What Are Your Educational Goals

Ever since I was young, I was exposed to a Historically Black College or University, Jackson State University. I had always went to activities and functions such as football games, summer programs, and other special events. I did not know whether I would attend a historically Black College or University (HBCU) or not at the time. I had finally decided to go to a HBCU, and I would attend Tougaloo College in the fall to further my education. I have many goals and objectives for pursing my educational experience at a historically Black College, and I plan to achieve them.

My educational and career goals are to major in either psychology or sociology. My plan is to get my master’s degree and begin working as a high school counselor where I will be able to help teenagers who are struggling and help them make the best decisions. I have decided to take this path because there are many students who aren’t aware of the opportunities that they have. Besides checking to see if students are on track for graduation, counselors should let students know about opportunities that will help students in their future like financial aid, exploring college majors, or other helpful resources. Counselors are often only thinking about graduation, but they should motivate those students to think about higher education. In my opinion,

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.

My current education goals are to graduate with nothing less than a 3.6, commission into the United States Air Force from Detachment 290 at the University of Kentucky, obtain a Ph.D in Political Leadership, and in Theology before I am 35 years old. My career goals are to become an intelligence officer in the Air Force and become a general, create a mentorship program, work in ministry, create scholarship programs, become a lobbyist, own a restaurant and a hotel, as well as becoming a part-time high school basketball coach. Everything I want to do in my life is not only to help families with low- income, but to also help kids that was raised in single parent homes or didn’t have someone to look up to growing up. I my life I was pretty much alone,

Being able to achieve a goal is an amazing feeling. Achieving a goal feels like you are on top of the world, like nothing can touch you. However, with most goals there is a challenging road ahead to reaching the goal. For example, education goals are very important, these types of goals can keep a person on track. I like to set a academic goal every year, for instance, maintaining a certain GPA through the entire year. For others it maybe turning in all assignments, or being on time to every class. These are examples of small education goals. My big education goal is to go to college, because I know by going to college I can have a better opportunity for a great future. Getting the best possible knowledge of the world is very important to me.

Education has become an important factor in the ever-volatile world, from elementary school to junior high-to-high school. Individuals who are fortunate to obtain an education do so, but they never think much of it until the concluding days of their high school years come. Concerns about life beyond high school strikes many profoundly, while others possess a clear vision of their desired future, which may include college. Personal growth and success derives from the experiences.

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.

My mom is one of the motivations for me to continue and finish my education. Despite everything my mom sacrificed for me I was stubborn and lazy and barely attempted to pass my classes which in the end added more stress to my mom’s list. I’ve always disappointed her so I feel in order start to pay her back for everything she’s done I need to finish school by graduating high school and college then helping her out with money. She’s always motivated me to do better to show other people who looked down on me that I can do better. Many other things motivate me like the need to succeed because of the people who didn’t believe I could do anything because I slacked off when I was younger. People would always say that my mom raised us wrong and after we stopped going to private school and began going to public school. They looked down on my mom and my sisters as well as me. They would always talk bad about us behind our backs despite being related to us. Fake smiles when we were around from when I was young despite never doing anything bad to them. They’ve helped me want to show them that I will do better than them to show them how their doubt has pushed me. These things and people are very important in my life because they give me the will to continue and be better than I am now and be better in the future too.

From the time I was able to realize what college was, all my mother and father talked about was scholarships and how much they would benefit me. My mother would often sign me up for SAT and ACT prep classes, but I never truly took full advantage of it. As I grew older the word “Scholarship” had a greater meaning. A scholarship would mean me getting to go to the college of my dreams, being surrounded by people with the same goals as me, it also means being able to lift a burden off my parent’s shoulders.

This semester I want to take a different approach in all of my classes, but especially for this political science class. Even though I have always been a meticulous student, college is slightly more perplexing and I want to ensure I am fully equipped for the corporate America. A few of my goals consist of making A’s and B’s in the course, forming a useful study group with my colleagues, and retaining the information taught in class while using it as cross-curriculum for relative classes (i.e. Composition I). It is imperative that I not only do well, but am able to comprehend the material in a way that suits my educational career in a variety of aspects. Although high school and college are differing institutions, my goal is to do exceptionally

For my overall academic goal I would love to get a 4.0 G.P.A but I would at least like to get a 3.5 G.P.A in all of my general and my college major classes for each semester I take at Florissant Valley and also when I attend Forest Park. My strengths to achieve my goal is to stay in my books and study hard to make sure I dont get distracted so I can achieve my goal every semester. Even though I do well in school I need to work on a couple things, one thing I need to work on is my health and wellness, because to achieve my goal I need to have strength and energy and sense my health is poor I get really tired all the time, also something else I need to work on is time management, I need to stop procrastinating and do things right when I get them

I am a single mother which makes me the sole bread winner, provider for my children and I. My three educational goals while attending Colorado Christian University will be to effectively finish my degree in a timely manner with high GPA and receive my associates in nursing.

Coming to the U.S, I had the opportunity that my parents and most people could only dream of. I had the opportunity to pursue and further my education in one of the greatest countries in the world. The U.S. Henceforth, coming at the age of nine, I had planned and knew what I wanted to do as soon as I arrived. I wanted to become a lawyer, a Law Enforcement Officer with the FBI, and join the U.S. Marines. But most importantly, I want to open my own Non- Profit Organization whose aim would be to help individuals who are homeless, living in third- world countries, and to provide those individuals with educational opportunities to help them advance their future.
