As a student, it is important to set goals to strive for.Without goals, it is difficult to track your progress.
Short Term Goals:
To have a GPA of at least 3.0 at the end of the semester.
It’s important to keep a good GPA throughout my college career to not only keep my scholarship, but to prove to myself that I can do it.I’ve never been big on self-esteem, so if I can prove to myself that I can do something good, it’d be a step in the right direction.
To earn an A on at least one paper in English 101 by December 10.
English has always been a weak subject for me.I don’t know if it’s that I actually have trouble writing or if it’s that I have no motivation to write what I’m told to.I rather do enjoy writing recreationally.But if I could put some of that motivation and drive into one of my English papers, I’m sure that I could crank out one amazing paper.
Long Term Goals:
To receive an Associate in Science at the end of my two years at Tri-County Technical College (June 2010).
I am a college student with an undecided major.Not the best thing to be when you’re spending a ton of money to learn more.For now, I feel that the best way to continue my education would be to get a degree under my belt.An Associate in Science would be the way to go for now, as I am a math and science buff.
To gain studentship at Clemson University for the Fall 2010 semester.
My next big goal.I hope to keep my grades strong enough to enter Clemson with an Associate’s degree under my belt.This will show Clemson that I am a dedicated student, and it will show me that I have what it takes to do what it takes.
To find what I want to major in by the time I enter Clemson University.
As I have already stated, I am undecided.Which, I suppose, is alright for now as I am going for a general Associate’s Degree.But by the time I get to Clemson, it is important that I know what I want to do so that I’m not sitting around wasting time and money on classes that I won’t need.
To graduate with a degree in my major of choice by 2012.
A goal based on my previous goals.I don’t want to sit around wasting time in college.I feel that I have wasted enough time in my life doing meaningless nonsense.I need to know what I want to do, and I need to get it done.I have a direction, I just may need a little push.
