Goals For College Research Paper

Decent Essays
Most people in today’s society consider goals to mean the fastest way to make a lot of money. But, in reality goals should be for what you're passionate about, what your mind and heart thrive for, whether that be the best college or the perfect job. A goal is something you want out of life, the mark you want to leave on the planet after your time has passed. My goals include to get my bachelor of science in nursing, so I can make a difference in the lives of others, as others have done for me. I plan to further my education in the art of sign language, and learn to speak fluent Spanish to help broaden my horizons and communicate with others throughout my career. I intend to continue to expand my knowledge of the musical arts for pure enjoyment

    My Personal Goal Statement Every day I wake up, I ask myself how I can make a difference. This question has helped shape my personal values and principles and directed my path into the nursing field.
