Setting Goals

As an individual matures, they set goals to help them visualize where they want to be in life. In life, it is important to set realistic goals because it guides us to become who we desire to be. However, when we set unrealistic goals, we become overwhelmed with the trials and never get started. In addition, if a person isn't able to achieve their goal, it makes them feel like they've failed in life, and they will waste their time regretting the chances they didn't take. Also, it is important to set time-sensitive goals in life because it provides focus and initiative. When we are conscious of a time limit for certain goals, it drives us to push harder to achieve our goals. Setting realistic and time-sensitive goals helps us regulate our time and resources accordingly so that we can make the most of our life.
This year I want to manage my time wisely so that I won't end up procrastinating which is a dilemma that I've dealt with for many years. Also, expanding on an idea has always been a challenge to me, and I hope to improve this by working hard and putting plenty of time and effort into my writing. Because English class will require copious amount of participation, I hope to gain confidence and be able to share my thoughts with others willingly. Also, I hope to be involved this year by participating in club activities which will also help me to communicate with others. Lastly, I want to be able to finish this school year with at least an A in every class and to receive a three or higher grading on the AP exam.
There are many goals in life that I want to accomplish such as finishing high school, going to college, and getting a job. Going to college is important to me because it will give me more opportunities in life, and it's also an expectation. However, I am still uncertain what I want to become when I grow up, but I want a career either in the mathematics or medical department. When the right time comes, I hope to have a job that can nourish a family and make me happy. Also, I hope to accomplish all of the goals I have outlined for myself in the future so that I feel satisfied and triumphant.

  1. I wholeheartedly agree with what you said about setting realistc goals. It helps people have a clear perspective of what to do in life, plus there's a better idea on how to achieve the goal. Also, it seems shyness is a common thread between most people in our class(b/c same haha).
