My Goals In College
I was always told "don't plan too far ahead, because something will always come in your way," and I never listened. At a young age I began creating scenarios for my future and attending University of Florida has always been a part of my goals. If I were to be granted admission I would make sure I got the full college experience by working hard to be at the top of my class, joining a club that revolves around my hobbies, and of course, making myself proud. When I begin my journey I will make sure I keep my goals front and center. I know that in order to be one of the best students in my class I will have to be well rounded and not solely rely on my strengths in certain subjects. I have always struggled in history, with that being said, I know that I will take advantage of the resources University of Florida will offer such as the libraries and tutoring options. If I attend this university I will definitely make friends with the Starbucks employees and the librarians because of my constant effort to be on top. My favorite pastime is collecting t-shirts from vacations, community service activities, and various organizations. I would love for my collection to grow even more throughout my college life. While spending time at the university I would like to start a club that creates charity themed designs to print on shirts, each month, and sell them …show more content…
Most students have denied praise from others because of the small voice in the back of their mind telling them that they could have done better but my ultimate goal that I will complete while at University of Florida is to know that I gave all I could and got the desired results. I will have to mentally prepare myself for the work and effort I will have to put forth in order to succeed. This sense of accomplishment is not only from academics but can also emerge from giving myself better health or breaking out of my shell

    As a freshman in high school I knew little about the experience I would have. I still remember the first day very well. I wasn't aware of the distractions that would come with being in this school, but I did know what I wanted. Many diversions take place while trying to keep in mind what is important.I knew I wanted a future that held many opportunities. I believe in goals. I think setting a goal is very important when attaining an education. Goals are also crucial in general.A goal can be as simple as the amount of time spent studying or a grade that needs to be improved. Small goals can be set to achieve much larger ones that prosper over time. I have a goal of completing high school with as many challenging classes I can fit into a schedule.

    The college that I decided to research is called Florida International University or FIU for short. I feel like this college is appropriate for me because many of the amenities available fit my liking. The school has a very large campus and plenty of students to make new friends with, and is located in the heart of Florida. Florida’s weather is similar to Arizona’s, with the exception of humidity, making it feel just like home. There are many extracurricular activities at this college such as sororities and fraternities, a radio station, student council, and much more to keep me busy outside of my studies. This college also has a minimum GPA of 3.4 or greater, allowing me to be surrounded by students who value their education just as much as I do. I think FIU would be a great college for me to consider applying to because it has much of what I look for including size, location, academic and extracurricular programs.…

    My dream for the next four years is to achieve a Physician Assistant degree at St. John’s University. As I transition to college from high school, I understand how there is no one in the world besides myself to help me reach my goal and it will require hard work as well as motivation to reach that point. At times, I feel overwhelmed with the struggles that arise in achieving my degree, but that would not stop me from my main point in coming to this school. I am able to connect my experience to the experience the Nolan’s and my dad went through when it was their time to achieve their dreams. I find it to be very lucky to go to school in New York because I am already one step ahead of my game to fulfill my target since New York is the place where there are many opportunities for everyone.
