My Post-Secondary Goals

146 Words1 Page

School has always been my number one priority. I focus hard to achieve the grades I want by making sure I turn all my homework in on time and studying for tests. Sometimes school can be very stressful but I have to push myself to strive for the grades I want. I have learned that before taking a test you need to make sure you study in as many ways possible so when the test day comes you will not have any issues. Another thing that is difficult and for me gets in the way of school is having a job. Some days are harder than others but I still do not let anything get in the way of my education.
My post-secondary goals after high school are to become a Registered Nurse which I have wanted to be ever since I was a little kid.

  • Uninsured Mission Statement

    427 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up in a small, rural community the majority of the population was uninsured and underserved. Access to primary healthcare was limited with most physicians’ offices being close to an hour drive one way. I grew up seeing both of my parents work two jobs and still having to make the decision to put their health on the back burner due to lack of finances or insufficient insurance coverage. This often led to numerous emergency department visits because of the lack of access to a primary care physician who could have provided preventative care. This was not only an issue within my home but throughout the town.

    This semester will be my second at the University of Arizona, at 33 years old with a high school education, it is an understatement to say that it was fairly intimidating to be immersed in an academic community of fresh young minds straight out of high school. My strategy for this new chapter in my life has been to reflect on and use my past experiences for guidance and to have a clear set of goals that I continually draw upon for the motivation to keep pushing forward. The act of writing these goals down is not a new concept, in my previous career it was mandated that several times a year I would meet with a mentor and discuss and write down my personal and professional goals. I have continued this practice in my academic career.

    As a high school senior, I have learned that not everything you hope for in your future will come to pass. I used to pile myself with extra work at school, which is not a bad quality for one to have, but once one does not get enough sleep and spends all their time studying, it becomes unhealthy. I had the mentality that I had to be the best student in class. I realized around my senior year in high school that this was not healthy, so I started to relax and dedicate some time to myself. I made sure to give myself a reward for an hour or two in between studying.

  • My Goals For College

    As for my studies at DCU, it is easy to see how the above-mentioned theories come into play. Amidst the burden of deadlines, stress of assignments and the impending doom of yet another group project, it is difficult to stay motivated for college, or at least that is what my first few weeks at DCU have left me feeling. The college life filled with parties and a typically laid-back lifestyle seems a world away from the massive workload of a full-time degree. Herzberg said that the only way to motivate someone is to give them challenging work in which they can assume responsibility (Leach & Westbrook, 2000). Under Herzberg’s theory, before committing serious motivation to attaining a goal, we must first believe we are capable and secondly consider our “motivators”.
