I have always had goals and I think everyone does but the hard part is accomplishing them. Goals for us is like a drive or ambition to keep us going. It's important to set goals for our self so we can have a prediction or an idea of what and where we're trying to eventually get to.
My goals this year is to try to get better grades than last year and to always try to do better. It doesn't necessary mean you have to do bad even if we had a great year there's always room for improvement as I see it. I want to maintain a 4.0 or above GPA. Some things I need to do to achieve this goal is get good scores on my tests which is studying more and to be on time or ahead of my assignments which can cause me a lot of stress if I don't keep everything organized. I know if I stay on track I can accomplish this goal.
Some of my other goals are to be more involved at school and meet new people. In order for me to do this is to change it up and step out of my comfort zone.Another goal is to read more I love reading but never do it and I don't mean as in my teacher making me just reading a book because I want to. I need to learn how to separate school from outside activities. As much as school is important and to me it is; I have to know how to sometimes take a break and enjoy myself as well. Short term goals are important too because it makes you get to a point you want to be and then you began to succeed more and more which makes it end up being one goal just put into sections.
As more of my life long goal is to go to a university and become a nurse. I don't have a particular university I want to attend but as long it has a great nursing program I'm interested. If I stay on the path I am right now it wont be hard to get there.
Hey Mercedes, I love your idea of having goals, I couldn't have said it better myself! I too, believe that setting goals for yourself is a way to have a perspective what you want to do in the future even if on the way there you change your mind. I believe that setting goals for ourselves helps us push ourselves when things get rough because of the desire we have to meet these goals. Your ideals are on the right track and it is great that you view having goals in that way because it will help you stay on track of what you need to do like you want. Its great that you know what you want to be as an adult, knowing what college you want to go to is important as well but we still have one more year to decide that! I really hope you get to accomplish the goals you have set for yourself this year and the for the years to come!
