My Longterm Goals

Improved Essays
Walking into this english class on the first day I didn’t know what to expect. For me this was a class I didn’t really want to take, it was a class that I didn’t feel I needed to take. After just the first day of class I soon relied that this class would only benefit me down the road. This class has effected my long term goals in more ways then I would have ever thought. In some ways it has taught me to speak my mind a little more and just do what comes natural. At the beginning of the semester my goals were cut and dry. My longterm goal is to be a successful actor. Acting is something I love very much and is all I ever wanted to do since I was a kid. On the first day of class at the time my goal was I will just go to school until I get discovered. As this class progressed and as the school year progressed I realized that not all I wanted to do. My other goals were pretty much how ever long I was in school I wanted to pass every class with flying colors. …show more content…
When that student asked that question I immediately thought is that what I am doing? Am I just going to school for my parents? It was that one question that really made me realize that I want to have to go to school for myself not anyone else. That day I went home and took a good look in the mirror. I realized that it was stupid of me to limit myself to one goal in my life. I told myself from that day on I will get my college education. Even if I do become a successful actor before I am done college I will still finish getting my

    The main reason why I think that HACC is the best choice for me is because of the cost. The rates per credit are around $250 and that is for in-state residents. The total cost for a commuter would be around $13,750 for a student who is full time, which means they are taking 12 credits per term (Stager). This price of $13,750 includes the price of books, supplies, food, and transportation and it is an average price for all HACC students (HACC.edu). I think that I could easily cut some of the cost by trying to buy my books online for a cheaper price or even eating at home to save a lot of money.…

    I set goals at the beginning of this class - goals I wanted to achieve by the end of this semester. After looking back at the sheet of paper where these goals were written on, I realized that they had all been accomplished. Also, after reviewing the essays I wrote before, I noticed that the most recent essays had gotten better and more improved. My goals created at the beginning of this semester when this class began were to improve my vocabulary and mechanics, learn to use citations, stay on focus, and have fun, rather than looking at writing essays as a school assignment that has to be done. Some skills have improved more than others, but in an overall outlook, all the skills I wanted to improve on had gotten noticeably better.…

    Realizing the factors that acted upon my journey to obtaining a degree in Nursing, I came across a quote, “Hold fast to your dreams, for if dreams die life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.” Written by the late Langston Hughes, this quote helped me develop an everlasting desire to achieve my immediate and long-term goals. It has guided me through challenging courses and reminded me that the journey to success as a health care provider isn’t an easy one and paths may certainly change. Health care in the United States, as I know, witnessed and been taught, has increased in diversity as well as disparities. Choosing Columbia University’s Masters in Nursing program and it’s goal to promote nurse-patient relationships built on trust, respect, privacy, comfort, patient dignity and shared decision making, will help me become a more cultural competent healthcare provider, aiding in eliminating health disparities and respecting the diversity in healthcare.…

    One goal I wish I had worked a little harder towards would be my participation in class discussions. I have always been really shy and especially quiet in class. Oftentimes I would know the answer to a question or have an idea, but not matter how hard I tried, I could not bring myself to raise my hand. I wish I had improved on this skill because in the upcoming years, it will become crucial for me to participate in class discussions. Another goal that I did not meet was improving my nonverbal delivery skills.…

    At the beginning of the semester, my goals related mostly to my future academic and career goals. After learning more about the value of communication, my goals changed to more “big picture” goals relating to the relationships I build throughout my life. While I did accomplish many of the goals that I set at the beginning of the semester, there are several that are still in progress, and several that I will never complete. My most important goal entering this class was to eliminate my public speaking apprehension altogether. I knew that this was a lofty goal, but over the course of the semester I began to realize that I could not and did not want to accomplish it.…
