This
new chapter is about time management and is one of the most powerful chapters
in the text. For this week's discussion, share one of your lifetime goals and
describe the time management techniques you will use to accomplish this goal.
If there are obstacles in the way, how will you deal with them?
For your second post, read another student's post and make a comment about it. Sometimes it is helpful to read about other students' goals and how they are managing to accomplish them. The first post can be longer and the second one can be shorter.
I will share with you one of my lifetime goals and how I used the ideas in this chapter to accomplish it. My lifetime goal was to write a book on how to be successful in college because I struggled as a young college student and learned how to be successful. Then I taught the topic for 30 years. I had some time off from work and set as my goal to write the text. I found myself distracted by things around the home. I would get up in the morning and exercise, make myself a nice breakfast, read the paper and do a few household chores. Soon the day was gone and I had not accomplished my goal. I decided to work on my goal first and then reward myself with exercise and other things that I wanted to do. It was just a matter of rearranging my tasks. I still found it difficult to get started. I used the idea of a leading task. I would just sit at the computer, fill my head with ideas and start to write. Then I would refine the writing the next day. Within 6 months I had the first draft of the text written. Today it is used in about 60 colleges across the country. This new edition of College and Career Success online is my latest project.
Ok, I have shared one of my goals and how I accomplished it. Now it is your turn. Tell about something you accomplished in the past or something you hope to accomplish in the future. See if you can use some of the time management ideas in the text. Then read another student's comment and add your comments, questions or add your encouragement.

One of my main goals in life is to accomplish my bachelors degree in electrical engineering and have a very successful career after graduation. My time management techniques I was, still and will be using to accomplish this goal of mine is to be always in time and always have my work done early and professionally. I will also work very hard to get the best experience out of myself trying to reach my goal and trying to enjoy the way to reaching my goals as much as possible in order to keep myself motivated. If I ever face obstacles like I had before, I will always turn to my friends and get back to the right track.
ReplyDeleteMarln, your goal is an awesome choice and engineering is very important to the community as well as an amazing career to become successful with. I like how you're so motivated to accomplish this goal and that's an important step you must take to continue this track. It seems you are on the right track, knowing that you need to get your work done early, because it's important not to procrastinate with a rigorous profession like engineering. Best of luck to you!
DeleteHi Marlin
DeleteI like your choice also I like your major. It's so important to be an engineer in the community. I recommend to show the people that you worked so hard until you get the degree, and studied so hard to do well in tests and exams. you should be proud of yourself. Also, your parents should be proud of their son. Keep it up, and try hard to go over everything that could make you down.
Hello everyone. One of my main lifetime goals is to obtain a masters in Nursing and get a license to be a Nurse practitioner. With that I am thinking about specializing in a trauma intensive care unit. For those of you who know what a trauma unit and an ICU looks like, only imagine the two of them combined!! Sounds crazy but that's what I strive for everyday. I am very confident in myself to achieve this goal, yet it will take many steps and tasks to accomplish it. I manage my time by getting my homework done early and at least on time because this is a step to being professional. You can't be late to work, especially when it's time to handle to needs of a patient. Second, I value my time into working at the hospital, getting the best experience I can get. I love working with staff and patients, and learning all kinds of new things. I am always spending my time and resources trying to find a better way to make my career happen. I will start off with a two year nursing program that will give me my bachelors degree in nursing. Following that, I will probably do the masters and the rest online while I am working so that I can flex my schedule to work study, and possible even have a family around then. Staying focused and positive, and living by the hour is what I am doing to manage my life.

DeleteHello Brandon,
DeleteAfter reading your blog, it seems like you are on the right path in becoming a Nurse Practitioner. Seeing that you are a confident person you will be able to strive and achieve your goals in life. Thank you for sharing your lifetime goal and I hope you will continue to stay focused and positive through college and in life. Good luck to you!

DeleteHi Brandon,
DeleteWhen I read your paragraph, I like your major about getting a masters in nursing. In the past, I thought about this major, but I change it because I don't like to work in the hospitals and I can't see the patients, blood or injections, so I move to another major, but this major has a good career and a good future.You will get a very good future and my advice to you is keep going at this major and get a good degrees and good luck.
