As Bradley Wiggins, a British cyclist, once said, “The changing of goals helps keep motivation fresh.” Similar to Wiggins, I have been experiencing burnout with regards to the academic goals that I made prior to attending Drexel University. For instance, when I started my academic career at Drexel, I was extremely motivated to attain academic excellence and to join community service-oriented organizations. Having been a student at Drexel University for the past four years, I have been able to accomplish most of those academic goals. As a result, I have been feeling lost as to what my next plan of action should be, which has been challenging my motivation to exceed in academia. Participating in this course has made me realize that I should create new goals, especially career-related goals, because I will soon outgrow these academic goals. In the past, I have tended to treat my career goals with less priority than my academic goals. While my co-op jobs have given me practical work experience, I haven’t appreciated how these experiences gave me awareness about myself. However, discussion about career indecision has convinced me that I should start reflecting on what these co-op experiences have taught me about myself. As a result, this paper will help me to translate my previous work experiences into short-term and long-term career goals. In terms of my short-term conceptual career goals, I believe that further education is necessary for me to …show more content…
While my “dream” law school is the University of Pennsylvania, it would be more realistic for me to attend Temple University’s Beasley School of Law. Since I am from the Philadelphia area, law school presents the opportunity for me to explore another area of the country. However, it is my preference to stay within the local area, because this is where the majority of my family
Every day, in our life we learn new things, from school, friends and by ourselves. Take an example of me, my transformative educational experience had thought me skills that I can use for my rest of my life career. However, Frank Bruni said in his statement that “if a person wants to do something in his life, then he/she can start with little experience”. Throughout the year, I gain more knowledge of the world we live in and become aware of my career.
Both the author of Sommunbulist, Heron Jones and the author of “How not to get into to college” discuss the focus on career will seemingly provide intrinsic happiness. Firstly, Alfie Kohn warns parents and educators about the high and unattainable goals in future career paths students will set for themselves by saying, “Nor would this mode of existence end at college graduation. The horizon never comes any closer. They would have to struggle for the next set of rewards in order to snag the best residencies, the choosiest clerkships, the fast-track positions in the corporate world. Then would follow the most prestigious appointments, partnerships, vice-presidencies, and so on, working harder, nose stuck in the future, ever more frantic… until,
Within every subject at school, reading, writing, and chemistry posed a big challenge for me during my high school years. I excel in most subjects, but these three were the hardest to get. The key solution to my problem was to put my mind to it and do very best that I can. This wasn’t easy and I couldn’t do it by myself, there were several factors that allowed me to overcome the difficulties and excel in all subjects. At the reading I was horrible, I couldn’t understand anything I read “What’s the purpose behind reading?”
Famous American writer Marsha Sinetar once said “Life’s up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want.” Marsha, as well as many other people understand that throughout life, we are constantly going to be setting, striving for, and achieving goals everyday. They may be as simple as waking up on time, or as difficult as becoming the next president of the United States. While working towards any objective, you will receive help, hindrance, and develop different game plans for individual situations.
Focus 2 Assignment – Reflection Upon completing the Focus 2 career assessment program, I am quite impressed at the quality of information it presents. It allowed me to not only look at careers that would fit my personality, but also those that take into consideration the fields I am already interested in. Also, as with any form of self-assessment, there were strengths and weaknesses that I did not expect based on how I feel I live my life currently. Beginning chronologically, the program had me complete two subjective, current measures of my professional career.
It is my firm belief that a continued career in higher education administration will satisfy my drive
Goals, what are goals? Goals, for some, are the driving force that help people get out of bed in the morning. For others, it’s the objective that keeps them focused on attaining something they may initially not have thought possible. For me, my goal to become a law enforcement officer, is what keeps me pushing forward. I push forward through the struggles, the obstacles that are in my way.

and could say anything to support their own actions and behaviors. When these people tell you something, you need to check it out yourself because if you don’t you may be in trouble. I was in an unfortunate situation once in my career when my boss then, gathered some of her loyal members together and instructs them to help look for things that could be used to get me remove from the job. In a matter of days, you should have seen how many things these people came up with. They put these negative things together by lying and forcing junior workers to say things that were not true.
Majority of the FAF conversation was about fieldwork since that is what has posed the most difficulty for me. I live in Los Angeles, California and the competition is very competitive especially with brick and mortar schools. I have sent my portfolio out to over a dozen locations and most of them had said they are already full and won’t have openings until next year. I was fortunate that I have one community mental health organization contact me and hire me no the spot. I have already been volunteering to get to know the programs they offer.
Hello class, Well let me start off by saying English is one of my toughest subjects, my writing process is still in process. I like to read material that catches my attention. If it does not catch my attention I will have a hard time trying to read the material. Also the same with writing.
This clinical experience has really helped me to sharpen my communication skills and realize just how important it is to understand mental health. We are told multiple times in class that mental health issues can be seen on any floor and that is the truth. I’ve seen patients in my older adult clinical on the pulmonary floor suffer from issues that range from anxiety to bipolar disorder and depression. Being able to understand how to approach people that suffer from these types of illnesses, allows us, the nurses, to give the patient the best care that we can. It helps to build a trusting relationship and get to know them on a personal level.
Setting goals as a college student has helped shaped my
Team Work - I 've felt like I work very well in teams, although I do also work well alone, it feels great working alongside people who can help you get a job done efficiently and easily, especially if you grow to like those people which in my past experiences has always been the case; so I 'm very used to working with teams. Maturity - I believe maturity extends far beyond what a lot of people would interpret it as. It accounts for more than just not laughing at immature jokes and being able to be professional when faced with a task. Sensitivity and empathy I think are two important traits which come along with the idea of maturity. Sensitivity, of course, accounts for how one talks to others, I 'm sure we 're all very tired of seeing staff members on other servers that are there just for the purpose of saying they got a moderator position on that server so when it comes to moderating, they 're very lethargic with their work and can be emotionless when monotonously speaking with you.
