...Educational Goals Martha Edsotne GEN/2E0 (BDDK1FUB46) March 16, 2015 Kellu Smidden Educational Goals Even though there are many other important areas of concerns, besides setting goals for academic success, the benefit of creating educational goals is that you have created a solid road map to lead you there.

...Prompt: Reflecting on your personal and educational goals, please write about how you believe UNC Wilmington will allow you to grow as a student and as a person. Campbell University has undoubtedly made me who I am today; however, it has also revealed to me that I have outgrown my current home. During my time at Campbell I have left behind a legacy for future students to take hold of rare opportunities that I have had the privilege to find and be a part of. The multitude of experiences throughout my academic career have led me to the conclusion that I want to work in the Public Health field- and I have exhausted all the resources that Campbell has to offer. UNC Wilmington offers not only a major but an entire department, dedicated to the Public Health field of study. Just as the field itself offers a vast array of possibilities, so does UNCW. With the innovative reputation that UNCW has to offer, it grants for me the possibility to study what I have a passion for....

...On the first day of graduate school, my professor said something that changed how I had previously regarded my education. She said, "unlike undergrad, graduate school is not about you. Grad school is about your clients. It is about becoming the best clinician you can be for them." These words have stuck with me, and provided perspective throughout the past 6 months. I learned that grades are not the most important part of my education, nor are they solely indicative of my current, or future success. While maintaining my GPA is important for graduation, it no longer motivates me to succeed. Rather, my educational goals are, and should be directly correlated with my career goals. For the sake of my clients, my goal is to learn as much as I can...

...success, planning and goal setting is critical, without having a plan, and setting goals self-accountability for success is difficult. Maintaining a plan to succeed and to hold yourself accountable for both success and failure is the first step in personal responsibility. Students that plan for and take personal responsibility for their education have drastically improved success rate of achieving their educational goals.

As a student, you must develop a plan for success and then be self-accountable to using this plan to ensure success. While there may be some outside influences such as Career Advisors, Financial Advisors, Parents, or Employers holding the student accountable to a certain extent, only the student is truly in control of the decisions they make on a day to day basis and lead to success or failure as a student. If a student looks at every decision they make and asks themselves "Will this decision move me toward my goals?" they are then making...

According to Frances J. Maxwell “due to tension I nursing that one quarter of fity five and older could leave nursing .”(www.Linkenin.com12/13) I do understand the stressors that have been placed on nurses. Since my employment goals could not be achieved without an education, and realizing that employment options are limited for me now. Accepting that statement as fact and realizing nurse on that web site were discussing their struggles, especially the older nurse who did not have their Bachelor’s degree, and even with years of experience was not finding gainful emplyment.This relization made me consider my choice of not furthering my nursing degree. Considering these factors prompted my decision to return to school and further my education. By obtaining my Bachelors Science in Nursing (BSN) and with work experience it will help my future job prospects and security. Recently I have been out looking for employment and have found that the BSN is more important then a diploma which I received in 1984. So the evidence proves that to be considered for employment a nurse needs their BSN; and with experience I may be indestructable sword who will find employment.(J.

After graduating from college allows me to find a career with my degree. Either it is a long term or short term goals they both can lead to success. Everyone has different goals when it comes to their education and career goals. For me it is important to make goals that I have to work for. There are two educational goals that I have and the first one is completing my assignments on time. Things in life can come up unexpectedly which can cause assignments to get turned in late. Having goals such as starting them before the deadline will help me complete them on time. My second educational goal is to be more active when it comes to needing help.

...Strategies to Achieve Educational Goals Shirley Lemacks HCS/301 October 3, 2011 Karen Benjamin Strategies to Achieve Educational Goals Setting goals can make life an interesting journey; however, taking the first step toward a goal may prove to be very difficult. Educational goals, along with any goal set must be specific. Decide what the goal is to be and be sure that it is understood what exactly it consists of. Determine what they will do after the goal is accomplished as it could take them into a different chapter in their lives. Another importance is to make the goal realistic and achievable along with measureable and timed. Failure comes when a goal is unrealistic and impossible to achieve. Give it a time line obtainable in the near future, not 20 years from now. As an older adult the wish to become a cardiac surgeon this year would be an example of an unrealistic goal. Once a goal is set, prepare for obstacles and hurdles to cross over. Decide how long it will take to accomplish this goal. After this goal is achieved, repayment would be spread out over time. Time is a valuable asset and commitment is a must. Construct a chart to keep up with academic progress and obtain a superior support system by involving family and friends. According to a study by Templeton research, “Once a goal is chosen, the mind has many processes to promote its pursuit” (Masicampo, 2011, p. 672).

Personal goals, educational success, and financial stability will be discussed as the main points of personal responsibilities. As everyone is entitled to their own opinion, responsibilities is defined as being able to act independently and make decisions without having someone authorizing it in particular. Personal responsibility refers to responsibility in a sense that one is personally responsible for achieving long-term and short-term goals, educational success, and financial stability.

A long-term goal may roughly take anywhere from five to ten years, maybe even up to twenty or thirty. If someone long-term goal is intended to be reached between five, ten, twenty or thirty years, it simply becomes a responsibility to make sure that the specific long-term goal is met. A master’s degree can be looked as a long-term goal. In order to achieve that goal, the person responsible must ensure that degree plan is created and carry out the task outlined in that degree plan. In that degree plan may layout some short-term goals. Short-term goals lead to long-term goals. Short-term goals could be in the realm of personal responsibility as well.
