Goal Letter
6 November, 2014
Greetings Ms. Joi Chester I am a freshman here at Clark Atlanta University majoring in sociology hoping to open my own youth service program and become a correctional counselor. It was very difficult to get here being as though I am from California and I come from a low income family. My fear of failure resulted in me making a late decision on attending, and struggling financially to relocate out of state. My ultimate goal is to overcome my fear of failing. Overcoming my fear of failure has always been difficult and extremely over whelming for me. Emotional growth is a part of my list of major goals because I have always struggled to have the strength to cope during difficult situations. I want to remind myself daily that I am emotionally prepared to obtain the negative things that are bound to occur in my future. I want to be able to understand that everyone has obstacles to overcome in the near future and not feel like I’m the only one experiencing difficulties in life. This goal is important to me because not do I feel myself giving up and falling apart at times, I also feel like I am failing myself and others who believe in me. I fear failure, so I give up and move on to the next thing before my fear consumes my actions.
I’m afraid to accomplish this goal because In order to move on I may have to envision and understand situations and emotions that once drained me. I have to execute this goal or I’ll never be able to accomplish anything in life. Once I have fulfilled this goal I will be confident and consistent in any project that I intend to take on. In order to achieve this goal I have to believe in myself and the person I have potential to be. I desperately need to find my purpose in life and stop worrying about everyone surrounding. I left a dysfunctional family and a loving boyfriend back home who I think about every day. Taneshia, Chance, Bernard, Barbara, Alexis Erick and Ty’jon. These are the people who motivate me

    When faced with a hardship in life,certain aspects of people can change negatively. Even though an individual can become a more generous and caring person after experiencing a life changing event, that is not always the case. When an individual who has lived a perfect and successful life attempts to fulfill a task, and their attempt is in vain, how will they react to their own personal failure? Despite the possible positive outcomes, the negative ones are more likely to occur, such as: melancholy, self-loathing, fear of persevering, etc. Not everyone in the world is full of positivity…

    In considering which path to take in graduate school, I immediately had a flashback to when I would travel with my mother and care for my younger siblings while she worked as a counselor to provide assistance with psychosocial support and mental health care to communities, families and individuals in conflict and post-conflict situations. Having the opportunity to observe her and the organization change so many people’s lives while providing them with hope, planted the seed of nurturing and counseling in my heart. Since middle school I have devoted my time to taking on every opportunity that comes my way to volunteer with helping my community better the lives of our youths.…

    When I first applied to colleges, I applied under the notion that I was going to become a police officer. I was going to get my Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice, take the police exam, and become a detective. Over time, however, I was able to take a variety of courses that would change my life forever. One of the classes that I particularly enjoyed was Child and Elder Abuse. Having worked with children in high school, volunteering at my school and church, as well as having a case worker instructor, my interest in youth care skyrocketed. In the class, I learned about the warning signs of abuse, how to write 51A’s and the step by step process of investigating complaints. From then on, my interests began to shift.…

    Failure, when pertaining to human achievement is the act of not reaching success. Failure, though, in its own right is just an idea because as Winston Churchill once said, “ Success is not final, failure is not final; it is the courage to continue that counts.” This is a lesson I learned at the end of my freshman year of high school. Freshman year wasn’t my best year academically, athletically, or socially. I wasn’t specifically failing in any of those areas, but I released at the end of year how strikingly mundane I had been when I thought I should have been exceling. I beat myself up, considering anything less than my expectations a failure. I wanted to give up and not care. The weird thing is though, is that this mishap I had didn’t detour…

    My life of failure and true disappointments has been what I would call an educational disaster. I believe in the foundations of education, the roots of learning which stems from the roots of your soul and the passion in which you strive for. I pray for success and courage that I will make it. I want to do my best and like Florence Chadwick when she swam in the mighty ocean, she never saw the bottom, she only saw the shore line and sometimes that was even difficult, but with motivation, determination and most of all strength, she braved the darkest hours as well as the shining moments. Her arms and legs may have given out, but it certainly was her heart that did not quit. I will be brave in my mind, for I do not want my mental diseases to take over my heart and make me a quitter again. I have PTSD, and I have come up with an anagram for the 4 letters, Positive Thinking Shall Develop. This will be one of my motivation words that I will put by my mirror to make me smile and strive for that tassel of hope.…

    As far as topics that interest me are concerned, none are more relevant to me than the topic of failure. This past year was significant in that it has seen the failure of multiple intimate life goals of mine, some of which I've pursued for years, others, for months. However, the failure of these goals manifested all at once making me grasp for explanations. Initially, my perception of these failures was negative, similar to that of most people who fail to realize self-determined goals. However, as time went on and life unfolded, I've come to realize that my negative perception of these failures in particular, and failure in general, was skewed, flawed, and was a result of premature judgement of outcome. For one, my failure in fulfilling these…