I really like how you have accomplished one of your big goals already, it is very motivating. Focusing all your time and energy is one of the most important tools to be successful in anything in life. Putting everything aside and focus on that one important thing you are willing to achieve will forsure allow you to reach your goals in the best way possible. It is very difficult and stressing as I heard to work full-time and go to college, but it is great to know that your are doing very well and successful in what your are doing.
DeleteHello Everyone,
ReplyDeleteOne of my lifetime goals is to purchase a home with my husband. For me to accomplish this goal, I started going to school and working towards my bachelors degree in child development. This will make me have a better career in life and be able to be financially stable and afford a loving home for my family. I know that having this goal makes me focused, determined and motivated in achieving it. Taking the first step of going to school was the hardest for me, since I have not been in school for more than 10 years. Now that I have, I know I can do it and reach any of my goals in life. I feel like I am unstoppable and I am on the right path to success.
Kristina, your goal is one that many people have including myself. I think it makes us feel a state of accomplishment. In order for us to accomplish this goal we need to have the financial means and obtaining a college degree will help us in accomplishing this goal. Your attitude helps to motivate me. It is refreshing to come across someone who is as positive as you are.
DeleteMy lifetime goal is to have a successful job and to find what kind of job I will love. I only just recently decided on a major, but not into detail, which involves engineering. The way I want to accomplish getting a successful job is to first get the education it requires and to gain work experience. As a girl of 19-years-old, I find it difficult to get my first job because the people won't hire me for lack of experience. So far the school part is good, but the job part is a little discouraging. I am also someone who hates giving up based on what other people think, so I know that I can get a job as long as I don't give up.
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah!
DeleteEngineering is a great field to get into! I know that it might seem discouraging to find a job because of all the unemployment rates, but don't let that stop you. Once you can believe it, you can achieve it. Every single person who got to where they are today is from starting from the bottom and working your way up. We all have to start from somewhere. I do hope you find enough passion to pursue your dream and accomplish that job you have always wanted.
Hi everyone, One of my important lifetime goal is to be successful in college and graduate to get a good career in the future. I'm managing my time to accomplish this goal by studying hard all the time, get a good degrees, and doing the right things in the right place. For example, during the day I'm going to college, listening to the teacher, doing my homework, and taking a rest. Also, I'm trying to do all my best to accomplish this goal and be patient, trust on myself to do a better things, and don't waste my time and doing a lot of things that are useful for me in the future. In addition, the school is very important thing that is help me to achieve my goal and get a career. Also, it is better than get a job without getting any certificate, so the school is a good thing foe human to attend it. Also, I'm thinking positive all the time and never think that I'm going to fail one day or loss control on myself,so the right think is better to get a good idea and the right decision.On the other hand, I'm always ambitious, so I manage my time wisely during my day until I will reach to the goal that I want it to achieve it. Also, I'm always follow my plan and don't follow my friends plans because maybe they are wrong, but I'm always listing to the advice even from my family or my friend and do the thing that is useful for me and better for me.I hope that I will keep follow all of these steps to get a good result at the end and reach to my goal about graduation and get a good career in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy, I liked the way you organize your time between home, homework, and get some rest. I encourage you to continue to do so because I think that anyone of us can not be successful unless his time systems and put in front of goal and achieved step by step and certainly will not succeed. Wishing you success in your life.
DeleteHi Sandy,
DeleteWhen I read your lifetime goals, I saw that we share the same idea. Both of us want to do something make us proud of ourselves; we know that there is nothing come easily. I really like your goals in your life, and I've seen that you so close to my thinking which is be successful in life and get good job. I wish you all the best and hopefully you will accomplish your goal and become successful.
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteThe most important goal that I want to accomplish it's to finish my education because it is so important to me to finish my education and get the degree. This would be the first goal that I want to accomplish because after I graduate, I will get good job and position. Also, my life will change because my income will change too. So everything depends on the education and how strong and patient you are. Also, I have another goals to accomplish , but I will accomplish them step by step after I manage my time.
Hello Fadi,
DeleteI agree with you about what you said. It is so hard to live in this country without having a degree and a job that better fits you and fits your needs, without a degree, we are nothing and we won't be, we will live on temporary job, moving from a job to another with getting paid well or even being happy with it. I hope all the young people reach their goals and become what they want to be in the future.
