My Goals

One of my academic goals I have set for myself is to always strive to do my best in every class. I am not setting a certain GPA for myself because I think it limits a person's ability to see past that goal and work on always reaching their personal best. I know there will be plenty of days that I will feel like not trying my hardest, but I am going to try to over come that and work to achieve my goal. I plan on going to class regularly and studying hard to achieve this. I think it is very important to set academic goals for myself because it gives me a specific direction to follow in order to be successful in school.

A personal goal that I have set for myself throughout college is to try and really define who I am. I choose this goal because I think it is important for a person to define who they are so that they can feel confident with every part of themselves. I would like to walk away from this experience with a new perspective on myself and life. I think during college it is a period of self exploration and internal thought. To achieve this goal I have to do things that are out of my comfort zone and meet all kinds of different people. I am looking forward to new change and growing as a person.

A friendship goal that I have set for my goal is to make life long friends. I think throughout college is a time when you meet people you will truly care about and connect with. It is important to me to make these friendships because those are the people you will remember for the rest of your life, you will forever share the bonds and memories of some of the greatest times in your life. To achieve this goal I plan to put myself out there and be honest and open with others.
