Personal Narrative: My Goals As A Student

Improved Essays
I have two goals at the moment that i want to accomplish. My first goal is to graduate high school with my CNA Certificate. My mind is set on this goal. My second goal is to college. This may seem to be the same goals but they are very different in they way i want to accomplish them.

I plan to start with my CNA class before i graduate. A strength that i have is if i start an assignment i will have to finish it. I can’t leave things undone if i’m halfway done. Another strength would be motivation. This is not just a goal of mine, this is also my family's goal for me. And this just gets me more motivated to put this CNA class as one of my priorities. Now a weakness would be my laziness. I really am lazy and i will postpone everything

A strength is motivation to be someone. I don't want to die working as a cashier or a minimal wage job. I want to die as someone that worked for to get where they got, if it's in a clinical helping patients or if it's as a lawyer or even as a teacher. This is my one and only strength. Now for my weaknesses is my schedule. If it's either my sleeping schedule or my working schedule. I know i wouldn't be able to go to college without struggling . i feel like i wouldn't change within a year. I'll still be the irresponsible lazy teenager. My opportunities are being the first one to go to college in my family. Many of my cousins decided to go to college, but they don't. I want to be the first one in my family to actually go to college. Another opportunity might be my social life. I hear college gets you to be social and i need that in my life. I'm not an open person, i don't like talking to people and i'm very bad with conversations. And a question might be, why not be social in high school? Well i've already gone to high school or 3 years and i'm tired of it. It's my last school year so i don't see a point to start now on being social. College is a good thing it's very expensive. Very very expensive in my case. We don't have much money. Money may seem a funny threat, but money is very important in education. The more money you have, the more you can get a better education. Money is my only threat. Where will the money needed come from? I don't want to have my parents in debt for the rest of their life for me. Money is one of the worst yet best threat and opportunity to

    Looking over the directions on how to complete the Clifton StrengthsFinder assessment it sounded like another psychological analysis into our minds to track the way we think (Anderson, Clifton, & Schreiner, 2006). It reminded me of a test given by major companies to a candidate for an available position to see what made you tick or find out if you would steal from them or go postal on the whole company. But to my surprise I actually learned something about myself, things that came natural to me to the point of not really paying any attention to them. According to this assessment my top strength is Strategic which does make sense to me when I started to review the results printed out on my report.…

    At first I thought of myself as the least empathetic person on this Earth, but through the last few weeks, I have noticed that I put people before me. I can see this as a strength, but mostly as a weakness. I feel that putting people before yourself could lead to self-neglect. If you focus on others and their work rather than focusing on yourself, they are excelling and you are not. My last strength was adaptation.…

    I might not be first in my class, or I might not always get the best grades in the class, but I always have that determination to work hard to be the best that I can possibly be. When I wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror, I always want to be able to tell myself that I will and have done the best that I can. Another strength of mine would have to be that I am well organized. I like to have all my academic school work organized, which I believe also helps me cope with time management. Being well organized, makes getting my school work done efficiently and due on time possible by knowing when my assignments are due, and where my assignments are, rather than losing track of my work which may take extra time out of my day to find that information, which ultimately gives myself less time to study and get the most out of my education.…

    Being reluctant to improvise could be a strength for me by my patients knowing that I will stick to the books and I would not do or try anything I was not comfortable with doing. Having the need to have constant acknowledgment is a strength in itself. I will always be trying harder and looking for that recognition from my superiors. Concerning the fact that I neglect my own needs, I will never have my doctors question my priorities because they will already know that I will be doing everything I possibly can. Having weaknesses isn’t always a negative in my case because this will only push me to be better and work…

    I was just a small freshman, scared, nervous, and excited about my new adventure at a whole new school with a lot more people. I started off the first semester really strong, ending it with above a 3.0 GPA. Right before the second semester started I lost two very close and influential people in my life that I always looked up to as they helped guide me in my life and wanted me to reach for the moon. Getting the news that my Grandma had passed away from old age and my Aunt dying from a heart attack just a couple weeks later is just the worst thing anybody can ever hear, especially if they were your role models. They were the ones who influenced me to become an accountant and become a CPA, they helped guided me to take the correct classes in school and what I needed to learn and focus on.…
