PROMPT: Considering your lifetime goals, discuss how your current and future academic and extra-curricular activities might help you achieve your goals.
With everything I'm involved in I strive to better myself so that I may be able to achieve and accomplish current and future goals. I challenge myself everyday to work with excellence so that I have the opportunity to make dreams and goals become more than that, a reality.

Academically, I have chosen to take the most rigorous classes my high school offers so that I may be able to learn as much as I can and to be adequately prepared for life as well as college. Because these classes entail an accelerated curriculum, I have improved myself both in and out of the classroom. I have been able to gain much more self responsibility and perseverance through these classes. Since many of my goals reside in the health care field, I believe I am preparing myself well in order to pursue those goals. To start out, I have successfully completed courses such as Principles of Health Science, Medical Terminology, and Anatomy and Physiology.

Now, regarding extracurricular activities I am currently participating in our high school band program. Marching band has pushed myself with self-discipline and made me a better person, more responsible, a better communicator, a better team player, and a better leader over the past four years. For three years, I have competed and served in HOSA, Health Occupation Students of America, competing in extemporaneous health poster making, HOSA Bowl, and this year, in pharmacology at area levels. Also, this year, I am the HOSA president for the Plainview chapter, which has assisted me in improving my leadership and responsibility. Last year, I participated and successfully completed a Certified Nurse Aide course. Taking this course was a great challenge but overcoming personal obstacles benefited me greatly because I am now working as a CNA in an ICU at Covenant Hospital. Working as a nurse aide has taught me many valuable things I will be able to take with me throughout life and my career as a nurse. I am able to have spectacular insight on the medical field because I work with excellent nurses and doctors. When I am with them, I learn information about medicine, patient care, professionalism, and different career opportunities that exist in medicine. I am also involved in a pharmacology class in which I will become a Certified Pharmacy Tech preceding graduation from high school. I enrolled and am taking this class because I strongly felt that it would benefit me greatly when I am in nursing school and when I actually am a nurse. This course has helped me in improving my study habits for competitions, clinicals, and my certification test.

Going to and completing nursing school after high school will be an early step in chasing after becoming a nurse, and later on becoming a nurse anesthetist or nurse practitioner. Also, completing nursing school will prepare me in traveling as a nurse. Furthermore, I would be able to enter research on the mission to finding a cure for cancer.

Being able to derive life skills such as responsibility, self discipline, leadership, and communication from various activities I am involved with will be greatly rewarding as I go throughout life, accomplishing my goals. Without these skills, I don't think I would be able to even come close to reaching lifetime goals.

Thank you in advance!! I was wondering if my essay was effective, stays on the topic, and answers the question well.

Well, I doubt whether the admission panel would take these two lines seriously. Rather I don't find much logic there too. :(

Considering your lifetime goals, discuss how your current and future academic and extra-curricular activities might help you achieve your goals.

This is your task and I think it is better you align your writing with what it expects. Talk about your goals, both short term and long term first. Then tell them how your current and future academic and extra-curricular activities would help you achieve them.
