Personal Narrative: My Only Educational Goals

Going into college, I would like to peruse many of my goals. I would like to start out getting my general studies in and then build up to become a Registered Nurse. After I accomplish becoming a Registered Nurse I would like to work on becoming a Nurse Practitioner. One reason I am striving to complete these goals is to be able to have a good future and hopefully a good job will come out of this. Neither of my parents went to college and I want to be able to accomplish that for myself.

There are many small things that you learn in a classroom that you do not think will help you in any way. However, things that you first learned in the classroom will be useful when you are in conversations or you are arguing a certain point. An example is the debate activity we did in class which many people took lightly and they really did not appreciate. I will be addressing 3 things I have learned this year and how they are useful when it comes to the real world and the classroom.

We all have little quirks that make us unique. These quirks can be funny, serious, a combination of both, or not any of that. Therefore, when it comes to letting others know about me I can be hesitant as some people already know. All I want is to be able to be me not have to fit in with the crowd. So, if I stand out, more than likely I am not very comfortable with things going on around me. This paper is going to let you know a little more about me as well as including three personal learning goals for this class and one goal to accomplish during the next eight weeks or so.

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

taking notes. Then once I have covered the material for the week I take the practice quizzes online multiple times. I also make flash cards on Quizlet out of the weekly material so I can quiz and drill myself on the material. When exams approach, I reread the materials from the slides and lectures and use the online flashcards I created to study for 3-7 days depending on the subject.

“It’s not what you are that’s holding you back it’s what you think you are not”. This is what was posted on the outside of Ms. Shoffners office door. There a girl stood waiting to be called in for her meet her guidance counselor, shoulder shrugged head down and tears forming in her eyes. She had lost all hope and thought she did not belong. Unlike most counselors, Ms.shoffner had an open door policy. Her door never closed and she was always available. Her motto was “Mom First.Counselor second.” The meeting was supposed to be about “your next step” in other words goals for high school that would lead him or her to their future college. Instead she looked at the distraught trembling girl and shot her the most understanding smile. The girl looked

The number of college students has been trending upwards in the past decade. However, despite the increase in access to college education, different researchers show that the American college students may not be learning as expected (Stoesz, 2013). Learning experience varies among college students. It is not surprising that people with same academic credentials – the same list of course with same grades- have a different learning experience. This essay will explore my experience in college, mainly, what I learned in college.

Eight years ago, I was sitting in front of a computer in tiny cubicle running my fingers across numbers and straining my eyes across stacks of paper checking to make sure every graphic, commercial, and TV rating aired in its rightful spot. While I took being a Log Specialist seriously and did my best to execute what was asked, I was lost internally. I knew that I was meant to do more. That’s when I made the decision to pursue a career in education. I was unsure about being a teacher in the beginning. After I finished getting my Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education at Mercer University, I remembered what it felt like to enter the classroom for the first time. I was scared and nervous, but I was determined to succeed.

My 3 Goals i want to achieve: My first goal would be to improve on my overall maturity. My lack of maturity has let me down multiple times in the past, however, I do believe that I am on top of this issue. It will still be good to improve it. My second goal would be to work on player relations. To elaborate, I am well aware that not all players like me. That's fine, I won't at all let this get in my way of applying, but I would love to resolve a few issues with players. My third and final goal would be to help HcZone expand and reach its full potential! I don't believe that I need to elaborate on this as it's fairly self-explanatory. On another note, I would also like to stay clear of drama. Not starting drama comes under this additional goal.

For a long time I’ve watched and admired successful women such as Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama work to achieve their goals. That has inspired me to set my own goals and check them off upon completion. I started out in the third grade aiming for honor roll and I made it. In the 7th grade once I realized how powerful I was and that I could do anything my list of goals grew bigger and bigger. I wanted to make the track team and I did it, I wanted to make the National Junior Honor Society and because of hard work and dedication I did it. I was empowered and I was moving through my list of short term goals and nothing was stopping me. Now I’m in high school and my goals in life became more relative to where I wanted to be in the future.

my professional goal is to continue receiving training in the technology industry to ensure I stay relevant with my companies goals and direction. My personal goal is to get better everyday and to get my college degree. My motivation to pursue attaining my college degree is that I believe I have found an industry that peaks my interest, Data analytics. This degree will contribute to my long term professional goals by giving me the training and skills to grow in this field. I’m attempting to re-enroll at CSU and my first attempt was not successful. Looking back on it, I can see several reasons I failed. First, I didn’t dedicate the time that is needed to reading every day. Another reason would be I didn’t not take part in any of the message board assignments.

Hello Victoria, I also am seeking a career in the education field. I've had people putting me down for wanting to go into teaching as well. But i don't listen to it, I believe if you're going to have a career it should be doing something you love. Also i think being an educator would be one of the best most rewarding thing. It's great to see how much passion and love you have for it. I haven't met many people who want to go into teaching so it's nice to see that i'm not the only one. I also believe music is so so important and vital in our school systems. I was once a very shy girl in high school and then i found singing and joined chorus. After that I just started opening up and being more confident. I think children and teenagers need art

Please detail any extra-curricular activities, community service or other non-paid activities that you have participated in. (300-500 words)*

From the time a person grows up, they are constantly being asked, “What do you want to be when you’re older?” or “Do you have any goals or aspirations?”. Of course, at a young age, a child could say, “An astronaut with purple hair,” and it is entirely acceptable. As time moves on questions, become more prevalent, and the innovative child response will not cut it. Throughout adolescence, teenagers are pressured into having a solid game plan for their goals; which is not always the best way to go. In high school, I was able to achieve a self-rewarding goal that never once crossed my mind. Often times it is not the aspirations we are forced to make, but the unexpected ones that have the most impact on our lives.

At last I’m a Senior: In twenty years, I will have forgotten most of the things that I have learned in school and from others. The things that made me who I am, is from mostly music because the feelings I can sense from the songs I have listened. My family is what I value the most in my life and wouldn't give them away for anything. I want my friends to remember me as a funny reliable guy that can be trusted. To see someone at the twenty year high school reunion would be everyone, I would like to see everyone there.
