My Long Term Goals
I have been planning goals for myself since I was in the 7th grade. Some of those goals have already been accomplished and what joy has come over for me for making my dream goals reality. These goals change all of the time, from my major, to colleges and even where I want to reside after I graduate college. I have narrowed down my list though to a few more goals. My short term goals are to graduate high school, remain in the top 10% of my class, and make sure my long term goals are going to benefit myself and others. Those 3 have always been on my mind since junior high. They help me know who I want to be in the future and how I plan to get there. Accomplishments are apart of any human beings life. Striving for the best is always the key to my endeavors. I want the best not only for myself but also for my family. This will help me perform well with my long term goals and even event more. With the long term goals I have set in place as of now, they are to graduate college magna or summa cum laude, become an official U.S. Government worker …show more content…
That is me giving myself the ability to change the outlook of things. What do I mean by that? Well, coming from a low income family, not even having the money to attend college but having the mindset of believing I can do whatever I put my mind too shows the courage I have and how I am willing to change things. Coming from where I am from you have goals but sometimes they don't get accomplished and that's okay you continue to dream and fight. Being a strong believer keeps you together and shows others how well-equipped you are. I want to make a difference not only for myself but for others as well. One of my favorite quotes by Pres. Barack Obama is “Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.” And I truly believe I am that

    What are my short-term and long-term goals? As I have grown in age they tend to change and become more developed and mature. A personal long-term goal of mine is to live a healthy life. It sounds simple but can be a little challenging at times. A personal short-term goal for me is to be a little more organized. I think I say short-term because eventually I don’t want it as a goal but part of my routine in life. I also feel like planning is a big one on my long-term goals. A big short-term is being spontaneous not all the time but being ready at times when things are just thrown your way and handle it like it was planned.…

    My short term goals include getting my Capstone Diploma, maintaining good grades in my academics, striving for success, and graduating high school. Striving for success is essential as well as graduating high school, but I feel like they are less daunting than the other two short term goals I have. Getting my Capstone Diploma will be a challenging road. It is not easy to achieve what the College Board requires for in that class, but I know that both the teacher and my determination will guide me through in order to accomplish my goal. And as for maintaining good grades in my academics I will have to turn in everything on time and study the material given in the course in order to grasp my goal. For long term goals I want to become a successful electrical and computer engineer. I know this goal will not be easy, but I feel like I have the determination and confidence that it takes to reach my…

    Smart Goal Reflection

    I have always set my goals in my mind only, focusing on the main goal, never considering smaller goals. Since I have become a student at GCU, this class has taught me a lot about motivation and goal setting, and how these skills work together. I like the smart goal chart, it has shed a lot of light on the task of goal setting. The chart allows me to see all goals in front of me on paper, and with the proper outline it helps me focus on one step at a time in acheiving my goals. I like the idea of setting smaller goals, and then rewarding myself as I accomplish each step on my way to accomplishing the main goal. I have learned when I take on smaller goals, and reward myself along the way, it motivates me to press on toward the main goal. I will…
