    Goals are easy to set, but take determination, perseverance, and confidence to achieve. During my junior year of high school, I played on the varsity golf team. At the beginning of the season, our team set the goal of winning the sectional tournament in order to advance to the district tournament. Working hard as an individual and teammate to reach our desired result would be a necessity. At the sectional tournament I was on the 17th hole when my coach indicated I would need to score below a 90 for our team to advance to the district tournament.…

    Goals can be either long term or short term, and some goals require different skills than others. Playing softball taught me how to set my goals within my capabilities and taught me that in order to achieve those goals it takes more than physical work but mental toughness as well. Sometimes our biggest obstacles can be ourselves, and we can get in our own way of pursuing our goals and dreams. In order to be able to achieve goals, you have to show a work ethic beyond the average person.

    Being a part of my high school women’s tennis team for 4 years has taught me how to thrive in a team environment while still growing as an individual. Tennis is an interesting sport in that even though you each play individually and accumulate a personal win-loss record, you are ultimately judged at the team level – if you don’t have a competitive team your win-loss record won’t matter because your team will be eliminated and your season will be cut short. I think this creates a unique environment where you are forced to reconcile your personal ambitions with the interests of a team and I believe this is the most important lesson that I have learned from being on this team. My goal when I joined the team as a freshman was to become the top…

    Keeping my three personal and professional goals realistic, I would have to say a personal goal is to finish school at SNHU with a 3.0 GPA or above. I think a way for me to accomplish this goal is to stay focused on the tasks at hand, maintain a good relationship with my advisors and to utilize some of the tutoring options that are available to me as a student. Another personal goal is to work on myself, mentally. I cannot be a good mom or wife when I have the stress, anxiety and depression that I do. A way to help accomplish this goal is to not only start speaking with a psychiatrist (first appointment is August 4th) but to also have my thyroid checked.…
