Pursuing My Goals

Going to college has been a dream of mine growing up. I am the first ever in my family to go to college but figuring out how to pay for it has been a challenge. I desire to achieve my academic and career goals and this scholarship can help me succeed in my journey.

My academic goal is to graduate Argosy University with a bachelors degree in Forensic Psychology in three years time. Forensic Psychology is the study of the criminal mind, in a nutshell. The main motivation to achieve this goal would be intrinsic. I love asking questions and knowing the answers as to why people do what they do, and in a criminals case, what led them to committing the crime. This goal, however, may have some extrinsic motivation as well. Being knowledgeable about certain behaviors that criminals poses may help solve or even prevent a crime. In addition, having a degree will help open different paths in life, ones that may present me with greater job opportunities. My attitude toward the learning process will help my achievement of each goal because I am eager, determined and motivated. My greatest desire is to succeed in life, and obtaining an education is one thing I know will help me. I perhaps will need to make some adjustments along my journey. I do not know yet if I will find another educational path that intrigues me the most. For now, I do not feel that any adjustments need to be made.

Knowing what I excel at has given me the ambition to rise to the challenge of earning a college degree. I have attempted on line school seven years ago and I had to make the difficult decision to withdraw from school when my family and financial obligations became overwhelming. I look back on that experience and have been able to analyze myself and now know what was lacking in my life at that time. I was not close with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I was attempting to control all the angles of my life alone instead of allowing the Lord to help me. In the midst of my struggle for control I was unsure of my own strengths, passions, and abilities. Since that time I have been working in the human services field as the assistant director of a local adolescent girls group home. Working with at risk

What does St. Pius - St. Matthias Academy offer you that will help you reach your future goals? What are your goals after graduating from PMA?

When the nurses first laid their eyes on me as I was born, I am not sure what potential they saw in me – all two pounds and a couple ounces of me. At four months, my mother and father adopted me, and as I matured, my parents enlightened me with the use of books, films, religion, and art. They were not the richest couple in the world, but still insisted on making up for it with firm, unwavering support. Now that I look at the prospects of my future, I am eager to pronounce my college goals. Any outside aid that could be granted to me would surly allow my academic plans to run far more smoothly.

Scholarships are more than just an amount of money; they are are steps to help reach your goal. If I was awarded this scholarship, it would put me one step close to paying for my college education and my goal to help people. My personal goal for when I get out of college is to work for the agricultural sector of the government and to be involved in politics. I have a dream of one day being in the position where I can develop an organization that would teach inner city families how to produce food on their own. I would teach them the basic concept of urban agriculture, which is growing produce in a heavily populated town or municipality. My goal would be for them to realize that they do not need to rely on government handouts to survive; they

I am enrolled at Wallace Community College Selma, with tasks setb ahead of me and goals set to achieve. Wallace is my foundation to making those goals a reality. My short term goals are for me to get through my freshman year of college, with acceptable grades; also for me to have good grades the second semester. My long term goals are for me to have qualifying grades upon transferring to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa in the field of nursing with the aspirations of getting my BSN in nursing; also to graduate from the prestigious University of Alabama; a may even go as far as pursuing my Master’s.

In the MSM-Finance program, through the core courses ‘Empirical finance’, ‘Derivatives and risk management’, and ‘Investment Management’, I can conceptualize real-world financial problems with a broad range of analytical methods. Besides, the courses of the Financial Big Data Track, such as, ‘Quantitative Risk Modeling’ and ‘Applications in Financial Big Data’ will greatly strengthen my quantitative, evaluative and problem-solving skills. In the future, I am confident of my career success, which will enable me to better contribute as an

Resources and support are available to me and that I will use to help obtain my career goals are professional connections/resources and institutional connections/resources. My professional connections include and atmospheric chemistry professor at Emory University and a mentor who recently left Emory University to go work at the census bureau in Washington D.C. Through the professor at Emory I have access to a lot of the universities resources such as access to scientific journals, I can attend seminars, I can ask for opportunities for research, I can also ask for opportunities for networking through her colleagues, I have a friendly professional who I can ask questions, and I have a professional reference with whom I have done work with. With

It has taken me transferring out of University and suffering from an injury that ended my soccer career for me to finally end up where I need to be. I have always wanted to be in the medical field. As a little girl I was doing it all, from giving my father an IV to packing wounds on our farm animals. I just recently finished CNA I and never have I loved doing something as much as I enjoyed that. I never realized that I was a people person and going through clincals has opened my eyes to that. I can only imagine the impact that CNA II or even completing the ADN program will have on me, especially after the impact CNA I had on me. I am a very hard worker. I am goal oriented and determined to reach my goals. This scholarship would help me worry

Many of my peers view second semester of senior year as a burden that they must endure before they can finally graduate and never step foot in high school again. Although I am eager to graduate and pursue the next chapter of my life as a college student next fall, I hope to take advantage of my final semester of high school. For most of my four years, I have done the requirements for my classes, but not gone beyond them to pursue topics I found interesting or was passionate about. I also have not taken the time to pursue personal goals I have set for myself because I was lacking the motivation to complete them. Through the project I have designed for myself, I hope to pursue the academic passions that I have pushed to the side during high school,

My goal is to continue my education at Liberty University until completing a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Administration. I believe God has called me to care for and assist people. I've been part of the health care services over 20 years and can't imagine entering a new field. I will continue to push myself until I reach my goal. Unfortunately, I don't have good study skills, but enjoyed reading the lecture notes and will practice those skills in the future.

My professional goal is to become a psychiatrist while contributing to brain related research because I believe the brain is one of the most powerful things on earth but our understanding of it is fairly limited. However, in order to reach my professional goals I need to reach my academic goals.

Having goals is a very essential part of life; it gives you reason and determination to make a difference if your life. If you don't have goals then you don't have any plan's for your future and if you have no plans for your future then you really have nothing to look forward to. I for one definitely have a few goals set in mind, do you? One personal goal I do have is to get married by the age of 26-27 at the latest, and in connection with that goal; have at least one child before the age of thirty. The reason I decided this as one of my personal goals is because I think about marriage and kids frequently wether I actually want to think about it or not. I am only twenty years of age, but I have been dating my boyfriend for

What I’ve already done to begin to accomplish my goals is to be part of my Health Science class so I can learn more about healthcare careers and what they’re all about. I’ve also gone to the hospital to shadow nurses so I can observe what being a nurse is like. I’ve also been doing community service because I know that later in the future that will help me to pursue my career. I’ve also researched about different universities and colleges that have health science programs.
