What Are My Personal Goals

Whether we like to believe it goals play an important part in our lives. They keep us on track with what we want to accomplish in life. Some of my biggest goals were made as a child and others where just by surprise. However now I have much different goals set for myself. I have three main goals that can be separated into a personal, professional, and academic area. A personal goal is to become a great runner and roll model. A professional goal of mine is to become a nurse to help others in need and finally, my academic goal is to get a 3.5 GPA and graduate college. All these goals can be accomplished with hard work and dedication just like any other goal in life. We all want to strive for the best and sometimes we need smaller goals to help

To have a goal enables a person to do his/her best in whatever they set out to accomplish. Achieving academic excellence in high school has given me a love of learning. This desire for more knowledge propels me towards a college education that will prepare me to do my best in my future. Having the perseverance to become healthier has inspired me to work toward being a dietician. I have chosen this career goal because an increasing number of people in our country are struggling with obesity. In addition to these goals of a higher education and a career path, I would like to be a mother and raise my own family. Family is very important to me because I believe that family has a major influence on one’s personality. Without the influence of my family, I would not be who I am today.

What is the importance of goals? Do goals help you plan out your future? Or possibly give you something to work for? To me goals provide a map of what I want to do, how I’m going to do it, and why I want to do it. Goals also provide a sense of accomplishment when you finally get to finish whatever you’ve been working towards. The need for goals in life is clear, because without goals, we wouldn’t get much done. Simply because of the fact that there wouldn’t be anything to work towards, and no structure to our future. One of my most important goals is to graduate college, to get a career in psychology. This goal is extremely important to me because of the fact that not many people in my family have even finished high school.

I picked Occupational Therapy as a career because I find it pleasing to help other people and it’s a great way to interact with patients. This career requires quite the creativity which I find it worthy since I believe I have plenty of it. I have experience with physical exercises and I would like to teach patients with disabilities or illnesses that through simple exercises I could help them recover their abilities once again and reintegrate them with social activities. I personally prefer geriatric. Working with the elderly would be an amazing experience because I would love to interact with them and as I do what I mostly like I can listen and learn from their stories. One special reason as to why I would like to work with the elderly is because I feel that I could be that person that regains back someone’s confidence and to see them being able to do their everyday routine due to ageing.

Growing up I always knew I wanted something more than just a “job”. I wanted a career that would be rewarding and encompass a combination of my talents and interests. As a child, I dreamed of being a doctor, mechanical engineer, nurse, dental hygienist, and teacher. It was not until my freshman year of college that I took a good look at career choices. After hearing about occupational therapy, I did a great deal of research to find out what it was, what the therapists did, who they worked with, and the influence they had on the lives of others. As I continued through my college experience, occupational therapy always remained at the top of my list of possible careers. I began to see that it was a perfect combination of all the things I wanted to be when I grew up. I could work as a healthcare professional, help people in need, problem solve, and bring light and hope into people’s lives. Observing several different occupational therapists has confirmed that this is the career for me.

My long term goal is to become a profiler in the BAU. In ten years, I can see myself still in college, working to get a bachelors degree in either psychology or criminal justice, and maybe even in sociology and forensic science. While also gaining at least three years of experience as an agent before applying as a Special Agent and qualifying for at least one of the FBI Special Agent Programs in either law, language, accounting, computer science/information technology, or diversified. I would also have to be older than 23, but younger than 37. I would analyze criminal cases for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to get a psychological, behavioral and legal profile of the unsub (Unknown Subject).

Goals are an important thing to have in your life. They help you so that you can work toward something instead of not knowing what to do. I have goals that have to do with school and goals for my future career. My goals for high school and college would be to get good grades, pass every class, and take AP classes. I also have career goals that I want to achieve in the future so I can have a job that makes me happy.

People always say, New year, New me, but they never have actual goals that they achieve. I want to achieve three things this year, not changing me but changing what I do. I want to become a top pitcher in my 14u comp. league. I want to be able to bench at least 120+, by the very end of the year. I also want to achieve a higher GPA from the next few quarters throughout the year. I want a 4.0. I feel like these are very achievable goals and I am ready to go through 2017 with an open mind on achieving them.

Tony Robbins once said “goals are like magnets, they’ll attract the thing that makes them true”. Goals are always needed, they help one grow in life. Having goals gives more encouragement to someone so they can complete it. Goals can always help someone out in different types of ways, it can be personal, academic, performance. As long as you make it a goal, it’s most likely to happen. Here are some of my own goals.

Many people exercise, climb mountains, compete in extreme sports, and the list could go on all to better one’s self. While one may compete against others, the main goal is best personal goals. To me, that is what going to college and gaining a higher education is about. I do not have a family that has forced me to go, or who even will known when I have accomplished my goals. What I have is the experience of exercising my brain, overcoming financial mountains, and pushing myself to what many times feels like extreme limits. A higher education not only allows one to push beyond what one believes they can do, it allows one to be an example of what the next student can accomplish. College and higher education is about the paving of paths

Setting goals is the most important thing you can do in your life. Without goal's you are going to have no direction, no ambition to be successful, no drive to stay in school, and trouble finding a career that will provide for you. Without these three things, achieving your goals is going to be one of the toughest tasks in the years to come.

While the customary “ACL Tear” story is about recuperating with setbacks and successes arisen from their injury, mine is slightly different. Whereas I did come back to compete on the soccer field and dance in competitions, I also have an additional goal to accomplish coming up

Persistence is the cornerstone to my character and it fuels my passion towards reaching my goals. Each time I am presented with a new challenge in life it is my persistence that assures my success. Everything I have achieved is due to my willingness to press forward. I have always set ambitious goals for myself because I enjoy the process required to attain them. I have found that hidden in the arduous process of attaining challenging goals is the key to developing self-discipline. I am convinced that I would not have achieved everything I have now without cultivating my will-power. Currently, one of my short-term goals include earing exceptional grades for the Fall 2017 semester. I am one semester away from beginning my upper division

My involvements in different activities throughout my high school years have lead me to visualize my future goals and make my path towards them. Getting involved has leaded me to my dreams in terms of a healthier and brighter future for me and children around the globe, becoming a chief executive officer of a company related to the fashion industry and accomplish my goals as an athlete. I have been led to this path with the help of my involvement in the food drives, Link crew leaders and terry fox run. Joining such clubs along with some other made the person who I am today and helped me grow as a woman. My enthusiasm for joining clubs has lead to my aspirations of accomplishing such goals in life.

Stepping across the stage for my high school graduation in 1996 I thought I knew it all. Everything would come to me served on a platter, twenty-one years later; I am still looking for that platter. My expectations that day were high, my dreams were higher, the only challenge I faced was how I going to get there, honestly, I didn’t know. If my reality was lined up to my expectations and dreams you wouldn’t be reading this.
