Set goals for yourself. Start by setting a goal to be completed by the time of your graduation. Then set a goal for yourself a few years after you graduate. Consider these questions:…
Describe your progress for each goal. If you have met or exceeded a goal, also…
My academic goal management plan that I set for my English 111 class has been a benefit for my grade and myself. Before I set the goal of pushing out an A for English 111, I had a C in the class. I still do not have an A yet I have a B, but it is progress. I also set a goal that requires me to accomplish a 4.00 “GPA” by the end of the semester. I am not there yet, but I am getting close as I approach the end of the semester. Goal setting has impacted my English grade, because it gave me a sense of urgency. Goal setting kept me focus on the big picture, which was to complete this semester, ending with all A’s. Goal setting also steered me down the rights paths; like a “GPS” system, it made sure that I did not…
Without goals you have nothing to work towards. Some of the goals I have set for myself this year are to get into a high school program. The programs I would like to be in are Computer Science at Freehold Boro, Medical Science at Freehold Boro, or International Baccalaureate program and Freehold Township. I plan on achieving this goal by studying hard, getting good grades, and always striving for more. Another goal I have set for myself is to make the playoffs this year in football. I plan on achieving this goal by working hard at practice and getting all my teammates to work hard also. If I achieve these goals I think I will have an even more honorable…
Having grown up in a single parent home with two sisters who did not complete high school, made the pressure for me to succeed unimaginable. The constant reminder of achieving greatness has stuck with me since I was eight years old. Throughout middle school I was top of my class, in high school I graduated cum laude with a 4.4 GPA and currently in my 1st year of college I am top of my intermediate/college algebra class, I scored the highest grade out of all 5 of my psychology teachers classes, and I have an A in my Philosophy class. My educational goals consist of gaining knowledge throughout my entire life, achieving higher than my goals, being as involved as I can possibly be with my college/ community, and continuing to prosper. Ever since…
My goals for an academic occasion is to pass high school by getting a passing grade. I want to graduate out of high school and maybe go to college but I don't know. I am going to get grades of C's-A's which is also my goal and have no late work, so I have to make sure I focus and just finish all of my homework and do well at school. Also, my freshman year I want to win at least 1 basketball game…
I set a goal for myself, which was to improve my overall GPA each quarter. Slowly, but surely, I was getting better grades and boosting my GPA. Junior year was my best year academically. I set more academic goals for myself. I stayed on top of my work and in the end it paid off because I was able to exceed my goal. My GPA has increased vastly since the start of freshman year, but I silently thought to myself: “If I’ve made it this far academically, why not end high school with an even greater GPA?” I know I have the potential to increase my cumulative GPA to a 3.5, and I am currently striving to achieve this goal with high hopes. I learned very valuable lessons throughout my journey of high school. Not all mistakes made are necessarily bad. Many life lessons come from the mistakes we make. If you fall, get back up on your feet and go the extra mile because it will help you in the end to get to where you want to go. I now know why my parents and teachers instilled in me the concept of learning from your own mistakes. My mistake was taking freshman year lightly. Although it is too late to go back and redo the start of freshman year, all I can do is continue to put time and effort into my school work. I intend to focus on a smooth transition from high school into college, setting analogous goals for myself.…
academic goals. I have a hard time with personal goals. With that being stated, I have decided to…
In order to be successful academically there are some things we need to know, goal setting is one of them and maybe not a lot of us know how to meet educational goals without getting side tracked by other things that are going on in our life. I had no idea how much I needed to think about how I would help myself continuing my academic success until this general education class I had to take opened my mind to new ideas. Setting educational goals is an important part of your academic success, this will help us stay on track on what our educational goal is. A goal will not let me sidetrack if I keep repeating to myself what my goal is. Educational goals will also assist me in planning a good strategy to make my goals move forward and become a reality not just thoughts. I may write down my goal and follow the steps towards reaching it by reading it daily. My educational goal is to finish my criminal justice bachelor in 3 years and no more than that. I am also looking forward to an academic success goal which is getting a job that I enjoy and that pays me a lot more than what they pay me right now.…
There are many types of goals. Growing up, I always dreamed of being two things: a mother and a nurse. I am blessed to have two wonderful children ages 14 and 16 and have had the privilege of being able to be a stay-at-home mom during their younger years. Now that they are older and a bit more independent, I have decided to go back to school and fulfill my goal of earning my degree in Nursing. Throughout the years of growing and maturing, I have learned how important it is to have good morals, values, goals, a passion for something, and a good education. I have not only taught my children the importance of these characteristics, but I have also shown them that regardless of one’s age or stage in life, that…

I have to find the best solutions for these to save my GPA somehow to secure my scholarship and records. Getting the grade ‘I’ is the best solution to save GPA, as it doesn’t count towards the grade point average. The others are submitting past missed assignments and past missed tests without facing any restrictions and finally getting professors support to increase the final grade.…
My academic goals represent a positive approach to the lifestyle I prefer to follow, the goals that I have set serve as a motivational element to overcome any obstacle and encompass myself with only positive thoughts and…
Each individual has his own reason for pursuing a graduate degree. Professionally, a graduate degree shows that the person has the motivation, ambition, and dedication to improve and thus strive to obtain a position in which he/she can apply and expand his knowledge base. Many perceive a graduate degree as a status symbol, an opportunity for advancement, or even a cause for more money. The choice to seek additional education after investing four years in an undergraduate degree shows commitment to learning and recognition of self-worth. I chose to pursue a Master’s degree for two reasons; to obtain a higher learning level of education and to eventually increase my annual salary. The first, and most important, reason for my wanting to pursue a Master’s degree is to obtain a higher education level. I believe that obtaining a graduate degree will definitely make me more marketable in the corporate world. My goal is to broaden my horizon beyond the technical world, unlock career aspirations otherwise blocked, and enhance problem-solving and decision-making skills. I am hoping that by pursuing a degree of higher learning, I will pick up enhanced skills that will enable me to be more of an asset to a team once I enter the workforce. I truly believe that without the knowledge, strength and…
Many people work toward something in order to improve themselves. This act of aiming toward something in order to achieve it is called setting a goal. Achieving goals usually improves the person who is setting them. Not abandoning the goal teaches the person discipline, and achieving the goal will improve the person as well. During this school year, I would like to improve myself by ameliorating my grades and becoming closer to God.…
