...Goals in Life I firmly believe that if one plans on being a successful person in society, setting goals is a very important step. Having goals not only gives you a clear focus on things, it also helps you to organize your plans by allowing you to give yourself time limits and boundaries. Athletics are very fun, and may help count towards a goal in life. Sports may be fun, but you need hard work to become good at it. There is a chance that one day I may be able to get a scholarship for college. Sports take up time, and at some points are hard and may be a burden, but it is all worth it in the end. Becoming a better athlete is a goal of mine, but there are goals more important and the next one is. In only having sports and not education it would be like owning a car, but with out an engine inside. I want that engine; therefore I must get my education and maintain a high GPA. I could accomplish this by doing all my work. Also not only doing my work, but on time and as neat as I can get it. One goal that I work hard at daily is to try to do well in high school. I try to involve myself in any activity that I can, both academically and socially, so that I can graduate with honors. The reason why I do this is because I plan on going to college, and I would like to be able to get accepted into any school that I apply to. Immediately after I graduate, I want to start my career as an architect. In order to achieve my goal I will have to paying attention in class, and try to do more listening...

...Most people in life have some goals for their life. The poor want to become wealthy, the wealthy want to be rich. The dumb want to be smart. Some strive for a dream job as a doctor or lawyer or maybe even President of the United States. Standard must be set now that will provide success to those goals people strive to in the future. My goal is not to be become wealthy or famous or even obtain a dream job. My desire is live my life so well for Christ that even after I am gone, my life will still have an impact on others. I do not just want to be an ordinary Christian who only attends church, but I want His light to shine every day of my life. People will grow to forget many people who they have met through life's road, whether through school, work, church, social clubs, or any other thing they have been a part of, but people remember the person that changed their life. As a follower of Jesus, i want to be a man who is remember for saving someones life, just a doctor saves a terminally ill patient. Our country is dying from its religious foundations and unless Christians do their part, many people will waster away in the eternity of hell. I have the ambition to do something so great the entire world gets saved, and they may seem crazy, but it only starts with one person, then another. If I strive to change the world for the future I have to start with one person...

...Alexa Jaime January 7th, 2015 AVID 11 Life Goals Essay Now that I am a junior in high school, it’s important for me to know what I want to do with my life after graduation and what steps I have to take to get there. In order to pursue the career you want to go into, you have to take a few more steps in order to get to that point. It might take a while for you to get there, but it’ll most likely be worth it. For now let’s start with the basics. No matter what career choice you decide to want to go for, you need to have the proper education even after high school in order to get there. As for me, I was currently stuck between three collages; University of Washington, Washington State University, and Central Washington University. After doing some deep research, I stuck to my current choice in my future education with the University of Washington (I’ll explain my reason why I choose this school later). I know in order for me to get accepted into the University, I need to start working on some acceptance essays for the collage and to obviously graduate high school. I feel like those two steps are the bigger ones to take as of right now. Let’s say I end up getting admitted into the University of Washington, now I need to figure out what courses I want to take in order to get where I want to be. As for me, I would like to work in the dental industry and become an orthodontist or dental assistant. Like I have stated before, I did some deep research...

...Running head: THE ADVANTAGES OF ME QUTTING SMOKING My goal to stop smoking Sarah E Fortenberry One main goal I have set for myself is to stop smoking. I have been a smoker since I was fifteen years old, and I find it unattractive and very nasty but yet it seems to calm me when I’m stressed, and it also has extremely bad consequences. For one I have a son and I want to be around him my whole life and if I continue smoking I could possibly develop cancer and live a short life and my son would not deserve that. I do not smoke at home or anywhere near my son or in my car, I only smoke at work but that’s still not an excuse that it is okay to me. In the following paragraphs I will provide information of three articles that I’ve read, one to understand more of why I do it, how to do it, and benefits to encourage doing it. The first article I selected is “Men, Women, and the Dangers of Smoking” and written by Dennis Thompson Jr. and medically reviewed by Pat F. Bass III, MD, MPH. The article explained to me that there is gender differences between why men and women smoke. I never knew that smoking could be defined by gender. For a man it explains that it keeps them going throughout the day, and for women it is mainly used to decrease stress. I do agree for me that is does decrease stress because I only find the need to do it at work after having a huge rush come in for coffee. The article explains that women...

...Overton Croomes 9/6/13 P1 My Ultimate Goal in Life “When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you will be successful.” A quote by Eric Thomas, from a motivational video I watched one day. Its senior year and time is ticking till graduation. As I transform into a mature adult, it is time for me to make decisions and set out what I want to be in life. My ambitions are to obtain an athletic scholarship for football, to help pave the way to becoming a civil engineer. It will be a bumpy ride along the way, but I can propel myself to achieve anything. I anticipate though sports such as football, can fund for my schooling to become a civil engineer. If I have a phenomenal upcoming season I can hopefully get recognized by athletic scouts and receive a full ride scholarship to a university. Though the off season I trained arduously to improve my talents as a player. Once I have reached my goal of becoming a student athlete in college, I will study a great deal to reach my main objective of becoming a civil engineer. Civil engineers deal with the designing of roads, bridges, and major highways. They construct the major structures around a city .The description of civil engineers, are to be fluid in mathematics and sciences. Therefore, I have enrolled in Calculus A.P. and Physics 2 A.P. These are rigorous courses to take, but both are the foundations of engineering. So why not get a step ahead of my competition...

