Although beginning my program has been delayed by a year, I am still striving to accomplish this. My second short-term goal is to get an internship. My ideal internship would be located in a hospital setting working predominately with…

New Year- New Goals: 5 steps to help you set the Goals of your dreams While I am trying to cling to 2016 (for obvious reasons), I understand that 2017 is upon us. This means it is time to start setting our goals for the New Year! Many of us have grown tired of hearing the same clichéd sayings from “New Year-New me” to “leaving that in the prior year”.

I have plenty of goals I want to finish before I begin my journey in the world completing all my master’s degree, but before that I have a few short term goals and long term goals.

Yet another one of my goals is to maintain my intellectual wellness. School has always been very important to me. All throughout high school, I worked very hard to maintain a 4.0 GPA and to take as many college credit classes as my school offered. I want to try my hardest to keep this up for as long as I can in college. I know that it will be more difficult, but I think that it is possible. In order to get the highest GPA that I can, I will set a SMART goal to do homework for at least an hour…

being enrolled in this class, I had never heard of SMART Goals before. After watching the video, I sat at my desk and thought about setting a good goal for me. I have to admit, I have never been good at setting goals for myself. It might be because I don’t like to set myself up for failure, or that I tend to stick with things that come easy to me. After multiple attempts of filling out the SMART Goals Worksheet, I decided that I would set a goal that could further my career in law enforcement. I…

Most people in today’s society consider goals to mean the fastest way to make a lot of money. But, in reality goals should be for what you're passionate about, what your mind and heart thrive for, whether that be the best college or the perfect job.
