This is one of the greatest and most important goals I have because it has such a huge impact on my future and my career/personal goals. This goal is a goal that I really control all of the factors for, in other words I am fully responsible for this goal. It doesn’t involve anyone else. I have always thought that I will be able to fly through college but I have found that I was very wrong. My brother is in college and just finished his freshman year. He said it was nothing like highschool because it’s a lot tougher and you are on your own. So his experience changed my thoughts a lot. My second college goal is to get into medical school. I am the only one in my family that is really interested in the medical field. It has always been a goal of mine to get into medical school. Getting into Medical school is extremely important to me because I want to be a doctor of some sort in the future. So obviously I need to get into medical school. This is difficult though because I have looked up the acceptance rate and the qualifications you need and it isn’t gonna be easy. I feel that it is probably my most difficult goal. My college goals are very important to me and affect my personal goals in a huge …show more content…
I would like to be a doctor of some sort. I know that is not very specific but that is really all I could narrow my goal down to. I am breaking one of the rules of goals but I have 8 more years to decide what medical field I would like to be in so I feel I will be okay. This goal is really important because it is my whole entire career and the goal all of my goals have been leading up too. Every decision I make is going to effect this goal, so I need to pull it together in high school. My second personal goal is to travel the world. This goal is very broad and i would like to keep it that way. I don’t want to write down one place I want to go all over. I want to see some of the most historic and beautiful places on the earth. This is very big because I feel like having knowledge of other cultures would help me understand and give me a better understanding for everything. This is a goal that I feel will change my life

    The person I picked to discuss these goals with my friend Brady Shorey, he has been my inspiration in school and has become someone who I really look up to. The main reason I look up to Brady is because he has created a life out of nothing, he has worked incredibly hard for everything he has; leading to him becoming a successful lawyer, Brady had goals and dreams and through his hard work he transformed dreams and aspirations into reality. His general response to my goals was positive, the one suggestion he offered was to start now rather than waiting. He explained this suggestion by stating, “the longer you wait, the easier it’s going to become to put these goals off and forget about them.” He also encouraged me to really push myself, not settling with a lower bar, but really pushing yourself by setting high expectations for yourself.…
