schedule. I work a job that requires me to be away from home for days to weeks at a time. I needed a school that was flexible and accessible even when I was away. I looked into several colleges but only one appealed to me, and it was the University of Phoenix. This goal was not difficult because I knew what I wanted in a college and it aligned with my values. Some short term goals that helped me achieve this goal was first to narrow down my choices to 5 online colleges. I went online and just searched online colleges that had degrees in the field that I was looking to work. Another short term goal was to see which college was accessible away from home via phone or Ipad because I traveled a lot and the use of internet to my laptop would be little to none. I accomplished this task on June 10th when I choose to attend the University of Phoenix. One step closer to obtain my ultimate career goal.
Achieve a High Grade Point Average
The specific of my second goal is to achieve a high grade point average. This is a requirement because of the high number of college graduates within my career field. I have spoken with multiple hiring managers in my career field that said when it comes to narrowing down a candidate for a position it can come down to the grade point average. This tells the hiring manager that this person took school serious and worked hard to maintain the grade that they received. This goal can be difficult because I have not been in school in over 12 years and have never taken an online class before. I have one short term goals that I will need to achieve to reach this goal and it will be to give myself enough time to study and complete my course work. By not rushing and really learning the material I will be have the knowledge to maintain that higher grade point average and be that much closer to obtaining my ultimate career goal This goal needs to be achieve by the completion of my degree in 2017..
Complete my Bachelor Degree

This goal is major to me because it has a concentration in the career field that I am currently working. I have the experience in my career field but cannot advance until I achieve my degree. This goal will be difficult as well because it will take dedication from me to stay focused during this time of enrollment. One of the short term goals have already been accomplished for this goal. And that was to figure out what to major in. I had to decide what was going to benefit my career the most. I did not want to waste time in completing a degree that I could not utilize. A second short term goal to help me achieve this goal will be to obtain my Associate of Arts degree. A third short term goal will be to ensure that I study and make good grades. This task will be completed with me setting and planning my schedule out. I will need to give myself time to study and complete my course work and assignments.
