...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 ...

...I believe that the first step towards setting and achieving personal goals is that you must realize you have to prepare for the future and not wait for it to happen. My life in retrospect has had many changes and twists; it is in a constant state of development. The process of getting ready to write this essay was very challenging. It really forced me to focus on my life and how it has changed as I have matured. Setting goals has forced me to take a look at my values. I have always wanted to have a husband I am in love with, a stable job, happy and healthy children, and a house in the suburbs. But now, after living life and surviving some defeats I realize that there are no guarantees in life except the ones we choose for ourselves. I have the stable job, happy and healthy children, and a house in the suburbs, but that does not bring happiness. The only way to improve your life is to improve yourself. I think that once you begin this journey everything else in your life will seem to balance. There are many steps I had to take on this journey of self-discovery. I needed to define and understand my values and why they are important to me. Then I started to think about my immediate and long-term future and started to set some personal goals. I realized that I was waiting for my future to just happen. My first short-term goal for the future is to become content with myself. I want to be satisfied with the decisions I make, even if the outcome is not ...

...My personal statement goals consisted of figuring out for myself why I should be accepted into the program, and what makes me unique compared to the other candidates who are applying for the same program. This goal was supposed to help me in being a more effective and persuasive writer as a whole. In addition, I also had a goal of writing more creatively, something in which I had not yet explored prior to this assignment.

...I’ve always treated my life like a race. Setting goals in the race to make sure I hit the marks that I need to so I can run the best race I can. I’ve learned that if you don’t set goals you want to accomplish then you settle. I’m not one to settle, instead I want to strive to be the very best I can be. I have learned I have to give at least 100 percent to reach where I want to go. Setting mini goals along the way to reach the biggest goals I have in life. As I have reached the conclusion of my highschool goals I am starting to reflect on what I have accomplished and what I would like to see myself doing in the future. I went into highschool with one main goal- keep a high grade point average while participating in athletics and keeping...

...Over the span of my eighteen year-long lifetime, I have set hundreds of goals for myself, from scoring goals in soccer games to getting an “A” on this next math exam. Goals are a great tool to use to focus one’s attention towards things that benefit one who needs to get something done. Back in July, I wrote a few goals that I wanted to achieve during my first semester of sophomore year in West Virginia University. My first of these goals was to earn at least a 3.5 grade point average over the semester. All throughout school back in my hometown, I had gotten one “C”, one “B”, and many “A”s. I was used to being one of the smart kids with the good grades. In college, I assumed that everything would be different, and that I would struggle a lot more than I had. Just recently, in the middle of the second half of the semester, I calculated my expected GPA. If I end with the grades that I expect to have for the semester, I will have a 3.7! When I wrote down my goal, I thought that I was setting the bar too high so that I would push myself to achieve the goal. Now I realize that I really can do better than I expected, and plan to push myself similarly in the future! I also wanted to stick out to my teachers during my first semester. I have met...

Indeed through life experiences I have had, my dream of being a doctor has become even more vital. Furthermore, I have a passion of finding strategies for improving health care.

...during my childhood years to live up to what was expected of me. I did well in school and had an intense desire to learn all that I could. I spent many days and nights reading the works of my favorite authors, and even my mother’s old textbooks from college. I felt certain I would grow up, go off to college, begin my career, and be successful. When I was first asked the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?”, the possibilities seemed endless. However, I had no concrete answer to this question. I thought, “I simply want to be happy, help others, and be passionate about what I do.” Little did I know, answering this question would be something I would struggle with beyond my high school career. While I’ve always known I can do anything I set my mind to, the fear of failing...

...There was no singular event that occurred in my life that I can say will influence my academic work or goals at Colorado Christian University. Rather, what I have experienced as an Emergency Medical Technician will enable and guide me to fulfill my goals at CCU. While studying to become an EMT, I heard many instructors warn us that if we proceed in the field, we would develop a morbid sense of humor and a desensitization towards our patients. I didn’t believe this would prove true to me. I was a caring, compassionate person, who wanted to be a Pediatric Registered Nurse. After working in the field for only about a month, I had a patient die on my gurney. Being left to grieve on my own, an empathy switch flipped off in me and what I once thought would never happen, did, in fact, happen....

I want to empower my clients with better health and function with my future knowledge in disease prevention after I graduate.
