My Goals
April 11, 2013
500 Word Essay
We created three goals before returning for our final semester. My three goals were to first finish the year with an A in all my classes, second to graduate Plainfield East High School with a GPA close to 5.0, and finally make it to where I want to be in life, to make my dreams a reality. All three goals are very important to me and each of them in my mind need to be accomplished. There is a certain amount of work and effort that needs to be put into accomplishing these goals. If all three goals are in fact accomplished, I will then be able to live the life I want to and be successful.
My first goal that I wanted to achieve was to end the year with an A in all my classes. I wanted to go into the final with an A, and then come out with an A because of how well I did on my final exam at the end of the semester. A way that I am working to accomplish this goal is by turning in my work on time. This has always been a problem for me. I have no idea why it is, but I know that this needs to change and if it doesn’t it will hold me back from getting the grade I want. Another way I am working on getting to my goal is by putting in full effort. This is the one thing I am doing right. I am trying my hardest to get my grades up because I know that I am not the best test taker. I need to get it up before finals come. The last thing I need to do is do well on all my test and quizzes. I am doing really well on all quizzes, now I just need to work on doing well on my test. I can do this by studying harder and taken more time out for studying.
My second goal was to graduate high school with a GPA close to 5.0. I need to just overall finish off my senior year great. I still have time to achieve this, but it is coming up fast. One way I am working on getting to this goal is by not being lazy. I still have a problem with this, and this is something that really needs to end. Not being lazy would help me with getting work in on time. Another way I am

    Everyone remembers being a sixth grader with those lockers that wouldn’t open and the school that was like a maze. Now this is our school and we are the big dogs. That is what growth is. I set goals is sixth grade and I succeeded and I did the same thing in seventh, now I am still setting goals because without goals you will stray of course. The goals I set for myself involve making the honor role getting into the Medical Science program at the Freehold Boro High School. This will be tough because many other people will be going for this program not only in this school so I will have to work very hard to reach my goal. I will achieve this goal by working hard getting good grades and doing the best I can on those tests. I will work hard in all my classes to get great recommendations and that will definitely help me succeed. Outside of school I play football, basketball, and lacrosse.I set high goals in each of these sports. In football only the top 3 teams in each division get into the playoffs, I want the team I play for to make it into the playoffs. In lacrosse I play defence so my goal for most games is to not let my man get by me and score goal. I am not very good at basketball but that doesn't make my goals easier to schive, I like to get at least 6 points a game. These are some hard goals to achieve but I believe that with the work I put in I can achieve these…

    My academic goal management plan that I set for my English 111 class has been a benefit for my grade and myself. Before I set the goal of pushing out an A for English 111, I had a C in the class. I still do not have an A yet I have a B, but it is progress. I also set a goal that requires me to accomplish a 4.00 “GPA” by the end of the semester. I am not there yet, but I am getting close as I approach the end of the semester. Goal setting has impacted my English grade, because it gave me a sense of urgency. Goal setting kept me focus on the big picture, which was to complete this semester, ending with all A’s. Goal setting also steered me down the rights paths; like a “GPS” system, it made sure that I did not…

I started off in the nursing field as a nursing assistant and patient care tech at 19 working my way through school both full-time and part-time until I finally graduated from Virginia State University with my Associate’s of Science Degree in Nursing. After accomplishing that goal I have reached somewhat of a plateau in my life I have so many short and long-term goals I want to accomplish both professionally and personally.
