Personal Plan for Success
My Goals
Academic Goal
My academic goal is to complete all my assigments on time and push towards getting nothing less than a B so I can graduate with an associates degree in Allied Health Science within two years. I think my goal is clear, measurable and realistic. It 's clear because this is what I have to do to reach my goal and nothing is going to distract me. It 's measurable because as the weeks go by I can measure my grades by my performance in class. It is also realistic because this is a do-able goal I feel I can get good grades and graduate on time.
The reason I chose to get this degree is because becoming a nurse is and has always been a passion of mines I just chose not to pursue it until now. I 'm not as knowledgeable as I want to be but thats the reason for taking this course so I can learn more than I imagined. I love nursing because helping people gives me great joy it 's sort of in my nature. Attaining this degree will give me the knowledge and credibility I need to go out and find the perfect job.
My motivation for achieving this goal is based on the fact that this is my second college and failing is not an option. My intrinsic motivation for graduating would have to be my love for helping others in need. In order for me to achieve my career goal I would first have to achieve my academic goal. Reward or not the feeling that I get from being able to see people feel better and helping the ones in need is more than enough. My extrinsic motivation would have to be my family. I want to show them that I can reach my goal because not finishing my first college an degree gave them the impression that I wouldn 't do anything with my life and by accomplishing this goal it would make them so proud of me and shocked and that 's what I want.
My attitude will help me achieve my goal because a lot of times I get into that I don 't feel like working or this is boring mood and thats what hindered my performance at