Hello Fadi,
DeleteI absolutely agree with you about what you said, it is really important to get a degree and find a good job because it is hard here to work in a field that you are interested in because they say love what you do so you can be successful in life. I wish you the best of luck and hope you accomplish what you wish.

The harder you work towards your goal the better and for sure on day you will accomplish all these goals step by step and I like how you mentioned that education is so important to make a better person out of everyone of us. Keep going and always stay motivated and you will accomplish all these goals one after the other.
Hello,
ReplyDeleteIn the past when I was in my country, I achieved a small part of my dream in the study. Then I got married and gave birth to my children, and now I am here in America I am trying with all my best to complete my studies, which I could not be completed in my country, and actually attended one of the schools and recovered some of the information studied in the past , I wanted that the most powerful English language so that I can rely on myself, and then I went to college and studied them and I will continue in that . I am by nature know that the teaming of my time on a regular basis, especially between my family and the home of my work , and finish my school on time so I do not doubt I will I can teaming my time if I graduated domain, which has specialized him and I work in the same field to realize myself and my ambition, and no doubt that each and every one of us has the goals of many in his life, but achievable depends on the person who knows how to run of his time until he can achieve his goal step by step and on a regular basis.
Hi Muntaha, I like the way that you describe your lifetime goal because it's not easy to leave your country without achieving your dream, but I think you got your second chance and you still have the whole life in front of you. I know it will not be easy and needs a lot of time, but when you put something in your mind and you know you can do it, the door will open to you and you will find everything easy and simple but it asks you to be patient and give yourself more time to make it real.
DeleteMy lifetime goal is to do my something makes me a proud of myself and the best way to do that is by studying hard and try my best because what I want from this life is to help people, understand them to make them happy, and I want to be a successful person and have a good job, and this will not come easily, it requests time, an effort and also money to achieve it. Also, it requires me to do it at the same time and don't do it late or next day because that will make me late to.
ReplyDeleteHi Ban
DeleteWhen I read your lifetime goals, I saw that we share the same idea. Both of us want to do something make us proud of ourselves We know that there is nothing come easily, and we will see a lot of difficulties in our life but if we want to reach our goal we must to try more, study hard, and do the best to achieve our goal. I like your way in achieving your goal. I hope you reach that goal to help people and make them happy by understanding them and meet their need and also find a good job.
Hello Ban! I really think that doing something that you like is a great goal to have. If you have a job that you like you will be motivated to to better and better each time and that will give you the satisfaction that you seek, so while figuring out what you wan't to do make you it is something that you like in order to accomplish this goal.

ReplyDeleteHello class,
ReplyDeleteMy immediate goal is to finish my prerequisites for the nursing program and to obtain a degree in nursing. My goal in the nursing field is to be a labor and delivery nurse. I was in the Navy where I had the opportunity to work on the labor and delivery ward. In my opinion, there is nothing more rewarding than to help bring life into the world. Your face is one of the first faces a baby sees upon entering this world and the feeling is indescribable. Nursing school is very competitive so making sure I do well in all my classes is essential and vital for my success. I love to learn so after I get my degree in nursing I will probably pursue a master’s degree and if I have the time and resources maybe even get a doctorate degree. The feeling of self accomplishment is one of the greatest feelings in the world. Self accomplishment boost your self esteem and it motivates you to accomplish your goals. I believe that I can accomplish these goals and I will accomplish them!!
Hi Jimmine,
DeleteI hope you accomplish your goal and be successful. Good luck on your career. My sister is majoring in nursing but she haven't taking classes and she haven't attended the nursing program yet. I think it is a very good career and they get paid well, just like a physician. GOOD LUCK!
Hello Jimmine,
DeleteI admire your goal and feel that you will greatly benefit from reaching this goal. I have somewhat of a similar goal as I am finishing up my prerequisites so I may transfer as a biology major. The nursing field is such a rewarding career and like you said very competitive.at times the courses you take may seem difficult, stressful and even unpassable but keep your head up and try your absolute best and you will succeed. I wish you the absolute best of luck to make this goal a reality for yourself, so remember relax and study hard.
