    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…

As I stated previously college has benefits and one of those benefits is less stress. For example, let’s say you have a family of three college gives you an opportunity to get a job doing what you love (in most cases). In return you have a steady income and not much to worry about because that income provides you the opportunity to get food and have food on the table for your kids. Only a heartless parent would waste their paycheck on something other than providing the care and need for their child.…
