Undergraduate / GATES MILLENNIUM SCHOLARS; LONG& Short term GOALS [2]
Discuss your short and long-term goals. Are some of them related? Which are priorities?
To truly decide on our goals and aspirations in life, we must be concerned with what ignites passion in our lives. Many people work relentlessly to make money to buy material things, however they never have time to create plans and goals for the future. I believe that we should take the time to make plans in order to accomplish our dreams. If we set our mind on something we aspire to do, we can fight to receive and keep it. Some of my long term goals would be to excel in college and receive a bachelor's degree in history, to enroll in law school, and to achieve financial independence. Some of my short term goals would be to develop the leadership and communication skills to assist me in the real world and further increase my knowledge base to make a difference in another person's life.
In order to achieve my short term goals, I try to volunteer in an array of organizations and clubs. I feel by being involved I will have the opportunity to associate with various people as well as pursue leadership roles. In order to achieve my long term goals, I have committed myself to being successful academically. To accomplish my future goal to be a lawyer, I have dedicated a great amount of time in high school studying history and writing. To be successful, I have taken rigorous courses such as AP US History, English honors, AP Psychology, and Global Studies honors. Education is instrumental in attaining many of my long-term goals. It has enhanced my self esteem and gives me pride in what I have accomplished so far. I believe knowledge and my passion for learning will allow me to be successful in achieving my long-term goal to be a lawyer. My goal to become a lawyer and attending college are related because I can't attend law school without a bachelor's degree. I wouldn't qualify for any of the requirements if I don't first acquire a degree.
However, my long term goal of becoming a lawyer is influence by my desire to help people. In today's society, numerous innocent people are sent to jail due to convictions based on circumstantial evidence rather than concrete evidence. As a defense lawyer, I will try to assist people who are innocent and try to keep them from going to prison. As a defense lawyer, I want to learn more about the justice system in America and possibly think of better ways to improve our court system. This is the goal I wish to accomplish and I am tenacious in my pursuit to be a lawyer.
In conclusion, the decisions I make and the goals I set will have a positive effect on my life as well as the people around me. I have my mind set on what I want to do and I refuse to stray from the path I have set for myself.
