My Long-Term Goal
The graduate school that met my long-term goal is Jacksonville State University. My current career goal is to be certified as an Applied Behavioral Analysis; and to later pursue my nursing degree. I choose applied behavioral analysis because I am passionate about helping people and working with children. I saw it as a great opportunity to work with children and adults who struggles with autism and other developmental disabilities. The Jacksonville State University Psychology department is uniquely suited to support a broad range of behaviorally focus courses leading to the Masters of Science degree in applied behavioral analysis.
Obtaining a master’s degree in the field of Applied Behavioral Analysis does not only include financial opportunities

    Long Term Career Goals

    When it comes to my education my short-term goal is to finish out this school year and maintain my current GPA. I find it easier to motivate myself each day if I have set in stone grade goals in mind. My long-term education goal is to finish my Associate of Applied Business degree in spring 2017 and my Associate of Arts degree in spring of 2018. I have enough classes and credit hours to finish a second associate degree in two part-time semesters. My short term career goal is to continue where I am until I graduate and learn as much as I can from those around me. I find that the people around me at my current jobs are very intelligent and it would be wasteful of me to not learn what I can from them before I move on. My long-term career goal…

    Personal Goal Statement

    The way a person believes is usually influenced by various different life factors, which is why no one ever agrees on everything. We all have our own aspect of life. The place where one begins to learn and pick up from is usually home with family. Although there are many things including, friends, books, media, income; and even race, gender, and ethnicity that contribute to why people believe differently. My own beliefs, I think have been influenced by family of course, but also by my own personal knowledge and experience; which is only gained by living.…

    Personal Narrative: Am I Worthy Of Myself

    In my past, I saw, felt and listened through a black and white world. Now I have a paintbrush to create the vision of my future with color. On occasion, I take the time to reflect back. I think about how my past weaknesses have accumulated to create personal strengths. I have become an excellent student who values education. I have broadened myself through activities such as establishing a Sign Language Club at my high school, attending Boy’s State and getting involved in the local community theater. These are only a few of my achievements I never thought possible. Now my dream is to pursue Child Psychology so that I may reach young people as I draw from my own experiences. My life is just beginning again. I choose The University of North Carolina-Asheville to help further my…

    Personal Goal Statement

    Some kids play sports in high school. Others are in the band, take roles in theater, or members of the debate team. Myself, I did not so any of those things, because, since middle school, my life has been fully devoted to practicing my passion for agriculture and preparing for an eventual career in the industry. I never had time for orchestra rehearsals or scrimmages, I was either out in the barn or in the pens in the field, or at plant ID practice, livestock judging workouts, or chapter meetings instead. These things even took the place of milestones such as prom and homecoming dances for me in middle/high school, but, it was completely fine to me, because, I knew my hard work would soon pay off as soon as…

    What Are My Long Term Goals

    I have three personal long term SMART goals that I am working on to improve myself professionally and develop my leadership skills. My very first goal is to complete school and get my Master’s degree. I have been using all my free time to study and weekends to work on quizzes. This is achievable by continuing my studies at Western Governors University. With a Masters I will be able to move up within my company or any other company into a management position. I did change my degree plan, so now my graduation date has been set back by a year and I will be graduation in 2018. My second long term goal is to completed my VMWare certifications. I would like to be certified in the data center virtualization certification and have been reviewing videos and free labs provided by VMWare learning about their product. This is very achievable because of the free labs that are available along with the fact that I use the product on a daily basis. It is relevant to my goals because it is a product that many companies are using for their infrastructure. My plan is to be certified by the beginning of 2017. My third goal is to retire by the age of 50. For the past 20 years I have been aggressively saving money in a 401k, and for the last 7 years I have been…