Hi everyone
ReplyDeleteOne of the most important lifetime goals that I want to accomplish in my life is to become successful in the study first and work second. The first step to reach my goal is to finish my education by studying hard, get good grades, and trying all my best for that. I know I will face a lot of difficulties in my life, but if you want to reach to my goal, I must to challenge all of these obstacles and try more and more to achieve what i want. This is the only way to reach the success and get a better job in this life.
Hi Eva Patros
DeleteI really like your goals in your life, and I've seen that you so close to my thinking which is be successful in life and get good job. I agree with what you wrote above, and I think to be successful in life, we should be positive and keep studying and working hard until we get the great results, but to remember, we should be patient so we can get what we want. I hope that you accomplish your goals as soon as possible, and get your degree.
Hi Everyone
ReplyDeleteMy career goals right now are to find a place where I can make the best use of my skills and knowledge that I have learned. And also, I will try to take on projects and internships that are related to what I've been working on. My long term career goal is to be able to work in a field that I am interested in and love. Also, I always try to be positive and motivated, so I can go over everything bad that faces me in life. that's my goal and I wish that I can accomplish it.
You are on the right path with finding out what you are interested in and love while staying positive and motivated. Hopefully this course will help you to find a major and career that is interesting for you.
DeleteHello everyone,
ReplyDeleteMy lifetime goal is to be an electrical engineer. The obstacles I would face is having trouble understanding mathematics. Math is the hardest subject for me and I do not know how to begin liking math. I know tutoring will help me understand math easily or I can watch videos on youtube like I always do. I watch videos for any subject or chapter that I do not get. Specially word problems, never get how to solve them. I would manage my time and give my time and effort to my education and school grade.
I am reading your blog and I saw that you mention mathematics is the obstacle you will face in completing the electrical engineering degree. There is one site I normally look at to learn mathematics which is Khan academy and it is very good. The tutorial has help me in improving my grades and practicing mathematics is also helpful. There are also books at Barnes and Noble that have specialize subject areas you may need to perfect. Do not think mathematics will be an obstacle just put forward the effort in practicing and eventually you will accomplish your goal.
DeleteHello everyone,
ReplyDeleteMy lifetime goal is to be a marriage and family counselor/therapist. Growing up, I had always wanted to become a nurse. That was my dream, and up until collage I realized that being a nurse was just not for me. I have a passion for helping people, and I have always knew I wanted a career that not only would I love, but rewarding at the same time. In order to get to my lifetime goal, I have to acquire good time-management techniques. The most efficient technique that I can use to achieve my goal is to break it up into smaller steps and make deadlines for myself. The deadlines will help me get to my goal in a timely matter. Any obstacles that I might go through I will work around them because it is that important to me. This will help me accomplish my lifetime goal.
I agree, I have to focus on time management as well and also being consistent. I have a hard time with starting and stopping and in doing that it will take me forever if I ever reached my goal. I want to have the same career as you and I want to own my own practice so I have to work really hard to obtain that goal. I just keep reminding myself that nothing comes easy.
DeleteMy goal is to become a civil engineer. The obstacles I face is working a fulltime job and getting the classes I need to accomplish that goal. Since my job involve moving from one geographical location to another it can be difficult finding the right school to continue my degree. I will not let the obstacles hinder me from achieving my goal. The step I will take to combat this obstacle is to schedule an appointment to meet a counselor to get a degree plan. The degree will give me an idea of the classes I need to need. Also I will research the different accreditation bodies of different schools to see what classes can be transferred. I know that I have to do extra studying when I start classes in Mathematics, Chemistry and Physics but that will not be a deterrent. I have been able to find tutoring online for the above mention subjects areas so that will not be much of a challenge after all.
ReplyDeleteI really respect your motivation ad determination to seeing your career path through! I know civil engineering is an extremely rigorous and competitive field and I feel like you need the type of dedication that you're exemplifying in order to achieve and succeed in it! Being someone who is completely deterred from anything science and math related I can greatly appreciate the rigor of the courses you have to take and how much work goes into them.
