Unit5 midterm

The five words that apply to my life right now and will also apply to my life in the future when I reach my goals after I graduate are tools, skills, values, discipline, and goal. I have chosen these words because I feel that ITT tech will give me the skills that I need for the type of job I am looking for. I chose values because that is will I will learns while I am learning my trade. Disciple will help me overcome the obstacles that will try and take me from the path that I have chosen. Last goal, I chose this word because I will achieve those goals that have been put in my life to reach.
Tools are an item or implement used for a specific purpose. It can be a physical object or a technical objet like a software program or it could be consider a concept or something kind of knowledge that you have learned to help you in life. This applies to my life because I am currently going back to school to obtain the skills that will help me at my current job but any future job that I will apply for. The tool will also help me in my social life and help me better my life in general. Skills is defined as a talent or ability that comes from training or practice. The skills that I currently have are good skills like I am great with multitasking. This skill is valuable because I can concentrate on more than one thing either in the work place of just doing regular this. The more skills you develop in life and your work area the easier things will be for example if I learn all the necessary skills for the major that I am taking up and I master those skills. The easier it will be for me to get a job because my resume will showcase all the skills I have to be qualified for the job that I am apply for. Values are important beliefs or ideals shared by a person of a culture about what is good or bad and desirable or undesirable. Values was instilled in me at an early age. These values help me in my everyday life by helping decide what is right and wrong and also help me in my everyday decision making. If my parents didn’t put those values in place for me at a early age I couldn’t imagine where I would be right now. Those values help me from going down the wrong path plenty of times. I might have been in jail or out here robbing or stealing if it was for what they have taught me. This is very important for everybody I think. I will teach those good values to my kids when I have some so they can be able to make good choices in life. You can have values without discipline. Disciple is defined as the ability you have to control and motivate yourself, stay on track and do what is right. This is also important to learn at an early age as well because if you don’t I will hard to achieve your goals. It is not impossible to learn disciple when you get older but it will be hard because you are already set in your ways. I had learned some discipline but not enough when I had first went off to college that is mainly why I didn’t finish. I have since mature and have more discipline to motivate myself and stay on track to achieve the goals that I have set for my future which is to get a bachelor’s degree and maybe go and get a masters as well. The last word that I am going to define that I think fits my life is goal. Goal is define as a desired result a person or a system envisions, plans and commits to achieve. I am at the point in my life that I believe that I can reach my goals. One of the goals that I have started working on is to obtain a bachelor’s degree at ITT technical Institute. This goal I feel is obtainable and I feel I will reach this goal in four years or less. Other goals I want to achieve in life is to get a job that I will enjoy and make more money. This will be obtained by getting a degree. I also will reach the goal of finding me a great woman settling down and getting married with the woman of my dreams and have kids.
In the five words that I have talked about are great and they have a lot in common. Without some of these attributes that I have pointed out you might not reach the goals that want. Without tools you want be able to get those skills. Discipline and values go hand and hand an are almost the same thing. All of these fit into goals because without them you will have a hard time meeting your goals.
