Personal Goals
Like many people, I have goals in life, some are more important that others. I believe that it is important for everyone to have goals, something to look forward to, some ambition in life. One of my goals is to earn my Masters Degree in Human Resources. In addition to my educational goals, I have personal goals. One is to buy a house and reduce my work schedule. I would also like to get in shape and participate more in church. Another one of my goals is to keep learning all my life. I have always enjoyed going to school and learning and find that education is very rewarding. Even if the subject that I am studying is not my favorite, I tried to find an aspect or angle in it that interests me. Now that I am attending the University of Phoenix, I know that I can achieve my career and personal goals because of the flexibility of their program.

My career goal is very important. One day I would like to have my own Human resources consulting business and have an office at home. I am so glad that I decided to attend this school; it is a step forward, a step closer to achieving my life objectives. This school will allow me to continue my education and to keep learning and at the same time keep working full time and spend time with my family. Once I receive my Bachelor of Science in Business Management degree, I will make sure to keep on learning. I plan to continue with The University of Phoenix until I get my Masters in Human Resources.

Once I receive my degree, I will be able to get a better, more challenging job, and in turn, reduce my work schedule. This will allow me to spend more time trying to open my own consulting business.
Once I have my own business, I can concentrate on my other goals, such as buying a house. I want to finish school so that I can spend my time finding a house that I will be able to afford. This is one of the reasons why I want to get my school degree so that I can get a better-paid job. As you can see, my goals are interrelated. I want

    The most important goal for my future is to obtain a satisfying career. Growing up I saw how unhappy my mother was working at a job that she hated just to make enough to provide for our family. I further understood how important a satisfying career was to me when I started working the graveyard shift as a dockworker during community college. I strongly disliked almost everything about the job including the exposure to extreme temperatures, the job’s filthy nature, the long and irregular hours, and most of all because it was unfulfilling. I was miserable with my occupation but I was dependent on it because it was lucrative and provided me with a way to support myself through college. I worked fulltime at this job for two years while also being a fulltime student until I transferred to SIU. The dread that I felt toward my job made me work harder academically because I knew that someday my hard work would amount to a career that I thoroughly…