DeleteMy life time goal for me it to own my home with 2 cars paid off. A family car and my car. The obstacles with this is having enough money to afford a home in San Diego. And I want a nice home 4 bedroom 3 bathroom front and backyard and garage. The problem with this is money and credit. I want my family to be good off and I want my kids to have their room to come home to after they go off to college. I have to be making a minimum of 100,000 a year to be able to afford the home I want. I need to be a better saver and more focused which is hard for me to do at time. I also need to learn what goes into making this kind of money and what all goes into building my credit and buying a house. So outside of money learning the ends and out is another obstacle in the way for me aLong with finishing school because there is no way I will be making that kind of money with no one education.
ReplyDeleteHi Acrawl
DeleteI can relate to you on the goal of purchasing patrimonies , like a house. Today's labor world is very competitive and the only way to be successful on that area is to stay competent. To acomplish that money and time managments are essential skills to face the obstacles of the labor world.
Hello Acrawl,
DeleteAfter reading your lifetime goal summary I can defiantly relate with you since these are goal that i have also had since I was young. A owning a property that can eventually be a home to your family is a great accomplishment. Also I could understand when you say that a job with gross wage of 100k a year is the minimum requirement for a better stable life. Keep up your hard dedication and be successful in all your life goals.
My main lifetime goals is to finish all of my required schooling so I may become a pediatrician and be able to help children who face similar medical hardships that I faced. I plan on achieving this goal by further developing and creating new time management techniques. I manage my time by completing bigger and more important assignments in advance then focus on smaller assignments so I don’t stress on the assignments worth the most points. I also manage my time by creating weekly schedules and if needed daily schedules to increase my efficiency. I have been active in my road to achieve this goal by finishing up my G.E courses and prerequisites so I can transfer soon and obtain my bachelor’s degree in biology. Getting this far has Taken a tremendous amount of studying and prioritizing my life but it has been very beneficial to my education and extracurricular. After obtaining my B.S. I will be studying for my entrance test for med school followed by applying. I know that this goal is extremely high and demanding due to its competiveness but I know I will achieve it as long as I keep pushing forward and don’t doubt myself.
ReplyDeleteYou are on your way to success by prioritizing your time, staying persistent and believing in yourself. Keep going!
DeleteMy lifetime goals are a lot, the most important life goal that I have is to see my daughters happy and do the best I can to see them at the highest levels. Also, I am willing to improve my language which is the most important goal, without improving my language skills, I wouldn't be anything in this life. I use a lot of management techniques to accomplish this goal, one of these techniques is I translate everything I don't understand to my language so I can learn new words, I don't waste time when I have to study, I study first before anything I need to do. I really have obstacles because married person's life is not like single's life, I have more responsibilities and over all that, I go to college to learn. Above all these obstacles, I am doing my best and I won't give up.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what you are saying since I have one daughter and 3 granddaughters. It is so important to help our daughters to be successful in life. You have already started doing that by learning English and continuing your own education. Your daughters will follow in your footsteps. Keep going!
DeleteMy life time goals are a lot, one of them is to be successful and take care of my family, I always work to make them happy and now I expect to do more. Also, I want to improve my language skills and be influent in English, I know its kind of hard to do that especially in this age, but I feel that I would accomplish a lot if I was able to speak up and do better. I manage my time by doing all the tasks before two weeks of the due date so I can do something else in my resting time. I don't like to postpone anything because I am organized and I like to follow the words that say work hard and play later. I like to learn and have good grades, this is make me happy and able to give more and more.
ReplyDeleteI really like your post and how much you are motivated, I would say if you have a goal and really you want to accomplish this goal the age would not be matter, you will learn the language and become fluent in english, I wish you all the best and hopefully you will accomplish your goal and become successful.
DeleteHi Najib,
DeleteFamily is the most important thing in life. I am happy that one of your goals in life is to make your family happy and do more for them. Improving your language skills is also a very important goal to set for yourself. Becoming fluent in another language is difficult but not impossible. In time, you will see that it is the best thing you can do for yourself. Also, you are right about procrastination. Let school and work come first. You will be more successful this way. I hope you accomplish all of your goals and I wish you the best of luck.
Great life time goal Acrawl. I would say we have very similar life goals, that's what I want for my future too. I would be nice to buy a nice house in san Diego and send my kids to good school and colleges. I want my life to be flexible and offer a lot to my family. that's why I'm focusing on school now and its my top priorities so that in the future I can have a good income.
