Personal Statement : My Goals

During my years at Marywood, I know that I will have many different goals, some which are short-term and others that are long-term. One long-term goal that I set for myself is to graduate from the speech pathology program in five years with my master’s degree. In order to accomplish this goal, I must establish other short-term goals along the way. This year my goal is to pass my first year of college with at least a 3.25 GPA at the end of the fall and spring semesters, which I must maintain for my major. I would also like to do this while being involved in other activities such as soccer and the Speech and Hearing Club. I will do this by putting time and effort into my studies as well as other activities between August 2015 and May 2016.

When I think of my career goals, I ask myself what I want to accomplish in life. I know that I love helping patients and families, and I want to continue to do that. I always am changing my mind on what I want to do after my BSN. I don’t know when or if I will get my masters or continue to work at the bedside for a while. I love what I do and what I do for other people and families. Working in the critical care unit feels like home. I get to do what I love.

As personal and life experiences with managing or budgeting money, I’ve purchased a house at low price and sold at a higher price. Also, I bought a brand-new luxury car and paid off in less than 5-year term. Balancing and budgeting the income was the key to my success of saving and building wealth.

With my salary I won’t be challenge with money as others will be in there situations. With being a single man and occasionally going out with women I don’t have to worry about paying for a kids need right now. But in the future I might to change that because my expense will mostly go to them. For right now I won’t make any adjustment to my budget unless I take a pay cut or I don’t have this job

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.

My S.M.A.R.T goal for the next few months is to be distinguished. I plan to take notes for every class lesson and review for study purposes. I will study for every test coming up, no matter how big or small. I will pay attention and focus on the task or tasks in front of me and not drift off. I will ask questions on anything I need help with or don't understand. I will make time and review my old work and notes a week before the milestones. Using my knowledge, I will try to score a four on the

For me, family is going to be in my future and when I do have money and a job, most of my wage will be going into that direction. As of right now, I don’t have a job or a bank account so I am not doing anything with dealing or managing money.

My lists are relatively short. As I am a bargain shopper, name brand items are not my splurge of choice. I am willing to live without name brand items, fast food, unnecessary goods or snacks, and most luxury items. Save, of course, my phone and appliances. Similarly my list of wants is relatively short. As I am a college student, one who is fortunate enough to have a car, a house is certainly not on my list. Instead, I would like to be able to live comfortably, and have enough to travel home to see my family. My list of ways my money is slipping away would be mostly snacks. I love eating.

There is some changes that i would like to make to my reality rocks budget that would help. First off, i would not buy a big toy like an ipod every month. That purchase cost me 150 dollars and I felt was unnecessary. Also I would get rid of that cat so i didn 't have to pay for it. Also i would spend less on clothes, when i buy clothes i get cheap shirts and shorts about every couple months so the prediction of 30 dollars was unrealistic. One thing that i would do lessen my financial burden is I would get a roommate to help pay the rent. Also i would have bought a car with better gas mileage so that i can save money on gas. All of these things could help my financial situation.

You don’t have a budget written down. A budget is imperative to your financial health. Think of a budget as your financial

We spend A total of $1328.52 on Miscellaneous the majority of that money is going to dental/medical. Also a lot of the money is going to clothes. Even though we eat ramen noodles, we have nice cars and a nice house. In total not to bad.

In ten years I see myself playing football or basketball because I love to play sports. I know I will never give up on sports because i would love a job that is one of my most favorite things ever. You know everyone in the world wants to have fun and get paid for it. But if i had to choose between one or the other I would pick basketball because I love to run and I feel like i’m really good when I score. And I love playing with other people.

Not counting savings, I was able to come in under budget by $11.03. It was really difficult to create a budget on such a low monthly income. The first thing I did was to locate an apartment. The upper range I had in mind for my apartment was $400, and the cheapest one I could find was $399 per month. It was also very difficult trying to determine whether I wanted to drive a car. Since the expenses for car insurance and gas would be really high, I decided to not use a car. Fortunately, I got a job as a cashier at a nearby Walmart. Thus, I could just walk to work. In addition, I found it difficult to find a relatively inexpensive after school activity for the kids until I got off work. The budget for groceries was also a tough amount to determine. Even if I use coupons, it would be difficult for my family to stay within the budget every month for groceries. Overall, I budgeted the bare minimum to my wants so that I could set aside money to my family’s needs. In order to meet all the expenses and live comfortably this family would need to be in the middle class.

My goals that I set for myself was to develop all the skills that I may need to be part in the education and life of children and be able to support them with high quality, knowledge and responsibility to assist them in learning and their development Domains.

Start with a little homework — jot down all your monthly income. Track how much goes to bill-paying and how much to necessary expenses such as groceries and gas. Next, track how you spend the rest of that monthly income — on clothes, restaurants, movie tickets and so on.
