My Goals
Everyone should have goals when they are striving to achieve a specific task. A good example of when goals are important to have is when people attend college. Therefore, I have developed three personal goals that I consider important in achieving during my time here at the University of Phoenix. First is the goal of meeting other people that have the same careers that I do. Secondly, I would like to diversify myself using education, thus making me a better rounded individual. Third, and finally, I would like to receive my Bachelors in Science with a degree in Criminal Justice. With the goals that I have listed, I feel that it will benefit my career and educate me further in the criminal justice field.
Firstly, my goal of meeting other people that have the same career interests as I do or have already been in the police field. In order to achieve this target, I am going to talk to other individuals that have already worked for a police agency. Also, if they are willing to talk to me about past experiences they can give me tips and other information that they have learned and are willing to help other people learn from their mistakes. Furthermore they will be able to give me ideas regarding what it will take for me to get my foot in the door in the Criminal Justice field. I feel that I will not have a problem talking to people that already work in the field because I have learned that people in the police force are friendly and are willing to help others because assisting others is what this career entails. For that reason, meeting others that have the same career ambitions as I do makes this goal an extremely important one.
My second goal of becoming more diverse and more rounded will make me a better person. Education is what runs the world and moves our economy. In today’s society, education is incredibly important and if you are educated, you will be given more respect than those who are less educated. Without it, we would not be able to accomplish the many

    The most important goal for my future is to obtain a satisfying career. Growing up I saw how unhappy my mother was working at a job that she hated just to make enough to provide for our family. I further understood how important a satisfying career was to me when I started working the graveyard shift as a dockworker during community college. I strongly disliked almost everything about the job including the exposure to extreme temperatures, the job’s filthy nature, the long and irregular hours, and most of all because it was unfulfilling. I was miserable with my occupation but I was dependent on it because it was lucrative and provided me with a way to support myself through college. I worked fulltime at this job for two years while also being a fulltime student until I transferred to SIU. The dread that I felt toward my job made me work harder academically because I knew that someday my hard work would amount to a career that I thoroughly…