ReplyDeleteMy life time goal is to graduate from SDSU with my bachelor’s degree in accounting, after that I plan to get my CPA, so that I can have a better job opportunity. After graduating I want to find a really good job so that I can be more flexible and maybe start my own business. I would love to open my own business one day it’s a goal that I really want to accomplish. Hopefully with hard work and motivation I can accomplish these goals in the future.
ReplyDeleteHi mariam I really like your post and in my opinion you should go for it and achieve all your goals as long as you want to do something you can do it and good luck!
DeleteMy lifetime goal is to become a plastic surgeon. I have always been fascinated by the work and it is something I wish to achieve as my career in the future. I want to help others feel better about their bodies. Of course, this is no easy career and it is going to take a lot of time and hard work to achieve. The only way I can succeed in achieving this goal would have to be by using time management techniques. I put school before my social life. I get my work done first and hang out with friends and family after. I also make a schedule for myself everyday. This helps me complete everything I want to do. I always follow my schedule and I never cram things in one day. I take things slowly and manage to complete school work on time. If anything ever comes up and my day doesn't go as planned, (which has happened many times) I change my schedule around and make it work. Time management and hard work will help me achieve my goals along the road to becoming a surgeon.
ReplyDeleteYour time management is key to accomplishing your goals. It is great that you are using a schedule and do your work a little at a time. You also have a good understanding of priorities. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteOne of my main life goals is to buy a house and securing that patrimony. To accomplish that I need a stable job to afford that house, and for make that happen I need at least a college degree for the purpose of the future job requierements and to stay competent in the future labor world, which requieres a personal effort to go throughout college and its challenges , like time and money management.To acomplish all I metioned previously I need to be inteligent about how I spent my money and time in my career life. I use schedules and to do lists to manage my time efficiently and I prioritize expenditures and use budgets to use my money efficiently. If you want to be successful on your career you should prioritize it .
ReplyDeleteI find your goal to be very admirable. To own your own home, is a huge achievement in this day and age. The use of a budget and a list of priorities is a great way to make that happen. Also, don't be afraid to try and find out what it would cost to live in the area that you want to live in. This would allow for you to figure out, how much you would need to save in order to buy that house.
DeleteHello Everyone,
ReplyDeleteI will share with you one my lifetime goals and how this chapter will help to accomplish it. One of my lifetime goals is to purchase a home by the end of this year and propose to my girlfriend. Another of my lifetime goals is to obtain a masters degree in Public Administration. At first for me to accomplish this goal was a dream but as I complete my courses every semester I see my future closer. I started going to school and working towards my bachelor’s degree in Public administration a year ago when I enrolled in Cuyamaca College. I want to be a director for a public agency, and in order to accomplish this I need to avoid procrastination and always stay focused.
With each course that you complete, you are one step closer to achieving your goal. Just keep focused and complete your work each day and you will surely reach your goal. It is also important to learn about money management and begin saving some money to buy that house. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteMy lifetime goal was to be an engineer because I dreamed about it and I’d like to achieve it. Then I got a certificate in engineering when I was in Iraq but when I left my country I couldn’t work here only if I study it all over again. I decided to come to collee and study to make my dream come true. I found myself distracted by things such as work. I would get up in the morning and go to college after getting aplenty of time to sleep, make myself a cup of coffee and head to college. After that I get home and eat or sometimes I go to the gym and then come home. I decided to work on my goal first and then reward myself with hanging out with my friends. It was just a matter of time.
ReplyDeleteHi salah I liked your post and I think you should go for it and never give up because you can do it, goodluck!
DeleteMy biggest lifetime goal is to be stable and successful in my life. I want to be a medical social worker and also be able to help when it comes to counseling. This all stems from the hard life I've lived. In order to achieve this, I will need to put together a plan that has a specific time frame. I cannot allow for procrastination to occur and deter me from making this happen. I want to have stability in my future and for my future children.
ReplyDeleteHi Maria I think that your lifetime goals are great and I really think that you will reach them with the positive attitude and the motivation you have set for yourself. Goodluck!
