Ten years from now……

When you say ten years from now, there’s a few things that come to mind. My plans and goals in life are very basic. We all know when growing up that we all wanted that fairy tale ending with the house, car, kids, and the dog. Ten years from now I plan to be raising my children, coming out of college with several degrees, and being happy. Having a large family was something I always wanted. Now, I only have one child and she means the everything to me. Therefore, the next ten years we have a lot of growing to do. I am obligated to her education, making sure that she gets it to the best of her ability. I plan to have more children on day soon; I do not know when or with whom. My kids will always know, regardless of anything else, that mother was serious about their education. Raising kids takes more than ten years, but that has always been one of my dreams. I will do everything in my power to make sure that she gets the stability, security, and education needed.

School has always been an important goal in my life. Growing up I always wanted to attend college for at least 10 years to receive a law degree. Now that I’m older I realized that law is not what I want. I am interested in a B.S. and then an M.S. in Sociology, receiving a welding certificate, plus my C.D.L. license. I plan to work hard and finish college with at least my b/s in Sociology. I am a good listener. I like to understand people’s feelings, how they come to a point in their lives; that they need someone to help them cope with their feelings. The welding certificate is a family trait; the union came knocking at my door. The certificate only takes 60 days to receive. The only thing I like about the union is the benefits. I always wanted to own an 18-wheeler. My goal is to one day have my own truck business, that makes deliveries, trash dumpsters and removals. I know that I can complete these goals in less than 10 years. The next 10 years I

    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…

    Why I Want To Be A Racist

    In order to reach this goal, I have to go to college first which I have to pay for by myself. I don't want anything to get in the way of my dreams so I am saving what I can get so that I can go to college and pursue my career. This is also why I am so focused on school so that I can get help with paying for college and to be be prepared for anything that is thrown at me. Because of my mother's death, she never had the chance to finish school and even though I barely know my father, I know that he has never went to college. Although my family is big, only a few have graduated from college with nothing more than an associate's degree. I am going to be the first in my immediate family to get a bachelor's degree. Besides Akron being my school of choice because of the great career path it offer me, I also plan to get closer to my dad who lives in Akron. I refuse to let my struggles hold me back, instead I am allowing them to move me forward and be the woman I am…

    Goal and Register Nurse

    • 971 Words

    My motivation to succeed in life and college starts with my ambition to want more than just a job that pays well, but a career that I love doing. I was in the navy for four years active and I loved it, but I didn’t feel fulfilled in life. Something was missing. So I made the decision to become a reservist and finish my degree and pursue my dream of becoming a Register Nurse. That dream is put on hold for now only because the school that I attended told me that even if I had all the necessary points needed, I still might not be accepted into the nursing program. I had a tough decision to make. Do I stay in this school and keep wasting time or do I go to another school and pursue something else in the medical field? That is when I decided to come to California College San Diego and pursue a degree in Medical Specialties. When I am done with this program, I would have two careers that I would enjoy doing. I would be certified in multiple areas such as: medical assistant, home health aide, pharmacy technician, nursing assistant, and medical billing and coding. Although I want to be a Register Nurse, I will use this as a stepping stool to reach my goal and dream.…

    After graduating from high school I didn’t think about going to college, all I wanted to do was work, hang out with friends and play video games. So at the age of 17, I started working for my uncle at his liquor store for about a year. Throughout that time I attained a great amount of skills; ever where from management to customer service skills. With that being said, I thought about expanding; maybe getting a job elsewhere that will pay me a higher salary for the skills that I have. I applied to Liz Claiborne Inc. in North Bergen, NJ at the age of 18 and got hired as a product coordinator. I was so excited; I was only 18 and about to start making a salary nearly equivalent to that of a college graduate. At this point I thought to myself; “wow! I don’t need to go to college to make money”. I continued working for Liz Claiborne but after three years noticed what I had as a career wasn’t what really interested me, nor something that I wanted for the rest of my life. I was really just doing it for the money. Then, that’s when I realized in order to obtain a career that I always dreamt of, that college was something that I needed to accomplish. I started researching and asking myself questions like “why am I going to college? What am I going to get out of it?” then came up with answers, “if I don’t go to college I most likely won’t have a career of my choice”. If I graduate from college I will have an opportunity of living the American dream; a beautiful family, an enormous house, and nice…

    College Degree Benefits

    In October I finally realized some things in life our important to complete no matter what your age is. The old saying is “Better late than never.” This saying holds true for a college education. As we head towards our golden years I do not want to spend the rest of my life struggling. I want to retire and have some benefits to make life easier in our old age. In the process it will help my kids realize they need to do it as soon as possible, and not wait until later in life like I did. It is fine to tell kids that they need to do this and do that because it will make life easier on them. But they most likely will not listen unless they see proof of it. By obtaining my degree I will be showing them the proof they need to see it is the best way to have a better life. If even just one of my kids go on to college because they saw me do it and saw the benefits I got out of it I will feel much better about myself and what I encouraged them to…
