Personal Statement: Long Term Goals

I completed my BS in Human Services in March 2015. Since that time, I have been researching many colleges fluctuating between the MSW, MFT and Mental Health Counseling degrees. I consider my graduate school decision to be a positive life-altering decision requiring much thought, and research. After an extensive amount of research, and phone conversations, I have decided to pursue a Masters in Marriage Family, and Counseling Therapy.

The career I want to have when I get older is going NBA/Athlete. I picked this job because I want to make enough to make sure my family life is care free as possible. Also I want to be able to play the sport I love. What I like most about this job is that I can play the game I love and get paid. Another thing I like about this job is the competition it isn’t nothing like competition. And I want to donate and help countries and be a good sport.

In 10 years I see myself living the luxury lifestyle in Hawaii with a beautiful educated woman with 3 kids and 2 dog. I will be playing professional basketball overseas with the Hawaii Warriors. It's always been my dream to play overseas basketball or play in the NBA, with dedication and hard work I can achieve my goals. Once I make it I want to give back to my family and the community. I understand that my parents work hard for me to get me where I am today, so I want to ensure them that they will never have to work again. Second I'm going to give back to the community, I plan on opening a basketball complex gym for the kids, then I want to open a cheer leading and gymnastics complex for the girls and boys. I will already have my business

In addition, to achieve this goal there are obstacles along the way I must get through first. One being school. To get into a college they won’t just accept you because your good at a sport. No, they look at everything including academics and behavior. Being in high school has truly been an eye opener. It has shown me so far that if

I want to be a basketball coach, I’m good at shooting and I can train kids to run not fast but, fast. I practice basketball everyday it is my life I have been playing scenes I was in the third grade I got to be

Throughout my professional career, I have had the privilege of leading, supervising and managing teams on many occasions. In each case, it was incumbent upon me to inspire and empower a group of individuals to work together, and obtain the cooperation of many contributing offices and subject-matter experts to ensure the success of a given project or service initiative. My experience as a liaison professional, coupled with my personal diplomacy skills, enabled me to communicate clearly and effectively, negotiate differences, and achieve consensus on a regular basis.

I want to improve my current piano playing skills by advancing at least two levels and be confident in playing in front of a large audience.

Participation in this program will support me and my goals to be the first person in my family to receive higher than a bachelor’s degree. I plan to receive my Ph.D. in abnormal child psychology, and I am currently in early education and care at my high school as my career path. I truly believe that I connect on a personal level with children and my interest in mental illnesses and why they occur fits into that career description perfectly. I would like to leave Delaware and experience the world, starting with where I attend college. Louisiana State University, Spellman University, or Texas A&M are my top 3 colleges that I would love to attend and pursue my career goals. I aspire to be very successful in everything that I have planned to do

I'm Angela. Unlike most people with my name I do no shorten it to "Ang" or "Angie"- Although Angie is a fantastic Rolling Stones song. I am a California native, and while I travel a fair bit, I have yet to take roots in another state. However, that may change in the near future as my long term boyfriend of 8 years and I, along with our two doggies, are strongly considering selling our home and becoming fulltime globetrotters.

I enjoyed working together Friday and appreciated the valuable input in developing Goal 1 objectives and strategies; we will meet again April 1, 12:00-3:00, with lunch provided. If needed, complete a Professional Leave Request and secure a substitute; we will finalize Goal 1 objectives and strategies by the end of the meeting.

It is important that I provide background, as it lays the foundation of why my personal goals are what they are, and what I hope to achieve as I work toward them. Having been shaped by both challenges and victories, I believe that I have emerged as a more sensitive, caring, and worldly educator, open to new challenges and change that occur in our ever-changing world.

Generally speaking, I would prefer to work in a productive or protective capacity. Either capacity will consist of an innumerable amount of work that needs to be done. As a result of the workload, my work setting will always be positively occupied, thereby creating more constructive conversations. With that mindset, I am more interested in the legal and educational fragment. Both sides require me to be fully equipped and knowledgeable. It also allows me to interact with life changing, eye opening topics as well as expanding my knowledge to produce information to those I interact with. In that regards, I plan to further my education to acquire the requisite and rightful degrees to pursue a career or careers in such fields.

In life everyone has an aspiration in something in which they wish to accomplish until they are unable to do it anymore. Mine happens to be the amazing sport of basketball. Overall, basketball has been playing a key role in my life throughout my high school years: summer, fall and the intense grind of winter practices. I love it, all the way down to the chilling, dreadful ice baths. Therefore, I play hundreds of basketball games throughout my years for for west high school, for my game it’s to the the absolute best I can for my team. In all the games I played for my many coaches at West I can’t illustrate everything that goes through my mind on the court.

I want to live my life with family a perfect peaceful area that God allowed me to live.

As I stated in my personal goals, I am focusing in developing my interpersonal skills toward my professional and personal environment. Even though this is not my first psychology class, it is always encouraging to re-learn and discover new findings in psychology. During and after the course, I found myself practicing many of the communication skills throughout my daily life such as paraphrasing, avoid stereotyping and especially analyzing my own and other’s emotions. The collaboration of the course and my experiences, in my own opinion, has built a very sharp sense of my emotional intelligence. I always know that I am sensitive when observing a person’s emotions, but the skills that I gained from this class help to direct the message into more rational interpretation. For example, now I am capable to reduce or set aside my personal judgement when someone is telling me his/her story. I learn how to take the time to step back and digest their words without feeling offended. The most current example is the way I communicate with my husband. We are coming from two different cultural background, and communication could be hard sometime. Many times I realized that it was my frustration of not knowing how to explain things to him without getting mad. And off course a part of it is my ethnocentrism and also his. But as the one who have better understanding about human interaction, I have to be able to apply my communication skills in order to reduce or eliminate conflict. I am
