Goals And Aspirations
Goals and Aspirations
By Nicholas Aaron Bullock
When I grow up and go off to college I would like to pursue a career in electrical engineering. One important answer to this question is more opportunity. A college education is very important to me. High school graduates today are unable to obtain the number of high-paying jobs that were once available. It serves as the gateway to better options and more opportunity. The importance of a college education is also emphasized because of the opportunity to gain valuable resources during your time. The more connections you make from professors or friends are made during your college career, the more options you will have when you begin your job search. This scholarship will certainly strengthen my opportunity to pay for my books, fees and programs which I may not be able to pay for. The scholarship can help me further my professional training and certification goals that I have set for myself and will in turn help me start a true career in electrical engineering.
“A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad.”
-Theodore Roosevelt

    My goals for this class is that I want to understand more about how people feel about ethics and if they want to change them. If they want to change them, then why do they want to change them, and what would they change them to. My only fears are that maybe the instructor does not put enough information out about the assignments on what should be done. That even after I contact the instructor and ask questions that I believe will help clarify the assignment, I still will not understand the concept behind the assignment and how I should go about writing or completing it to get the full credit on the assignment.…

    What does it mean to have a goal? For me, it means working hard at something in order to accomplish it. From the moment I started TKD, to now, my goal has always been a black belt. It seems crazy that it’s coming up so soon. To be a black is honestly, such an honor. It’s definitely not something that’s easy to get. No, you have to work at it and learn and grow. To be a black belt is such an accomplishment. Looking back to when I first joined, this is all I ever saw ahead. Goals are not always easy to accomplish. When it comes to TKD I’ve had to work so hard to get to where I am now. It is not something that just happens over night. It has taken me six years to reach my goal and I am so happy it is finally here.…

    Life for me has been very interesting. I started off in the nursing field as a nursing assistant and patient care tech at 19 working my way through school both full-time and part-time until I finally graduated from Virginia State University with my Associate’s of Science Degree in Nursing. After accomplishing that goal I have reached somewhat of a plateau in my life I have so many short and long-term goals I want to accomplish both professionally and personally. Some of professional goals are, becoming a supervisor at my current job, obtaining my Advance Life Support Certification, obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing, enlisting into the Navy Nurse Corps, becoming a Nurse Practitioner, and eventually one day becoming an Administrator of an Acute Care Facility. As well as having professional goals in life you should have personal goals. My short and long term-personal goals are; relocating to Chicago, Illinois, getting married, and having children. The typical American Dream. These goals are not far from my reach with self motivation and perseverance all of these goals can be accomplished.…

    Scouting has taught me many things about myself. It is a big part of who I am now and it will stay with me forever. Through Scouting, I have learned the importance of preparation, personal responsibility, service to others, and leadership skills. I first started out with Cub Scouts where I earned every rank and received my Arrow of Light. After Cub Scouts, I crossed over to Boy Scouts and joined Troop 40. I have been extremely involved with my Troop and I have done almost everything they have had to offer. I am proud of the fact that I will be the 6th member of my extended family (cousins) to earn the rank of Eagle Scout from Troop 40, all under the guidance of the same Scoutmaster, Mr. Clifton Glover. I plan on staying involved Scouts to improve on my leadership skills and earn additional merit badges. I would also like to earn the three Eagle Palms.…

    For as long as I can recall I had always been afraid of aspiring for more than I had the ability to attain. This summer I met my future wife, I just didn’t know it yet. Although that is another story that was written on its own, but once we were in love and both accepted each other, we came to find that others did not agree with our decision. We thought our bond could overcome anything including their reproach, but, sooner than later, it began to come between us. Soon my life became a struggle to keep our love a secret from society. We didn’t want different treatment, because we were both still the same people we met and the same girls everyone else knew. I was afraid of losing her to the world. I began to consider my options. Let my love go and let society separate us or follow my intuition and just live my life the best way I knew how. I chose to live and love even though it was hard from the start. I began to love my girlfriend fearlessly. I began to fight for us and overcame my fear of the unknown and the contempt others may harbor towards us. Even though we had challenges to overcome and people to confront we both held fast to the opportunities that lay ahead. The glares and sly whispers from others only provided a reason to prove them wrong thus I grew more determined to be happy no matter what the circumstance. She gave me the confidence to not only pursue my goals but actually fulfill my potential academically and set ideals for my life. She allowed me to be whoever I wanted to be, without letting go of how I got there. She was the kind that let me embrace those internal contradictions that made up an entire oxymoronic, complex and complete human being. I learned that sometimes swimming against the current doesn’t always mean drowning, it sometimes means…
