I firmly believe that if one plans on being a successful person in society, setting goals is a very important step. Having goals not only gives you a clear focus on things, it also helps you to organize your plans by allowing you to give yourself time limits and boundaries. Athletics are very fun, and may help count towards a goal in life. Sports may be fun, but you need hard work to become good at it. There is a chance that one day I may be able to get a scholarship for college. Sports take up time, and at some points are hard and may be a burden, but it is all worth it in the end. Becoming a better athlete is a goal of mine, but there are goals more important and the next one is. In only having sports and not education it would be like owning a car, but with out an engine inside. I want that engine; therefore I must get my education and maintain a high GPA. I could accomplish this by doing all my work. Also not only doing my work, but on time and as neat as I can get it. One goal that I work hard at daily is to try to do well in high school. I try to involve myself in any activity that I can, both academically and socially, so that I can graduate with honors. The reason why I do this is because I plan on going to college, and I would like to be able to get accepted into any school that I apply to. Immediately after I graduate, I want to start my career as an architect. In order to achieve my goal I will have to paying attention in class, and try to do more listening and less talking. All of this makes a great recipe for at least a 3.0 GPA. Right now, I am trying to maintain the best GPA because my parents always want the best from me. Lately it has started getting harder and harder to do because some of the teachers I have are very stubborn and they are making my life very difficult. For example, the teachers would give me a low grade for a project, and when I revised it, they would only add two points to my grade. That really annoys me…
