Looking Towards The Future
Looking Towards the Future

The purpose of my essay is to describe my personal, professional, and academic goals that I have set in life. Also, I would like to discuss my degree program, and how my goals fit the SMART goal process. Included is my accountability plan to prepare to overcome challenges that I will most likely face during this journey. In addition I will attempt to explain how positive experiences I have endured in life as well as my unique personality can help ensure my future success as an online student. I am currently attending Ashford online university to successfully strive towards achieving my long-term academic goals that I have set for myself.
MY SMART GOALS
As I move forward and venture into my future, I see and recognize the things I need to accomplish, as well as where I hope to be in the next 20 years. A personal goal I have set for myself is to have a successful career as a psychologist or author after the military. In order to accomplish this I must work hard and stay focused on the goals I have set for myself. First I need to achieve my degree in both psychology and sociology within the next five to six years, by gradually progressing through my degree courses and requirements. I have decided to take one course at a time in order to have a realistic goal to progress towards. Upon successful completion of each and every course, I will have progressed three credits closer towards my goal but I must remain consistent. Consistency is an absolute necessity for my career advancement and for further achieving of my goals. In order to accomplish my professional goals, I must strive and stay focused on earning degrees in both sociology and psychology. I know and accept that it will not been easy task to achieve but it will be a rewarding worthwhile accomplishment. “Setting SMART goals” will be important to maintain my health and well-being but also to be realistic in accomplishing
