Personal Narrative: My Goals For College
I had a vision when planning for college. I envisioned myself succeeding. Planning for success is scheduling ahead should your plan waver or flourish you must have a plan. I worked on a vision for myself and planned ahead for this journey through college. My vision involves prayer, preparation, time management and people involvement. I thought about the provision and the necessary goals needed to succeed in college. Prayer is one of the most powerful honors given to men. Prayer empowers me, prayer equips me, and prayer gives me strength when I am weak. I feel revived when I go to the father in prayer. Praying gives me a sense of direction and fulfillment. I love the scripture that says, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13 NewKingJamesVersion). I pray for God to give me direction on this journey. I pray that his will be done in my life and that I live a life that is pleasing to him. I pray that through this journey I impact the lives of those, whom he predestined for me to witness to. I pray that my time is used effectively and my words bring glory to his name. I have met some incredible people at Belhaven, some of whom has left a lasting impression on my life and I in them. This preparation includes preparing my weekly involvements whether it is …show more content…
I discovered I need to use my time more effectively. Working five days a week from 5am-5pm can wear on a person’s body as well as their mind. I manage my time by doing things in thirty minute increments by doing this I have concluded that I process more. I take frequent breaks and I reward myself to a cup of coffee daily. I have my plans already scheduled for Monday-Friday which includes mean preparation, chores and spending time studying. I also involve my family and friends, whether it is to hold me accountable or to pray for

    In high school, I always considered myself a good student. I payed attention in class, took notes, and genuinely took interest in my education. As a college student, I have tried to do the same thing. Of course, college is not quite the same as high school, and I have not always gotten the near-perfect results I used to expect. While I am working on my perfectionism as a separate issue, I am glad to take this opportunity to learn more about how to succeed in college. Three strategies I learned in this chapter include how to better prepare before class, how to review after class, and how to improve my note-taking strategies.…

    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…

    When first posed the questions of how do I fit in at a college and how my extracurricular activities and experiences would benefit the college, I was not sure where to begin writing. To be perfectly honest, I think I would be a good fit on almost any campus because I believe I am adaptable to my surroundings and have a solid foundation that would make me an asset anywhere in the nation. While the previous sentence may come across to readers as egocentric or egotistic, I’m puzzled at where to begin because I also don’t think I’m outstanding anywhere compared to my fellow students academically speaking. On the other hand, it is almost a forgone conclusion in my mind that I have experienced more in my years than the majority of my peers. Also, as a result of many of these experiences, I’ve been able to get a jump start in my field of choice compared to where anyone else in the nation going into my career would likely be. Overall, I would say I have…

    It was the morning of move in day. I said goodbye to my home and headed out. I passed the local shopping market and my high school where I enjoyed a fun four years. As I headed to Norman I realized I was leaving everything I had ever known. All my life has consisted of living in the same house, going to school with the same kids, and going to the same supermarkets and restaurants. While I’d like to say I have developed a good idea of the world around me by visiting so many cities around the United States, in reality the only world I’ve ever known is the same one I have spent my whole life in. I have loved growing up in Northwest Oklahoma City with the friends that have helped shaped me into who I am today, however I relished the opportunity…

    My educational goals can be said to be broken down into three parts that are really the means to my ends which is the fourth and most important goal. First, Im working on getting good grades in every class, I want to work on having and maintaining a high competitive GPA. My second goal is to get my Bachelors in Political Science in an ideal time frame of two more years. My third goal and one that is out of my hands, one may say, is getting a scholarship. I know there is a large amount of competitive students in the school, who are well deserving of scholarships but I need this scholarship to alleviate my parents from their stress and hard work to keep up with my payments. The last and really my main goal, where my eyes are set and where I,…

    At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren't where you want to be, you will always be a failure. -Erin Cummings…
