Everyone has different goals in life, most people are successful and achieve their goals and most

just go through life with no cares. Setting short-term and long-term goals is very important so you know
where you want to go in life, setting goals for me gives me ambition to reach them. I aspire to be
successful in life by having a good job and graduating from high school, those are a few important goals I
have currently. Eventually goals change, a few years from now you may want something different for
yourself or you might have accomplished one goal and have others you need to work on. Reminder hard
work pays off. I remind myself that every day because the more I do that the more I feel confident with
achieving my goals.
After high school I am planning on attending a college either in Georgia or Illinois. Nursing is a
major I’m most passionate about, throughout my high school years that’s what I’ve been most interested
in. I took a few classes such as into to healthcare, sports medicine and phlebotomy, I’m CPR certified as
well. The medical field requires a great deal of training. It’s about 6-8 years of education and training, the
RN program takes two to four years. Being in college for a few more year for a degree won’t bother me
because when you want to achieve a goal you would do anything for it. Many people dread going back to
school after high school but I’m gladly looking forward to it.
Before nursing I thought about being a lawyer in mind, if nursing does not go the way I plan that
would be my second choice. In a few years I envision myself working at a hospital with my dark blue
scrubs on. I see myself in the medical field and there’s many reasons why, I get along with others very
well and I love helping people. My everyday life at my job would start off and end positively because
nobody wants a disrespectful, negative nurse. I would come into my job open minded and ready to learn,
everyday it’s something new you can learn and I’m open to learning new things.
I have personal goals as well. Of course I’d want to have children in the future, I would want to
be financially stable first. I want to be able to buy my own things and be independent. After high school
I’ve been thinking about moving back north to Chicago, there’s more opportunities over there and all of
my family lives over there. Traveling the world has been something I’ve always wanted to do, before
doing any of that I would make sure I had enough savings to do that. Saving up money and spending it on
the needs before the wants is one of my most important goals as well.
In conclusion having goals is knowing you want something big for yourself in the future, as long
as you have planned out what you want to do later in your life no matter if it’s long-term or short-term
you aspire to be successful. Setting goals and having a vision for yourself in the future. Being confident in
what you want and go for it is an important factor in trying to reach your goals. Having pride in what you
do and trying to achieve what you want is important for after high school.
