...I plan to study at COC for the next 2-3 years, during which I would complete my associates degree and transfer to a 4 year institute like University of California. I chose to start from a community college rather than a university, because of the affordable fees and flexible classes. I also have the option of taking a class that is completely different than my major, like Acting or Music. I had participated in a play in my high school and for a brief period of time, I considered acting as my major. Having a certain goal is what differentiates a person from another, and as I grow mature, so do my goals keep changing and I begin to expect more from myself. My first academic goal is to complete all my classes, while maintaining a Grade A, and keep on improving. Since middle school I have always seen my future, working with automobiles. I have always been good at Mathematics and Physics, which further encouraged me into choosing this major. I plan to successfully complete my associates degree in Mechanical Engineering and transfer to California State University Northridge.

My fifth goal was to become a manager of a major logistics company. Finding a College that fits my Schedule The specifics of my first goal were to locate a school that fit my schedule. I work a job that requires me to be away from home for days to weeks at a time. I needed a school that was flexible and accessible even when I was away.

Some short term goals that helped me achieve this goal was first to narrow down my choices to 5 online colleges.

Another short term goal was to see which college was accessible away from home via phone or Ipad because I traveled a lot and the use of internet to my laptop would be little to none.

...“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness” (Emerson). There are plenty of tangible goals that I have set for myself and will continue setting for myself. However, all of these goals funnel towards my primary goal which is to find happiness. Ultimately, happiness is what everyone strives for. In 1776, the founding fathers of the United States listed three unalienable rights that every living person has: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I would argue that every action of ours is done in attempt to reach one of these three goals. For me the most important goal of the three is the pursuit of happiness. I have been given only one life to live so why not live a happy one. Regardless of what major I end up pursuing or what career field I find myself in I will have decided my path based on what will make me happy in the future. I know that choosing happiness as my primary goal seems very broad and vague. I chose this goal because as a senior in high school I do not have a plan for my life set in stone. I do have a general idea of what I want to do with my life, but if I discover something that will provide me with a happier life, I will not hesitate to switch up my plan....

...My Approach to Writing By: Michael Czeczeli My goals for this course are fairly simple. My biggest goal for this course is to learn how to write a paper and get my point across without going overboard with run- on sentences and un-needed info. In my career field it’s going to be very important to be able to get my point across with minimal errors and mistakes. Another goal of mine is to learn to overall like writing. When I first started school I couldn’t stand writing papers or sending emails, but since that is the biggest line of communication today I need to learn to love it. I plan on using my writing in many different ways. One major way I plan on using writing is sending emails and letters to customers and employees at work. I hope to be a General Manager or at least Assistant General Manager of a major company or corporation after graduation. I plan to also use my writing throughout my college career. My college career is looking to be a long one since I plan to continue until I receive my masters’ degree in business. A really big use of my writing will be helping my daughters as they journey through school over the years to come. When I set out to write an academic paper I usually set a few goals for myself. The major goal for me is to insure that the reader gets all the information that is intended for them. I want to make sure that they fully understand where I’m coming from without drawing it out too much. Sometimes I have problems with run-on sentences...

...your intended major, including your readiness to succeed in your upper-division courses once you enroll at the university. Here are some questions to help you get started: How have classroom experiences shaped your interest in your major? What experiences outside of the classroom have helped develop this interest? What other influences (culture, community, family, etc.) have steered you toward this major? How is your intended major tied to your long-term goals?

...As a teenager, it is way too soon to decide on a major that will determine the rest of my life. Lucky for me, I had the privilege to take a variety of different classes during my high school career to help me discover my college major and form new goals. Classes like weight training, chemistry, band, creative writing, and American politics never truly sparked a flame in my heart. But, when I took the computer programming class my senior year, I finally knew. Everything escalated from that semester on. I built my own computer, learned how to build a website, and even took on an intermediate programming class. Without these variety of classes, I may have never found my passion for computers. Having the opportunity of taking various classes in different fields allowed me to shape my own goals and let me experience the world in a different perspective....

...Roles and Functions Paper Valencia Sutton HCS/325 08/12/2013 Mosunmola Adeyemi Roles and Functions Paper In order to be a good and effective manager one must possess four basic characteristics. The four major functions of management in a health care setting are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Leading involves implementing the plans and helping employees work effectively toward accomplishing the organizational goals. The first major function of management in a health care setting is to plan. In order for anything to be accomplished, a plan must be put into place. Planning helps a health care manger and other employees stay organized. Part of the role of being a health care manager is knowing how to plan out goals effectively. Planning is utilized to enhance the role of a health care manager because it helps to identify goals clearly (Agriculture and Rural Development, 2001). When goals are planned effectively, the amount of time needed and effort that is used for achieving those goals would be reduced. The second major function of management in a health care setting is organization. Being organized helps a health care manager stay on track with day to day goals. In a health care environment, organization includes arranging tasks, people, and other resources that would assist with accomplishing the work (Lombardi, Schermerhorn, & Kramer, 2007). A health care manager must be able to construct plans build from their organizational...
