Personal Statement : My Personal Goals

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.

My third long term SMART goal is a combination of achieving this Masters of Science degree from Western Governors University before Spring 2017 and using what I have learned in my job, specifically in my new territory.

A long term educational goal for me was going back to school after 4 years and a second child. I kept putting it off for months and months .I was extremely intimidated due to the fact that I had two kids to support and; I would only be able to work part time. Finally I had to drive to greenwood to see the dermatologist and I said that would be the day I go to Kaplan. To make sure I reached my goal I started by cutting down my work hours and keeping in touch with my advisor. My goals were achieved after a month and I was proud it made me feel like I could achieve anything as long as I put my mind to it.

Hello, I am Kelly Conley and I have recently enrolled at Boise State University (BSU) as a sophomore. My goal at BSU is to earn a Bachelors degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis on history and graduate by 2018. I have recently retired from the United States Air Force (USAF) after 24 years of service. My hobbies include white water rafting, gardening, and spending time with my wife of 16 years, Heather.

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.

For the first year I would need $5,745 for tuition, $10,196 for room, and $1,300 for books $865 for fees. I should be considered for this scholarship because I want to be successful in college; I don’t want to be stressed for lack of money. I know I haven’t been the best student but I guarantee that I will be in college. I guarantee that because I will study so hard and keep my grades up so I can be successful.

I have chosen to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Management from Franklin University. I decided on this degree as I have spent the past seventeen years creating a career in the I.T industry, for one of the largest financial institutions in the world, and feel that this would present me with more opportunities for growth. I believe I have the technology knowledge and experience now, and I want to show that I have the leadership and management skills that will take me to the next level. This will also,hopefully, lead to promotions and more influence within my department, as well as the financial benefits that accompany them. My wife returned to school as an adult learner when she was 26 and obtained her

Two of my most dominant talents are restorative and achiever. As an individual that is invigorated by the challenge of a sticky situation, I often seek challenges and gain satisfaction from restoring whatever was corrected to functionality (Gallup, 2017). As an achiever, the worth of everyday is measured by the amount of tangible achievement accomplished (Gallup, 2017). The fault in the never-ending drive to accomplish is a constant discontentment (Gallup, 2017).

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

My biggest motivation to become a Columbia Souther University student was the birth of my child. I want best for her, like every good parent. After some researching in the internet, I found out that Human Resources Manager is highly paid profession and because I already had a degree in this specialization, the CSU transfer half of my credits. That made me happy because now I can take only one class at a time and I will finish my degree in 5 years. It will be about time for my daughter to go kinder garden. I am not rushing myself because I want to spend more time to teach my daughter everything before she will go to school and have more daughter-mother time. If in the future I will try to take two classes after

My long-term professional goal is to become a graduate/ medical school instructor. I cannot think of another profession that would be as rewarding as helping students receive a higher education. Anatomy has always been an interest of mine. I fell in love with anatomy my sophomore year of high school. Every year Mrs. Kamm took three sophomores into her Anatomy class that was only supposed to be open to juniors. She told us that usually out of the three sophomores one receives an A, a B, and a C. I knew I did not want to be the C student. I worked persistently throughout her class and ended up being the A student. That was the first time I felt my hard work pay off. I knew I deserved that grade because I put so much time and work into the class.

Selecting me as a candidate for SPREP, will not only benefit me, but benefit the others around me, even the teachers. The qualifications for this program include a student with a strong interest in medicine, a mature personality, a maintenance of an 80% average, and an ethnic background. Luckily, by choosing me as a candidate, I have all of these attributes and many more which will prove my candidacy an excellent decision.

A personal mission statement is a philosophy or creed that one plans to follow in daily life. It is usually designed with positivity, purpose, and with personal goals for every aspect of life such as career, finances, etc. It also focuses on personality traits that one would like to possess and the accomplishments that one wants to achieve, both short-term and long term. It also houses the individuality of the person writing it. Every person writing a personal mission statement is will produce a different statement. This is primarily because people value different things, characteristics and have different goals. The purpose of this paper is to explore my mission statement (Covey, 2013, pp.113).

Public policy and government affects the entire environment in which society operates in. Policy shapes the circumstances by which civilization can either flourish or diminish the quality of life for others. It is through this ability that I want to pursue my graduate degree in government and public policy. I believe I have both the ability and prudent skill set to help further the ideals of society in a thoughtful manner. These ideals, ultimately will further the quality of life for society in a manner that is mutually beneficial for all parties involved. It is in this pursuit that my graduate studies in government and public policy will be of immense benefit.
