Personal Narrative: My Personal Goals In High School

Going through high school the days were all the same, except for game days. There was just something different about the culture of the school. You could almost feel the excitement in the air. Every “Good luck tonight,” that was received made it feel like the whole school was rooting for me. This was my senior year and tonight was an especially big game. The game that night would decide if we made playoffs and if I could step on the court as a Hawk again.

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.

The progression of my education goals are as follows: My short term educational goal is to accepted as a nursing student here at York Technical College. My next goal will be to graduate from the nursing program as a Registered Nurse.

One reason I struggled in high school was because of hanging out with the wrong group of friends. When I was a freshman I had many “friends” (as many do when they first start high school.) By the time I was a senior I had two friends out of the whole group of friends I started with my freshman year. Hanging out with bad influences not only got me into drugs but got me into thinking it was okay to come home 3 nights out of the week at 2 am, when my curfew was at 11 pm. At that point in my life I was dealing with my mother’s sickness alone and feeling like I would never be good enough for anyone. I went to the drugs and told myself that I was “forgetting” everything. Sadly I didn’t figure out how bad I was ruining my high school years until I

My college goals include transferring from Merced College to Stanislaus State University. I began the application process in November. I will complete my requirements here at Merced College this semester for my Associates Degree Transfer. I'm majoring in Psychology and hope to receive my Bachelors in Arts at Stanislaus State. My career goals include attaining an instructional aide position as soon as I receive my AA from Merced College. I haven't had any luck applying for that position however, I'm hopeful my luck will change. I have attended approximately eight to ten instructional aide position interviews and volunteer at a local Elementary School in Chowchilla. I believe the more education I receive, the better a candidate I will become

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

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

High school is a major part of becoming who you want to be for the rest of your life. It's the place where you set and achieve your goals and make decisions. To help my freshman year benefit me the most i'm go to dedicate most of my time to my focus, organization, decisions, and my attitude. These 4 things will help me stay on track and help me achieve my goals.

As I sat down to write this essay, I reflected on all of my achievements during my high school years at Holy Trinity Academy, and what most accurately demonstrates my leadership skills. The most prominent leadership goal that I achieved was through my involvement in Student Council.

Fortunately for me my personal, professional, and education goals is one in the same. My goal is to one day preach and teach the word of God. I must first equip myself with the skills necessary to bring forth God’s word. I understand being able to be an effective communicator and a critical thinker are some skills that I will need in order to be successful in my ministry. Being a responsible leader is very important in today’s society. I want to not only a have church of my own, but go aside the four walls so I can be a global citizen with the gifts God has gave me spreading Christianity through the world.

After each grandchild accomplished the triumph of graduation, my grandmother created handmade knitted blankets in remembrance of the hard work and dedication put into our high school career. After I graduated I was so excited to receive one of her works of art, but unfortunately my grandmother had recently been diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. With this extreme heartache I did not expect her to fashion a blanket for my mile stone; instead we decided to spent our last Thanksgiving with her, watching old movies like “Train, Planes and Automobiles” absorbing her generosity and appreciating while we still had her with us. After my grandmother passed, a few months after, my grandfather brought us out to the house to gather what possessions we

“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

One of my first goals entering high school is getting good grades. To achieve this, I will attempt to ace my tests and homework and by not failing, of course. Before the school year, I decided I would try and go out for extracurricular activities. I would going out for extracurricular activities by meeting new people, people who may recommend me to clubs; then I would go out for the clubs they recommend. Another goal I have is to graduate high school. To achieve this I would firstly make it through high school by not getting beat up and most of all, get credits which would guarantee me graduating. One fear I have is failing classes. I would try and deter me failing classes by getting good grades and focusing in class.

High school is arguably some of your best years in someone’s school career and many start to notice this when they get to College or graduate.However,some students take it for granted and don’t participate in anything or can’t participate because they’re academically ineligible.In my experience I missed out on a number of events that I wished I hadn’t because I didn’t use my time wisely to do school work it’s ashame that I wasn’t able to participate since you get to only experience them once in your life.

The grey fog comes in, there is mist in the air, the cold wind increases my alertness and the uneasiness of everyone causes silence for a brief moment until the high pitched blow of a whistle starts it all. This sounds like a setting for a suspenseful corny movie but, really it’s just a typical game day here at San Francisco State University.
