My Goals
This semester is a new beginning for me. I 'm excited to continue this year working hard for good grades and experiencing new opportunities that make me a better person. My grades in school are my highest priority. I’m always worried about my grades going down or not being prepared for an exam. However, I will not back down this semester. I plan to do the best I can to learn a good impression for the rest of the college years. This year is the start of many more and I don’t want bad grades to lower my self esteem. The way to keep good grades is to study hard, go to class, and focus on the education. Anytime I can find time to study before or after work, I will make good use of. Waking up in the morning for class can be a struggle some

However giving back to the community is something I still want to pursue more often when I can get the chance. I enjoy helping out in nursing homes but can sometimes be hard to help out for so many hours. After working in the hospital for 2 years, i’ve come to realization that I enjoy working with senior citizens. This motivation I had to give back gave me new opportunities at different nursing homes meeting a variety of people. The St. Francis Ministry would be a great place for me to visit to find more information about service at various places who need volunteers. I see service now as I am helping those who need me, when no one else will or can’t afford to. When I become of age in which I need guidance, I would want someone to do the same for me. Working toward this dream of mind, to work with seniors, Next summer my goal is to take a physical therapy technician course. This course will give me a view on what my career field will be like. The class will teach me the start of what I will be doing for the rest of my life. I will also be able to help others in a way that I feel makes more of an impact. I will need to enlist in the course soon to ensure I get an opening as soon as possible. This course will take a lot of time out of my schedule and may be challenging for me. Never before have I taken a class that is specialized for a specific job. To prepare for this class I can talk to a counselor and maybe discuss what I can do in preparation of the course and how to sign up. I am very excited to be able to make a difference in the world so early in my life with a fresh start. This semester I believe is going to change me as a person for the greater and help me overcome challenges in the far

    As a future register nurse and as a woman I feel that a have a tremendous responsibility to give back to my community. I believe that one of the most forgotten populations in our community is the elderly, and as a society we have so much to learn from them and to thank them for what they did in the past. I strongly believe that if I could make some positive changes I would decide to do them to influence some senior citizens’ lives and to change their isolation for companion and thankfulness. I would advocate for the elderly with our authorities and I would request a budget to build a clinic to provide preventive health care services for them. I would designate a budget to build a nursing home for the elderly that do not have a place to…

    I would say that I learned the most about what it really means to have time management after this semester. Entering my first semester of college I had blind faith in the University, and myself because I believe everything would just work out and I would pass because it was meant to be. However, fate and hope are no the things to help you life as a new college student. The drive to wake up, attend class, finish homework, and accept the new responsibility that had been placed in my novice hands diminished greatly as the non-academic temptations became to creep in my head. I must be honest with you and let you know that I did cave and willingly participate in the sweet release of social experiences.…
