years until I'm out.

I look back at how I write. I actually changed my way after I get into college. When I was in high school, we don’t have writing class, the writing is combined with Chinese class. So we might just take 2 or 3 times writing class each semester. In the writing class, teacher taught us how to write, how to generate our idea. But except writing class we are asked for write, the only writing we need to do is for the exam. In the writing class, I would give some time to think about what I’m going to write, maybe I would write a outline. But for the exam, I don’t have time to do that. The writing part take 40 percent of the grade, but the time we got is depend on how fast we can finish the other parts of the exam. When I finish other parts of the

I wrote this inspirational and persuasive book to stimulate all college bound student’s career decisions. A stimulated choice means that your college aspiration is prayerfully pumped-up with two of God’s counsels: spiritual enrichment and spiritual empowerment. These two activators serve to remind new college students to put God as their first priority.

From a young age, athletics were a very important part of my life and soccer was my passion. Whether it was playing on boy’s teams and summer leagues, or refereeing tournaments and coaching soccer camps, I was constantly trying to improve my game. When I came to college, I was excited to have the opportunity to continue playing soccer. Unfortunately, I received several concussions and I had some complications that ultimately forced me to stop playing soccer after my sophomore year. At first I was distraught, all of my personal goals were gone and I was no longer working with my teammates toward the goals we set together. However, I realized I needed to find new interests and new objectives to work towards during the rest of my time in college.

I am applying for the opportunity to be places in the student affairs and college counseling progam because I have always had an aspiration to help students obtain their educational goal. I am a first generation college student in my entire family and I am a vivid imagine of all the obstacles I had to overcome to obtain my education. For example, some of the obstacles are that I had to work while being a full time student at Fresno State, numerous people doubt and criticize my education and myself for wanting to success, and I had to commute to school which is about 45 minutes away. During these 4 years I has to commute because I am also a caregiver for my two younger brothers. For this reason, I made the decision to apply to the master program

As a college graduate, I would probably be perplexed if I were offered a lump sum of $5,000 sign-on bonus for my first post-college job. There are a number of things to consider when deciding whether to pay off existing debt or invest the money for additional earning potential. The first thing that I would consider is my risk tolerance including my age, income, earning power, time horizon and tax situation (Artzberger, 2014). My age at the time would weigh into the decision heavily. Meaning, at this time, I am relatively young and the time value of $5,000 at 5% interest would be approximately $21,000. Since I have paid taxes on the money, I could invest in a Roth IRA for tax-free gains upon retirement. On the other hand, paying off debt may

My post secondary goals involve going to a 4 year college and becoming an industrial engineer. Math and science are essential in any field of engineering. My passion for these subjects is reflected in my work key's scores. I earned gold for both applied mathematics and reading for information, and silver for locating information. Industrial engineers should know how to set up and solve problems , read graphs and how to read directions. Based on my scores, I believe I can excel in engineering.

Most employers will not want to hire “college kids” fresh from college. It is all about experience: how much experience one has or how little experience one has. Most employers are looking for someone who already knows what they are doing, not someone who has to be taught everything. Now, there are few employers who prefer people without experience because they can be molded. Those kind of employers do not want someone with experience because they do things differently. For example, I work at Subway. My boss would rather hire new people because he can shape them into what he wants. We have had two people who worked at previous Subways, and it is harder to train them in what he likes versus what they were taught. It confuses

Most children live in a quiet neighborhood where they play for long hours all day without scraping a knee. Others come from less ideal circumstances. Now you are probably wondering which environment I grew up in. Seeing where this letter came from should tell you that I originate from this less ideal world. I was nurtured by my mother who was raised in a poor community in Puerto Rico and occasionally with my father who was raised in the streets of New York City. With their intentional love, in addition with the boundaries that they have set for me, they have made a path for me to grow up in without being affected by the cities dangerous nature.

My goals going into college is to be the best that I can be, put forth 100 percent effort in everything that I do, work my way up to being on the Dean’s list, and become a starter basketball player for my school’s team. The goals I’ve listed was chosen because I know for a fact that I can accomplish anything that I put my mind to and also I plan on being the smartest basketball player in college that’s going to graduate with high honors. In reality I really don’t have a schedule to jungle both academic and social activities. Mainly because everything dealing with my education comes first and whenever I have free time outside of that, that’s where my extracurricular and the other things I like to do comes in and fills in the gaps. When it comes

The college process is extremely stressful and pressurizing. There barely even was an option to not go to college. Almost all the adults spent our senior year trying to convince the seniors that college is the biggest decision of your life. If you don’t go now, you will become a failure and have no job, and no future. They would then proceed to tell us that we should lean on God’s voice to guide us, but not His actual voice because then that wouldn’t be God. That there is no right way to hear from God, but plenty of wrong ways. This left my senior church group feeling overwhelmed and confused.

With being the first in my family to go to college the obvious goal for me is to graduate on time and obtain a degree. However my goals are more than just graduating. My goals for college is to graduate on the Dean’s List, and becoming active in my community; My goals after college is to be able to operate several small businesses, take care of my family, give back to my community, and buy my mom a house.

The goals that I have set for myself has galvanized my actions and motivated me to do my absolute best. In high school my plan was to graduate with honors and go to the college of my choice. While pursuing the major of my choice, Business Administration, and also having enough scholarships to help me grow as an honest worker in society. A degree to me is more than a document qualifying you for jobs. It is a trophy that I will win after running this long marathon we call school. Colin Powell stated “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure.” Being a young African American male, raised in a single parent household has driven me to set out and find all assets to assist me with my degree. Once I get my degree it will further society in many ways, my main way to further society is by influencing the youth financially and also inspiring the young African American males
