Everyone who is trying to succeed in college should set goals to help them excel in all their classes. I have set up four academic goals that are very important for me to achieve over the next few years. The first of the four goals is to get a 3.0 GPA or higher this year. My second goal is to develop better study habits and eliminate my tendency to procrastinate. My third goal is to become a better writer and improve my vocabulary. The fourth and final goal is to receive a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science. The first three goals will help me work toward my forth and most important goal.
My first goal is to get at least a 3.0 GPA. It is very important to for me to keep 3.0 GPA or higher because I plan to transfer to a four year school next year. Being accepted into accepted into a four year school is very competitive so having an impressive GPA is crucial. Acceptance into a four year school gives me the ability to pursue a degree in a field which interests me most. Being part of a larger school would allow me to meet more people, therefore I will have more connections. Having more connections could possibly open many doors in the future. As you can see it is immensely important for me to get a high GPA. In order to achieve this goal, I will strive to work to the best of my ability.
The second goal on my list is to develop better study habits. In the my past high school years I’ve had a laid back attitude toward work that had to be done outside of school. However, I know that my past work habits are not the best approach to college courses considering the large amount of work given by the teachers. In order to achieve this goal I will have to organize my time wisely. I also would have to isolate my self in a setting where I would have zero distractions such as a public library. I need to learn to stay focused on my work and not get easily distracted by tempting games or television. I have to learn to mange my time and not procrastinate. Never put off till

    “Why, Grandmother, what big teeth you have!” Almost anyone would recognize those words addressed to the big bad wolf in the fairy tale” Little Red Riding Hood,” just as most people would also recognize “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo” as the words of the fairy godmother from “Cinderella.” What most people may not realize, however, is that although “Cinderella” and” Little Red Riding Hood” are both fairy tales often read to children as bedtime stories, “Cinderella” is actually a much better fairy tale because of the description of the main character, the kind of conflict involved, and the theme of that particular story.…
