Everyone should have personal goals that evolve around anything that needs to be accomplished. I set goals on a daily basis. One goal that I seem to have not truly focused on has been my college education. Considering all things, I decided I needed to focus on my college education. The first thing I needed to accomplish was to enroll in an institution for higher learning. Now that my enrollment is complete, I am an official student at the University enrolled in the undergraduate program for business management. As a student at the university, I now have to set personal goals so that I will be successful in my endeavors. My personal goals are to gain personal growth and development and graduate from my undergraduate program in business management with honors. After my completion of the undergraduate program I will then move on to a master's program.

To accomplish my goal of personal growth and development, I will make sure that by the end of every course I take I will have a full understanding of the subject matter. This is where I will take advantage of the learning teams that are offered in conjunction with individual learning. The way I look at the learning teams is that they are there for me to learn and share experiences with my peers. If there is something that I do not fully understand, I can in turn go to my learning team for the answer. If I cannot get the answer from my team then I will go to the instructor. I will not stop until I have a full understanding of

The ultimate result of this paper will reflect my personal goals that I hope to achieve as a University of Phoenix student and which I have been and am trying to pursue and obtain. They are goals that I feel I need to have in life in order to survive, prosper, and succeed to higher full-filling and journeys. In this essay, I hope to convey to the reader how I am optimistically moving to reach these goals, as well as represent to the reader how one can set their mind to determine the goals that he or she needs and/or wants to reach and see that he or she can do it!

My personal goals that I would like to achieve as a University of Phoenix student are naturally instilled in me. They are goals (at least most of the goals) that I strive for everyday.

One goal that I would like to achieve, is to be the best student that can possibly be. This means that I want to learn, read, communicate, be prepared for, and successfully complete as much material as I can with respect to all my course’s assignments and participation throughout my entire Bachelor Degree Curriculum. I want the teachers to see and feel that I am really trying my hardest to do and excel in the learning materials presented to me; but also, that I enjoy the tasks, challenges, and completion of the assignments. The best reason that I have for enjoying the tasks, challenges, and completion of the assignments, is because I love to learn...

... hard-working, giving, motivated, energetic, pleasant, and trustworthy, so that he or she can feel comfortable in what I am doing and expecting them to do. In other words, I want my employer to trust in me and what I tell them I need to do, in order to accomplish their goal of assisting ex-offenders and whatever other goals their organization or company may have. Further, my goal would be to show them that I am the best employee they could ever have, by reflecting a hundred percent productivity and success outcome in everything that I do for them, as well as for our clients. Of course, I want to be recognized, respected, and paid accordingly to help ensure that I will in fact, stay there until my retirement, and live happily ever after.

My objectives for returning to school are to fulfill my personal and business goals by increasing my knowledge and gaining skills to become an asset to my company and family. I need the challenge and stimulation that learning offers me to enhance my self- esteem, which will enable me to handle conflict in the workplace. My main goal for increasing my knowledge base is to make a difference in the lives of others. Financial stability is also important aspect when making the decision to return to school. Education is a tool to achieve many goals. Learning gives me the challenge I need for self – enrichment and to expand my awareness by helping me understand the corporate world. It will also enhance my self-esteem and bestow pride in what I have accomplished. Someone told me once that ‘Knowledge is something that can not be taken away from you.’ Financial stability is a factor for gaining more skills that will help me become more marketable in the workplace. By increasing my knowledge base it will benefit me in obtaining a promotion. Being a single mother with two children has been very demanding and my expectations for providing for them is essential. One of my main skills that I need to obtain is to learn how to handle conflict. Conflict is a difficult subject for me to deal with. I hate confrontation and have a hard time adapting to those types of situations. My way of dealing with confrontation is by not dealing with it at all. It’s not that I am fearful, but I can’t understand why some people are unable to be a team player and that we are all trying to reach the same goal. My children have been a big reason why I am furthering my education. I want to set a good example by being sound role model. With the hope, that my accomplishments will enable them to become successful adults.

Personal Goals I want to Achieve as a University of Phoenix Student
With a degree from the University of Phoenix, I will rule the world! The worlds that I will rule are my own internal and external ones. These worlds consist of paper, development of personal skills, satisfaction and achievement, titles, and specialized knowledge. My goals are personal, family-oriented, business-related, or just plain selfish.
The receipt of a diploma is something that I perceive as slightly superficial. Obtaining this piece of paper, which will hang on my office wall, is an external, visual symbol that represents a base of knowledge to others regardless of whether or not that base of knowledge is applicable or implemented. In addition, the receipt of this paper will also allow me to update my resume and finally complete the education section. The business world puts an extreme emphasis on a formal education and to be a viable commodity a degree is a necessity and I have to succumb to this line of thinking.
The continual development of personal skills is a thirst for which all individuals should strive. Personal skills that I anticipate on developing through my education at the University of Phoenix will be team learning, time management, and the development of better organizational skills. The development of these skills will enable me to communicate more effectively and efficiently, be more productive as a Manager or part of a team, and assist in general de-stressing. The development of th...

My Personal Goals as a Student

An obvious goal as a working adult returning to school is, of course, to earn a degree. My overall goal is no different than any other student, however, I also have several personal goals I hope to achieve while attending the University. Some of these goals are to acquire new skills and enhance my current business abilities, to apply what I learn in the classroom to forward my career, and to feel personal satisfaction of finishing something I started.
Already having experience in the business world has proven to me that it is essential to have skills to maintain and improve daily functions. Three skills I’d personally like to improve on are my organizational, time management, and presentation skills. At my place of employment for the past five years, I’ve noticed that as I gain more and more responsibilities, it becomes harder to remember appointments or find items on my desk. The need to become more organized is quickly becoming a necessity. If I were more organized, I’d spend less time searching for things and would have more time to dedicate to my new responsibilities. This, in effect, will help improve my time management skills at work which will hopefully rub off on my habits in my personal life. If improvement was made on my organizational and time management skills, I’d hope that I’d feel more prepared and therefore, more comfortable to make presentations in both the classroom and the workplace.

Education has always been a primary concern for my parents, who taught me that if I need to succeed in life, I have to be educated. Following their guide, I have always valued and tried to get the most of any educational opportunity I have had. Having grown up in a business family, I have always been interested in focusing my career in the business field. My Mother and Father own their own company, and they are constantly talking about business, which has inspired me to follow their path. When my parents retire, they want me to carry on their legacy. For this reason, I have decided to pursue my studies in the field of Business and Leadership at Marylhurst University. I want to pursue a well-rounded education at this established university where I also can have life experiences in the outside world, which will ultimately help me to become a successful leader in our family business.
Early education followed by a liberal arts university education is the foundation for an educated person; it gives one a broad scope of knowledge and a well-developed core of functional skills. These ski...