...Since I was little I’ve always liked helping people. It never mattered if they asked for help on something that I didn’t know how to do, I’d help them as much as I could. Before it was always help on homework or things that they wanted me to do. Most recently I have been through some things that really affected the way that I want to help people. I’ve met some people with really hard lives, which made me realize that I want to help people with depression. When I talk to these people they tell me about what’s happening in their lives, and it saddens me that no one else has tried to help them or even listen to them. I have an amazing family. Everyone supports everything that I do if it makes me happy. My family has shaped me into who I am today. As a little girl, I was always told “do to one, as you would do to yourself.” So, I always did. My parents raised me to be respectful to people who respected me. They were with me through tough times and through good times, and I know they will be there for me in the future when I need them to be. Growing up around both my mom and my dad, I’ve learned a lot through what they do, and how they treat people. I believe thats the reason that I dream to help people. Another thing that has encouraged me to help people is my music. The music that I listen to gets me through some bad times when I don’t want to talk to anyone. If you listen to the lyrics, they actually mean something. Usually the lyrics talk about the bad times and things the...

...As I look at my life wondering how my life would have been if I had started setting goals in my life while I was in high school. To know what I wanted out of life, I have made this my personal responsibility to set goal in my life that what personal responsibility means to me. I wish my high school had prepared us more about setting goal and knowing what we want to be as we get older, but in an article there is one school that get teenager a worksheet where they set goals and give themselves a guideline on how they will reach their goal and they set a new goal every three months (Scarborough, Lewis, & Kulkarni, 2010). I have learned from “University of Phoenix” workshop is how important it is to set goal which can make your life less stressful, which made me to think that it is very important to set goals in my life and also my education. In another article that I have read there was a sentence in the article that stood out to me which says “When personal goals are written out, other gains are achieved.” (Morisano & Shore, 2010, p. 252) to me that mean as longs you write out what goal you want to achieve you can put yourself to it and make it happen. Without setting any goals in my life I felt as if I was going nowhere in life and I knew it was a time for a change for the better so I start setting goal in my life to accomplish. However, as I was getting older I never figured out what I really wanted out of life or even what I wanted to do. I just worked and went to school without...

...A life without goals is really a life without purpose. That is why I have laid out my goals into four main categories of my life. My main 8 goals in life are in 4 categories, which include high school, college, my career, and my personal life. To begin with, the first category of my goals in life has to do with high school.One goal I have in high school is to play soccer on the Marina team for all four years I go to high school. This could help me by preparing me for college, not only to get on a college’s soccer team, but it also would teach me to work hard and not give up. To do this, I will have to constantly be ready to sacrifice my free time in order to be willing to train with my team. Moving on, I would like to graduate high school with at least a 3.5 GPA. While this will be...

...In my day-to-day life, I would like to address and solve the problem that I face with time management. I have found that in the past time management has been a major issue, not only in my personal life but also academically and professional. I am starting a new school, have a job and have a family to take care of. I want to make an effort to give all my endeavors my all, in order to do this I would like to refine my time management skills. To develop time management skills I plan on researching a plan of action from the textbook. The information that I have found was in Chapter one. The textbook gives various steps to better time management such as setting goals for you. Goals are an important part of life, but it is even more important for my time management plan. I will be seeking steps that the book suggests for time management and determine which steps will be beneficial for particular part of my life that I will be evaluating. Not all the steps will be beneficial for me, but most will. I will determine which steps will be necessary to use, for example, how my personal life will affect my professional life or how my academic life may affect my personal life. I will begin to set goals for myself before determining a time management plan. I will set short term goals along with long term goals for the part of my life that I need to work on time management plan. I will start with my long term goals that have the largest scope and a longer timeline to achieve. The timeline for...

...Responsibility is applied when I am self-motivated, I have time management and set personal goals. This will insure academic success. Being self-motivated is the force that drives me to do things. It makes me hold myself accountable for academic success and personal success. Being self-motivated pushes me to achieve my academic goals and pushes me to finish a difficult task. It will help me be sharp and not be influenced by the wrong people, and to be open to positive learning. I will set higher goals than normal people because I am self-motivated. Being self-motivated it will give me the ability to do what needs to be done, without the power or influence from other people. It will give me the strength to complete a task, even when challenging without giving up or someone to encourage me. I will motivate myself not to give up on my academic success, and I will graduate from college. I always told myself that I wanted to go back to school and get a diploma, but I never motivated myself to go back to college. I was always working and taking care of my family, so I always found an excuse not to go back to school. Now that I motivated myself to go back to college, I will not look back and receive my diploma. Self-motivation will be an important factor in my academic success. Having time management is the key to having academic success. Without managing my time due to personal, and work life I cannot be successful in bettering my education. Time management will give me the ability...
