My Goals And Aspirations

Improved Essays
Goals and aspirations are a part of everyone’s life. Without them we wouldn’t know what to work for, to strive for or to try and make a mark on this world. Some of my goals in the past were to graduate high school with above a 3.5 GPA and to get straight A’s, both I achieved. To me my education and career are important to me because I will be the first in my family to graduate college with my BS and possibly go on to graduate school. I would also love to get more involved in my new community.
With completing my high school goal to get my GPA up to a 3.5 by the time I graduated, I want to extend that to college to keep my GPA up and not let it fall. That means that I need to try my best in my classes, ask for help when I needed it, and always

    My goals right now as a High School student is getting me exposed to college classes and to preparing myself for College.

    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. Growing up in West Africa and witnessing firsthand the sufferings and impoverishment of the people around me, I developed a sense of compassion and willingness to make a difference and help alleviate their sufferings and put a smile on their faces. Healthcare delivery and poverty are two major underlying factors in the challenges faced in Africa, thus, when I got an opportunity to come into the United States, it was my golden ticket to finally give back to the community and make a difference. This led me into the nursing field; I started out as a Certified Nurse Assistant.…

    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.…
