My goal in life is to pursue a career I will love participating in and commit to fully.
Hold Us Accountable: Why Health Care Systems Want Employers to Demand Value and High Quality Health Care
When I ask myself what I want to accomplish, I have a tendency to answer the much larger, broader questions. Rather than simply think of a career path I’d like to embark upon, or accolades I’d like to earn, my mind instead wanders to more metaphysical accomplishments. For example, I desire to accomplish things that can only be possible when a group of people are working
Now that my goals are listed out and articulated into a time frame it really helps to put things into perspective of what needs to happen now. For instance I am just starting out in bobcats against hunger as an executive board member. I hope this position will bring out some more leaderships skills within me that will help me later in life, like when I apply for graduate schools and in the real world working hopefully doing my dream job. That is just yet another example of something that will help gear my towards my end goal. If no one ever set goals where would we be today? It is an interesting question and one that makes me thankful that we all set goals daily and achieve them. For example if I did not set a goal to review for a test then come that test I probably wouldn’t pass which would not further me along my aspirations to finish college. So therefore I’m glad I set goals and that everyone else does no matter how big or small they all eventually lead to something
I am interested in the programs and events internship position for the Volunteer Center of Lubbock. The position requires you to organize workshops, youth events, and even a golf tournament to promote volunteering in the area. I connect with this organization because I feel very strongly about volunteering, I think that everyone should donate their time to help others when they can.
My plan is to have this goal achieved by January 2011. According to McKay (n.d.), “Short term goals are reachable in one to three years. Short term goals are often a stop along the way to our long term goals” (Planning for the future para. 3).
What are the ways that you plan to keep yourself informed, relevant, and on the cutting-edge in the events or hospitality industry? (5
I never really thought about college until high school. Family and teachers talked to me about what I wanted to do in life and how college could help me pursue it. Before starting my college portfolio my classmates and I were requested a website called scois.org by Spartanburg High School’s career specialist, Addie Jones. Scois(South Carolina Career Information System) is a career website, to help you plan your career, learn about a career, and provide you with schools and information along with your desired career.Scois has helped me compare college where I plan to attend, which are: The Arts Institute of Charleston, Claflin University, SCAD, and University of North Carolina Greensboro. The website lets me compare the schools, wether it’s

The School of Business and Economics at North Carolina A&T State University hosts an event titled, the Closing Bell Speaker Series. The program brings business professionals that have graduated from A&T, to discuss topics within the business world. Students are provided with the opportunity to discuss future goals and what it takes to achieve personal success. The two individuals I had the opportunity of listening to were Dr. Kelly Richmond Pope and Ms. Natalie Robinson.
I have always dreamed about working in a bookstore. I have been an avid reader since a very early age and I have devoted much of my academic career to analyzing texts. As a rising Junior at Tufts University, I am working toward a major in Political Science and a minor in English Literature. Outside of the classroom, I work as an editor at large for Tufts Zamboni, as a board member of the Cannon literary journal, and, just this semester, I co-founded an arts and literature magazine by the name of Tufts Portfolio. Since 2014, I have worked in some way in the service industry, accommodating customers and meticulously executing tasks even as mundane as scanning in boxes. Some call it OCD, others call it good work ethic.
The career fair was one of the most unique experiences I have had. There were hundreds of companies lined up in the ARC. Before I went to the fair, I had to take several steps to prepare myself. Before I came to campus, I packed my suit. I had just bought a new one, since my old one was too small. A couple days before the career fair, I went to the bookstore to buy a padfolio and resume paper. These two things are necessary for everyone that goes to the career fair. After I collected my materials, I did research on the companies that I wanted to talk to. Since I am a freshman, I focused on companies that were close to me and were offering job shadow opportunities. These steps set me up for success at my first career fair.
My objective is to find an opportunity to display my skills and knowledge in a challenging field where I can grow as a person and as a professional.
The goals are a personal investment of my time, commitment, and effort in planning for my future. My goals represent a clear path with a timeframe to achieve my goals, such as completing my bachelor’s degree, attending workshops for advancing my technological skills, and obtaining a higher level position in my current workplace or finding new employment.
