...Angela Carmon-Smith EDUC 1300/43081 May 6, 2013 8:00-8:55 SHORT-TERM GOALS My short-term goal is of a rather personal nature. Due to the fact that Diabetes is a common factor and ailment, not only in the African-American race, but more specifically, in my family in the later years of life, I have decided to lose my excess weight between the dates of January 22, 2013, through May 16, 2013. I plan to achieve this with daily exercising by walking the Skyline High School campus once a day for four times per week. This campus encompasses approximately 1 ¼ miles around. I also plan to watch my carbohydrates intake and decreasing and doing away with soft drinks until May 16, 2013, because of the calories and sodium associated with bicarbonates. These are empty calories and are not healthy for me. I also plan to cut back on and eliminate processed foods because of the enormous amounts of sodium. My goal is to lose ten to fifteen pounds within four months so I can be a more productive mother for my daughter. This will give me more energy to participate in her school activities because I will be able to be more active. Losing weight will also prevent me from obtaining other serious illnesses which are also part of my family’s history. I want to lose the weight, not just because of these high-risk ailments, but because I want to feel good about myself. I believe reducing my weight will improve my self-esteem, which will help me to be a better “people-person”, because...

...Personal Goals Paper Success begins with goal-setting. Without goals, there is a lack of focus and direction. Many people will often avoid setting goals because it seems too hard. Goal setting is about more than just thinking about them, it is about putting thoughts down on paper to see them. This makes goal setting much easier, especially when writing the goals down is what motivates each individual person. Goal writing must be in time frames, and must be measurable, and at the very least, doable. Setting unrealistic goals can result in the abandonment of all goals; therefore, a good plan needs to be laid-out on paper. This leads to successful goals. Hence, successful goal setting begins with good time management, identifying early potential barriers, and acquiring the needed skills to accomplish each goal. Good time management is the key to successful goal setting and achievement. Taking the time to create, tweak, add, delete or reconstitute goals is the biggest deterrent, and also the largest component for success in goal setting. According to O’Neill (2000), goals need to be set. Writing goals down on a piece of paper can go a long way. Goals should be specific. This means knowing who is involved, what to accomplish, and where it would take place. Next, goals should be measurable. When time frames are met, milestones should be measured and celebrated or reconstructed with a new time frame in mind. Goals should also be timely. A time frame of when a goal should be accomplished...

...acquired a bachelor’s degree in nursing, it is for this reason I have registered in the University of Phoenix BSN program. Taking this journey to continue with my education and finish my bachelor’s degree will open many doors for my future, therefore making my professional and personal goals attainable. Professional Goals Going back to school after 15 years is quite a challenge, setting short-term goals is a necessary step to achieving my long-term professional goal. My short-term goal is to go back to school to receive my BSN. To complete the requirements to obtain this degree, I need to find a balance between work and school and learn to manage my time effectively. It is crucial for my success to figure out the best way to balance school obligations while continuing to work full-time and take care of my family responsibilities. One would think that nurses working full-time with family obligations would have a higher level of stress and this in turn would lead to burnout. Research shows if a nurse going back to school has support from their employer and family, the incidences of burnout decrease (Dick & Anderson, 1993). To reach my ultimate goal there are other short-term goals that need to be achieved, such as improving my computer...

That is way I decided to return to school in order to earn my BSN. This paper will address the decisions that I will be making, the strategies I will use, and the milestones I will accomplish during my journey through the BSN at UOP, as well as in life. Once I had my personal and professional goals in mind, I was able to select the degree that was most likely to help me achieve my goals. I would like to start by saying that achieving my BSN is a short-term professional goal, and in order to reach my goal will be necessary to develop a plan of action that will facilitate the process of reaching my objectives.” According to Lazarus and Folkom (1984), adjustment to life events is mediated by the individual processes of cognitive appraisal and copying behavior”(Gall, Evans, & Bellerose, 2000, p.545). The authors believe that the living environment, familial relationships and the social support influence the copying behaviors of a student. In order to be able to adjust to the university’s requirements, one has to learn how to balance family, work and school, all at the same time. It is...
