Goals
There are times that I like to think about the future, I like to think about what I want to do in life and how I plan to achieve them. The easiest way to organize my thoughts about the future is to make my plans into goals. Plans and goals are basically the same but when you make something a goal it makes it easier to work for and obtain. When I make goals I like to make them according to the type of goal it is, it could personal, long term, or short term. Whatever the type of goal I set I like to include ways of obtaining the goal.These categories help me keep my goals organized and easy to obtain. Long term goals are hardest to finish yet the easiest to make. My long term goals are what I want to do when I grow. My favorite goal in this category is that I plan to have my PhD in computer engineering by the time I am 26. I want to go to A&T University or Temple University to study engineering. To complete these goals I need to keep up my GPA and get involved in as many engineering activities as possible. To make getting into the college of my choice easy, I need to make sure that I know all requirements I need to get into the school and engineering program. Another long term goal of mine it to travel to the major cities of the world. Some of the cities I would like to visit are Rome, Paris, Melbourne, Venice, London, and Rio. All these cities are huge tourists attractions that have a part of the country’s history in them. I want to travel the year after I get my PhD before I start my career. I am hoping and planning to have enough money saved so that I can travel using my own money. Once I have my PhD and have traveled for a little while I would like to settle down in a small town and have my dream job, which I have not decided yet, and start a family. The other category I like to categorize my goals into are my short term goals. My short term goals are mainly all the activities and things I

    My short term goals include getting my Capstone Diploma, maintaining good grades in my academics, striving for success, and graduating high school. Striving for success is essential as well as graduating high school, but I feel like they are less daunting than the other two short term goals I have. Getting my Capstone Diploma will be a challenging road. It is not easy to achieve what the College Board requires for in that class, but I know that both the teacher and my determination will guide me through in order to accomplish my goal. And as for maintaining good grades in my academics I will have to turn in everything on time and study the material given in the course in order to grasp my goal. For long term goals I want to become a successful electrical and computer engineer. I know this goal will not be easy, but I feel like I have the determination and confidence that it takes to reach my…

    I have always set my goals in my mind only, focusing on the main goal, never considering smaller goals. Since I have become a student at GCU, this class has taught me a lot about motivation and goal setting, and how these skills work together. I like the smart goal chart, it has shed a lot of light on the task of goal setting. The chart allows me to see all goals in front of me on paper, and with the proper outline it helps me focus on one step at a time in acheiving my goals. I like the idea of setting smaller goals, and then rewarding myself as I accomplish each step on my way to accomplishing the main goal. I have learned when I take on smaller goals, and reward myself along the way, it motivates me to press on toward the main goal. I will…
