Short And Long Term Goals

My long-term goal with my college education is to complete my Bachelor's degree and eventually continue on to receive my Master’s degree in criminal justice. The first step to complete my long-term goal is receiving my Associate’s degree in criminal justice by May 2017. This goal is specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.

One of the proudest moments of my life is graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in social work. I’m the first in my family to do so, and I am going to go further in my education by pursuing a Master’s degree in social work. The main reason why I am pursuing a Master’s degree is because it will give me more options than a Bachelor’s degree would ever give me. Additionally, it will give me the opportunity for job stability since most employment prospects is requiring a Master’s degree to get hired. My long term goal is to work in the VA hospital. Working at the VA hospital has many benefits and job stability. Getting employed at the VA hospital has been a goal of mine since I first started my social work courses. And a Master’s degree is the

Organizations, groups, churches, etc. all have a vision and mission. As a graduate student, I have come up with a vision and mission statement that are motivational in my success. My vision as a MHA student in graduate education at Belhaven University is to remain curious, creative and a thinker who will remain courageous as I develop the servant leadership knowledge offered, that will allow me the opportunity to be a valuable Healthcare leader who can work both independently and collaboratively. I will face many challenges with an open mind and seek answers and ways to improve the changing arena of Health Care. As a graduate student I would like to expand my knowledge and my discovery of the health

In one of the stories called Making Kids Work on Goals, Sue Shellenbarger has evidence of students wanting to achieve their goals at younger ages. “42% of students ages 10 to 18 say they are energetically pursing their goals 35% Strongly believe they can find ways around problems that may arise and 53% say they are hopeful for their future”. In another story called Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams, Randy Pausch talks about how childhood dreams can come true and that it feels even better to help people accomplish their childhood dreams. “And as you get older, you may find that ‘enabling the dreams of others’ is even more fun” Now is it better to have short term or long term goals for a dream job, short term works better because of how long term goals seem to affect people.

I know that the sky is the limit when it comes to nursing fields but I have a sincere interest in mental health. I thoroughly enjoyed my clinical day at the Pavilion although I did recognize that the Nurses spend a lot of time charting which depleted my interest a bit. However, I do know that you can work in other settings I can work in especially if I continue my education to a master’s or doctoral level. Becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (PMH-APRN) would allow me to prescribe certain medications (depending on the state’s law I live in) and administering psychotherapy. (American Psychiatric Nurses Association, 2015) However, these are potential long-term goals! Let’s talk about short-term.

By the end of my senior year, my main priority, like any other senior, is to wear my cap and gown, walk across the stage, and receive my high school diploma. To accomplish this goal, I must continue excelling in school with all A’s and maintaining my diligent study skills. I also need to take as many dual enrollment courses at Clayton State University as possible in order to shorten my time in college. After graduating, the next leading goal is to get accepted into either Emory University or University of Georgia, but preferably Emory. Should Emory accept me, then I definitely need to apply to and receive scholarships like Gates Millennium and Zell Miller, for example. In addition, I desire to preserve my current rank as the salutatorian. Perhaps if I persevere more, then I could possibly graduate as the valedictorian. To do this, I can always study harder and receive tutoring about topics I do not completely comprehend. Also, somewhere along the lines, I hope that can obtain a job as a

A long term goal is a goal that you wish to accomplish in the future. Long term goals require time, planning, dedication, and rescilience. Having a long term goal is important for a successful career in the future. One of my long term goals is to become a prosperous private practice lawyer. This is important to me because it will show my siblings and other minority children that no matter the circumstance or pressure put on them by society anything is possible. They can be successful.

First, I will make the most of my education, so that I can be better equipped to help others in the future. I would like to go through medical school and continue my educational path into research. There have been major advancements in gene-editing technologies such as the CRISPR Cas9 system, which, once improved, could revolutionize the science of medicine. This system was developed from the immune systems of bacteria, and works by using homology-directed repair or/in addition to non-homologous end joining to delete portions of DNA. Cas9 is a protein that couples with an RNA sequence to form a complex, which searches through DNA and looks for a DNA sequence to match the RNA one. Once it finds it, Cas9 cuts

In the past, I have volunteered with a variety of organizations such as Rebuild Joplin Head Start, as well as local nursing homes. Volunteering locally has allowed me to see and understand the prevalence of large-scale problems existing within my own community and has encouraged me to want to solve local issues as a route towards my career in nonprofit work. For instance, with the Cross-Generational Sharing program I worked to develop, the Nursing Home Law Center came out with a statistic stating that over 50% of senior nursing home residents do not have family support and may never have someone visit them. As a result, I wanted to provide the residents with a communication outlet they might enjoy, as well as encourage activities where students could build relationships with the residents. Seeing the smiles the smiles volunteers could bring to their lives showed me the difference one can make when bringing volunteers together and working towards a common goal.

In my near future, I am leaning towards attending the University of Indianapolis mainly because of the strong DPT program they offer to their students. I have been accepted and have had the honor of being a direct admission into the DPT program offered at the University of Indianapolis. I found my career choice with my mixture of strong academic and athletic performances. I have plenty of first person accounts of rehabilitation to muscles and bones from sports injuries, and I have become curious about other types of injuries that a physical therapist would encounter outside of sports injuries. At the University of Indianapolis, I plan on majoring in Biology and excelling in all my courses, especially my prerequisites.

I am 54 years old, living the single life. I live in a household with one other adult, and I am a full-time student and currently a part-time employee. Based on my current situation (Older, Single, No Dependent Children), therefore, my financial activities should include making arrangement for long-term health care coverage, develop an estate plan, purchase an appropriate insurance plan, and develop an investment program for retirement. My financial plan goals are Short-term goals,

My short-term goal is to use the knowledge and experiences I have acquired as an undergraduate, coupled with the competitive coursework of the biology department as a catalyst for positive change. My long-term goal is to direct a multicultural health program that assists low-income communities in becoming more knowledgeable of their healthcare options. I think that as an aspiring physician practicing osteopathic medicine, I would be in the position to positively impact socioeconomically disadvantaged communities.

My first top short term goal is to survive basic training and be the top of my class. I plan on reaching this goal by being mentally and physically prepared in what I may encounter and this also includes following orders from a drill sergeant or any sergeant in general some roadblocks I may encounter is my mind set or people around telling me to give up and just quit when situations get stressful in basic training. My second short term goal is to transform my body to look and feel better of myself, I plan on reaching this goal by working out every day, eating healthy and not give up. Some road blocks I might encounter is again people doubting me telling me I can’t do it and temptations of eating junk food around me. My last short term goal
