...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.

...The past four years of my life have been chaotic, fun, and full of work. The most memorable thing was the very first class I had freshman year. My teacher, Mr. Kahler, was a former college professor, gave us a lecture on how important high school was. He wanted to make it clear that high school was a place to learn and to become successful. Mr. Kahler caught my attention and made me question myself about what I wanted to do when I get older. I asked him a question about it the next day and he told me to set goals for myself to achieve. So after that day I started setting goals for myself throughout my four years of high school. Freshman year, I set a goal to have at least a 3.0 grade point average every report card I received.

...“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....

The major goal for me is to insure that the reader gets all the information that is intended for them.

...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.

...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...
