Decent Essays

Goals are important to have; it helps you to focus your energy and perform to your best abilities.

Before coming to college I knew it was important for me to not only set long term goals but short term goals as well; motivation to keep me going to reach my long term goals. As a result I ended up with 3 short-term goals, and three long-term goals and I feel that me being at Spelman will not only help me to meet these goals but set new ones and I am well aware of that. As with anything in life when you gain new knowledge things in your perspective will change; which is why I am open to my goals changing.

My first short-term goal is to maintain a GPA of 3.5 and higher. There are many reasons for this; one because my parents expect nothing but the best, secondly because I know that I can accomplish it. During our first meeting with Dr. Blash she was explaining her expectations for us as Health Science majors. She posed the question to us “ what GPA do you need to maintain for this semester ?” My immediate response was 3.5 and she looked a little taken aback and replied “ I was gonna say at least a 3.0 but now it’s 3.5.” Although we are stem majors and our workload may be more intense then some we need to push ourselves to knew heights.
