My goals outside of the classroom are to gain more leadership experience and continue to develop skills that will set me up for future success all while improving my character. By senior year, I plan to be a member of APO, hopefully with a leadership position, a Service Station chair, president of Black Expression, and a Student Assembly officer. My academic goals are to be on the Dean’s List and apply to TWU to pursue graduate studies for occupational therapy. Ultimately, I want to soak up the entire Austin College experience and know that I gave it my all, both in and outside of the…
Part of the activities I enjoy are playing music; which can explain to people to learn more about Christ and how they can help serve others just as Christ would have done to them. Technology and video games have been a tremendous part of my life. My goal in college is to get into computer science and to learn how to design games and produce code. I can utilize the amount of the money that I earn and donate it to special organizations; for example, charity; and I can also donate the money to special places, for instance, churches, and consequently they can build a larger and improved church. For the past 3 years, I have been playing badminton and in just two years of playing badminton, I played so exceptionally well that my badminton coach moved…
High-school is a very important part of students lives. How one does during high-school will greatly affect their future and which college they go to. Getting into college you want can be very hard. I want to attend the University of Southern California (USC), although their undergraduate admissions are very competitive. Approximately 20% of the people who apply get accepted.…
I was always told "don't plan too far ahead, because something will always come in your way," and I never listened. At a young age I began creating scenarios for my future and attending University of Florida has always been a part of my goals. If I were to be granted admission I would make sure I got the full college experience by working hard to be at the top of my class, joining a club that revolves around my hobbies, and of course, making myself proud.…
When Cayli, my daughter, started kindergarten I started talking to her about going to college and how it was the most important thing she could do for herself. In turn she would ask me what kind of degree did I get and I would look at her and tell her that I did not go to college and this is why I wanted her to so she would not have to live paycheck to paycheck like her father and I did. After awhile, I started to feel like a hypocrite every time I would insist she went to college and not going wasn't an option. I knew in that instance that I had to go back and get my own college degree.…
Considering your lifetime goals, discuss how your current and future academic and extra-curricular activities might help you achieve your goals.…
In this class, I hope to achieve a lot of different things. I chose to take this class because it would help allow me to manage my time in a wise manner. I’m a senior in high school, and I’m doing this through the Running Start program. After I’ve graduated, I might take online classes, so I’m hoping that this will give me an idea of what that would be like. I have a lot of activities that I’m involved with, so I hope to learn to manage my time better. Honestly, those are probably the only things that I expect to achieve in this class.…
My educational goal is to attend Western Oregon University and graduate with a bachelors degree in biology. I want to major in biology because my goal is to become a dentist. After graduating from Western Oregon University I will apply to a dental school to earn a dental degree. During my college career I will work hard to maintain a high grade point average just like I have in high school. My goal for high school was to get a 4.0 all through high school so that I could be the valedictorian. I was able to achieve this by doing my homework every night and studying tirelessly. There was times when I thought that I wasn't going to be able to accomplish this. For example, this year I am taking AP physics and I have always struggled with science…
My goal is to be the best teacher any student has had and will have throughout his/her schooling. I want to help every student learn, no matter how long it takes, and even if it means staying after school to help any student who needs help. I hope to do this by being firm in classroom management but by also being understanding of each and every student. I would like to become an exemplary teacher so that I can teach students to be exemplary also. I would like for my…
Teachers have a very important responsibility of shaping the lives of young, impressionable children. With this responsibility comes great pride and joy. Therefore, as a high school teacher I want to strive to be what can be considered as, a "good teacher." A good teacher can be defined as someone who always pushes students to want to do their best while at the same time trying to make learning interesting as well as creative. A positive or negative influence from a teacher early on in life can have a great effect on the life of a child. As part of my goal statement I plan to incorporate all of these qualities to become the teacher that I expect and want to be.…
College is an open door to many opportunities especially for someone like me who comes from a conservative culture in which most believe the working field is not for women. Times have changed and yet an employed woman is looked down upon. Many girls dream about having a bright future only to see it shatter once they become older and their opportunities are seized. I want to be able to beat the odds and go against the old-fashioned beliefs of my culture. To do so I need to achieve a higher education. I am planning on attending a community college to receive my two years of general education and then graduate to a university to major in physical therapy. I have excelled in high school, will continue to do so in college, and be able to graduate from college.…
I am tall compared to average, so people define me by my height. I'm athletic and competitive when it comes to sports. The sports that I'm best at are soccer because I've played it my whole life and basketball because of my height. Optimistic has to be the word that defines me. I'm always positive and confident on what I set my mind to.…
When most people think about college, the thought money is one of the many things that come to mind. Money is one of the biggest deciding factors in whether a person can go to college. Money has always been something my family has worried about. With my family’s financial situation, my “American Dream” of going to college is only an option if I was willing to work for it.…
To be successful in college one needs to have a plan. My plan is to finish high school with an Academic Honors Diploma, go to a fantastic college, graduate with a bachelor’s degree in nursing, and find a job I love. Throughout college I would like to be in different clubs, softball, and possibly in a sorority. During high school I never got the chance to be in any clubs because during the fall and winter I was on the high school bowling team, and the spring I was on the high school softball team. Now that I am not going to be doing bowling for college I will have time to be in some clubs. I have been in softball since I was a little girl, and being able to play in college has always been a dream of mine. I do not know anyone in a sorority,…
I was raised with the beliefs that there is an importance of having security in all aspects of life, whether that is financial, physical, or emotional. These were, and still are, the ultimate objectives I have for myself and every action I take and have taken has been formed around this sentiment. My parents taught me that “dreams are the touchstones of our character” and that it is important to dream big while remaining clear on goals and realistic with decisions. On the path to deciding my future, their advice remains with me and assists in establishing myself in the goals that I have set.…
