Goals

     Setting goals is important for everyone, even if some people don't have a high expectation of themselves.  Making a goal can motivate a person to do better and they will want to push themselves at what they are trying to achieve.  Goals are what make people better at what they do.  If someone wants to do better at their job or in school, then they will practice and they will eventually get better and reach their goal.
     Some goals that I have for this year are to get good grades in my classes, learn new things, and to have fun this year.  Most people would want decent grades and to learn things, but they might not see fun as a necessity, but I do.  If you don't have an enjoyable year, then you may not have the enthusiasm to learn, so you might not do as well.  Having a good time is important.
      My long-term goals are to first graduate high school, go to college, and then get a stable job.  I would like to go to college somewhere in the state, but I know that may not be a possibility.  I just like the state of California and the people in it.  I'm not sure what career I want to pursue, but I still have time.