DeleteMy lifetime goal was to be a teacher I dreamed about it and I’d like to achieve it. I didn’t have a chance to go to school in my country because it wasn’t safe so when I came here to the United States of America I decided to study and achieve my dream about being a teacher. The reason I want to be a teacher is that I like to teach little kids and educate them plus I love children. I also go to Madison elementary school and volunteer there to build my experience and have more information about teaching. Hopefully I will be able to achieve my goal.
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you have taken advantage of the opportunity to go to school here. Your love of children will help you to accomplish your goal of becoming a teacher. It is also great that you are volunteering and gaining experience along the way. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteI would have to say that my biggest or most imporant lifetime goal is getting a degree, that is in Biology. This has been my goal since I started thinking about my future and how I really wanted to spend my life doing something that I love with a degree that would take me there. I plan on accomplishing this goal by always remembering what is most important and always putting school before the fun. I will try to keep myself motivated by always keeping in my mind that it will all be worth it soon.
ReplyDeleteYou are on the way to success here with remembering what is most important and putting school first. Keep thinking about your future goals to stay motivated. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteAshley that is very impressive. Biology is difficult, but I'm sure you will be able to accomplish this as long as you keep focused, which is what it seems like you are doing already. Keep up the good work and good luck.
DeleteOne of my lifetime goals is to live in a house or apartment, depending on where I am in life and my age, my the beach. I have always dreamed about living closer to the beach since I was little, growing up in San Diego does that to you. Living by the coast is more expensive than practically anywhere else so I will need to budget for it. I need to stay focused in not only my school work but my career path as well. I need to maintain a good paying job while I am in school to help prepare me with skills that I will need for when I graduate college and can hopefully find a career more suited to my studies. I know that I won't be able to have the kind of lifestyle I want while living by the beach if I don't have a good paying job so this also helps me stay motivated in school.
ReplyDeleteContinuing your education will help you get to your goal.Good job for staying focused on your career path and graduating school. There will be nothing more satisfying than seeing your hard work payoff. Good luck!
DeleteHello, one of my important lifetime goals is to graduate from college and have a good career in the future. I am working very hard to be successful in college and I am putting a lot of efforts on my classes to pass them with high grades. I am working very hard to finish all the required classes so I can graduate from college and continue my education in university to accomplish what I have been working hard for. And have a good career in the future and be proud of myself. I always think positive and when there are obstacles in my way I always remind myself that I can do this and take one step forward. .I hopes that I will keep following all these steps to get a good result at the end and reach my goals.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally, go head with the plan that you have and keep trying to reach your goal because there is nothing worth more than having your goal in your hands.
DeleteHi, One of my lifetime goal is to be a good business women or successful women in any business job that I can ever start with. I spend the most of my life studying, working as a volunteer, taking courses to improve my language, talent, character that helps me to be a good mom and a good one to be always proud of. I still have hope to finish college and get good grades with a certificate that I can use to find a good job that matches with what I gained from all kind of experience. I keep trying to motivate myself to achieve my goal instead of the many obstacles that I have in my life.
ReplyDeleteYou are taking the right steps toward becoming a successful business woman. It is great that you are not letting the obstacles stand in your way. Just keep focusing on your future goals and you will surely accomplish them. Best wishes for the future.

ReplyDeleteEvery day that you complete your homework and finish a class, you are one step closer to accomplishing your goal. Keep thinking positively and working step by step to complete your goal. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteI have a lot of goals in life and one of them is to finish college and transfer to university. I want to accomplish this goal because I know without a degree you can't go very far in life. I got back to college and now I feel so good that I am back and I keep on motivating myself to go even further and transfer. I make sure that I am always on time and that I do my work and try to understand the classes I am taking and make the best out of it. I have learned that education is so important and it has to come first all the time. No matter how hard it could get we still have to find a way to make it happen and commit to achieve our goals.
ReplyDeleteI have made sure that I finish college and accomplish my goal by going to university and this class is helping me a lot so far.
Hi Yazen, keep working hard and good luck in college.
