My Plans After College

Improved Essays
To begin, I plan to be a fairly organized student and be able to get my assignments done before they are on time and have extra time to work on them incase I need to fix them. In all the facets of my life including, academic, personal, social and professional I hope to balance them in a way that helps my personality grow, my strengths show and my talents flourish. I know that I will have many opportunities and experiences in my life and a lot of the important ones will come to me during my years in college, mainly because the choices I make now will either enhance or hurt my future. Therefore, it is my job to make the right choices for myself. Academically I plan to stay on task in school and try to keep on track with all of my classes. …show more content…
While in college I want to maintain time for myself and friends to do things, such as, a movie, bowling or just hanging out to get some coffee. I know that it is very essential to keep your life upbeat and to have free time to do the things you love and enjoy and be with the people you love and enjoy spending time with. Even though finishing school is my main goal, I should still have fun so that school doesn’t wear me down. It can be draining, so I want to be sure to keep time to do the things I like. It is also possible to tie these things in with school, considering all of the activities that IUPUC has on campus. I want to be sure to attend many of those things too; this is a great way to make friends also. Being social is proven to be helpful to a person’s life because when we are around others and or talking to people we feel more involved and happy. In other words, “A new study finds that belonging to a social group helps to alleviate depression and prevent relapse” …show more content…
I love getting things done; it is just getting myself started that takes me time. I have to keep myself working or I will move on to something else that is not as important. My talents are not so different but I love talking, being active and I feel I am really good with all ages of people. I enjoy finding something they can relate to me with and getting them to speak with me to make them feel better. A lot of the time I find myself always wanting to stop people who seem to be in a bad mood and do everything I can in my power to cheer them up. I feel that is a talent because that will be most needed when I become a teacher. To conclude, all of which I have covered will impact my ability to reach my educational and career goals. If I stay on track, as I would like to and am sure I will, I will be able to finish college with good grades and become a teacher, which is my career choice of course. I hope to become the best teacher I can be and change lives through elementary school, which can be thought of as one of the most influential times of our lives. I want to make a difference in children’s

    Transitioning occurs in all stages of life whether it’s from a baby crawling to walking, or an elder moving from their home to a retirement facility. One transition in life that most of us face is the evolution from high school to a college or a university. With moving into a new phase of my life I was optimistic about the difficulties of becoming comfortable with the population, the diversity, and the college life in general that Wayne State provides.

    Post-Secondary plan After high school, I intend to go to Cabrillo Community college. Once there, I intend to major in psychology to become a mental health counselor. I chose this because since I was a small child, I've always wanted to help people, but felt that taking a career in medicine was not something I was interested in. To do this, I will have to take several courses in general psychology, professional ethics, cognitive psychology, and counseling psychology. For each semester, I intend to take four classes, and two courses in the summertime.…

    My experiences in SCI 195A this semester taught by Ingrid Peterson and Dina Schwartz have been nothing less than extraordinary. Being a first semester freshman at a top university, such as the University of Arizona, is a tremendous culture shock even coming from a nationally ranked college preparatory school as I did. Although college is full of opportunity, it entails legions of work! College certainly includes more responsibility such as time management, test taking strategy, and planning for the future. Each of these values (and more) were passed onto me this semester by Ingrid and Dina.…

I know what my goals are in life, I know how to accomplish it and how strong my desires are when I want to be successful in something.

    Describe your educational and career goals and explain what or who has inspired or helped shape these goals. During my high school years, I recall working in the fields during vacation breaks with my mother harvesting tomatoes, picking up cherries, and pruning grape vines. Fascinating as it sounds, I was always intrigued to understand why fruits and vegetables spoil or often cause food poising in humans. Although, when I questioned my mother why these fruits spoil, she responded it was due to "little bugs," which was not a sufficient response.…
