goal setting

Project 3: Goal Setting
As stated in the textbook, sometimes goals that we plan do not always go our way, sometimes there is a situation that blocks our success and makes it difficult to reach those goals (pg. 87). This is why I like to begin by making short-term goals that can seem more attainable at the time. My current short-term goals (within two years) have to do with school and baseball. My first goal I want to achieve is to have a successful sophomore season of baseball. It sounds like maybe a dumb goal, but my season this year, will determine how much scholarship money I can get next year when I decide what university I am transferring to. Second, I want to get my certification in bookkeeping. I will have the opportunity to do this during the spring in my last accounting course here at Centralia College. Last, I want to be graduated with my ATA in accounting by the end of spring. Medium ranged goals (two-five years) are where things could possibly change down the road. After college I want to go straight into the work force. I will have 4-year degree in accounting and will be able to find a job as an accountant. My long-term goal of being a CPA (certified public accountant) will be closely in reach after working as an accountant for at least 2000 hours. So my medium range goal is to be done with my 4-year degree and starting to work as an accountant. Finally my long-term goal (beyond five years) is to become the most elite level of an accountant, a CPA. To attain this goal I will have to do two main tasks. Just like I previously stated in my medium range goals, I will have work for 2000 hours under a CPA. And two, I will have to pass all four sections to the CPA exam, which has a higher failing rate than the BAR exam for attorneys. My plan B is to become an accounting teacher. I have always loved being around school, and it would also give me the ability to be able to coach.