DeleteYou are on your way to being successful by completing your work on time and making the best of your education. Putting education first will help you to be successful and achieve your goals. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteOne of my lifetime goals is to graduate college with a bachelor's degree in a career that I am not sure on. I want to have a job that is fun and pays very well. I think I want to do something in sports but I do not know exactly what I want to do with my career. Time management techniques I will use include paying attention in class and studying a lot to prepare for the tests. I will make sure to attend every class so I do not fall behind in my work. I will try my hardest to complete all the homework because that is the biggest thing when you are trying to pass a class. The obstacles that I will deal with is when the work is really hard and I do not know how to do it. I will deal with this by asking for help with tutors and my teachers. Tutors help a lot and I will take advantage of their support. Another obstacle is that if their is too much work or that if I do not have time to finish something. I will deal with this by doing my work early so I do not have to deal with time management problems.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great ideas for completing your education. Each day that you attend class and complete your work brings you a step closer to your goal. Getting help from tutors is also a great idea. Keep going and you will surely be successful.
DeleteOne of my lifetime goals I would like to accomplish would be to purchase a home. Having a growing family and seeing how rent is sometimes so much more expensive, I am coming to realize I want my family to have a stable home. I do not find anything wrong with renting but after extensive research, I have come to find out that rent can be more expensive than owning. In order to complete this goal,I need to start saving money and better my credit. To start saving I will start a budget and then make a list of where money goes to. Then I will cut off any unnecessary expenses. Some obstacles I may have would be the cost of living here in San Diego, in addition to me not working at the moment. In order to overcome these obstacles I will look for a part-time job to help my husband and as previously said, cut any unnecessary cost.
ReplyDeleteThat's rad! My goals include a lot of the same things. I also need to start budgeting to help my financial stability. Keep working hard hope everything works out for you!
DeleteHello Cynthia! i have a lot of respect for your goals as they are also important goals i would love to achieve during my life when i am a bit older. I hope everything goes very well and as planned for you.
Deleteshare one of your lifetime goals and describe the time management techniques you will use to accomplish this goal. If there are obstacles in the way, how will you deal with them?
ReplyDeleteMy goal is to finish my education and get a bachelor degree in business and find better job that I will enjoy it and also pay a good salary; I can manage my time by making schedule and give time for family and friends and also some time for study that’s help to accomplish my education goal. If I face some obstacles in my way, I will find a better solution to get over it.
You have some great ideas for accomplishing your goals including making a schedule and being determined to find solutions to any obstacles you may face. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteOne of my main goals in life is to find a career that I really love that will also provide me with enough income and freedom for family and social life. I plan to achieve this by working hard in school and work like I have been. I think in the world we live in now it is crucial to have some sort of college degree to make what you would really like to most times. Also having a steady job even at a younger age will look much better for career opportunities down the road as well as possibly progressing into further positions at the job you already have. As long as I stay working hard and doing my best i'm optimistic the future will turn out how I hope.
ReplyDeleteHi todd! keep working hard and stay optimistic. Having a steady job at a young age for sure makes you a different person compared to the rest.
DeleteTodd I think that's a great lifetime goal to have and as long as you continue that passion to reach your goals I think you'll be successful. I'm glad you're doing well in school keep it up!
DeleteOne of my lifetime goals it to purchase a house somewhere deep in the woods. I plan to get a well paying job, that fits my personality the best and allows me to use my personal opinion. A steady paying job and saving over time can make this goal achievable, along with owning a race car and vacation homes all around the world. Getting a house deep in the woods allows me to have peace away from the city. Any house would be a good lifetime achievement, and I can't wait till the day I purchase a house.
ReplyDeleteKeep your goals in mind and work steadily toward accomplishing them and you will have that house in the woods. Each day you attend class and complete your homework takes you a step closer to your goal. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteOne of my main lifetime goals is to be as successful as I can in my career. The time management skills I'll use to accomplish my goals are to divide the tasks I need to do in order to do well in school and at work. I'll put my school and work before all leisure items and activities. I think my biggest obstacle is how much experience jobs require now days and how much experience and years need to be put in for as far as I want to make it. Procrastination is another big obstacle of mine, but I've been trying my best to work on it and organize my time.
ReplyDeleteLearning to manage your time and deal with procrastination will take you far in accomplishing your goals. You can do some volunteer work along the way to get some experience. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteOne of my lifetime goals is to graduate college with a bachelors degree in Athletic Training and build a stable career working with athletes or in the sport industry. The time management skills i will use to accomplish my goals are by breaking down my whole day step by step and by listing everything i need to get accomplished that day. Using a planner will help me keep control and organization over my time management. My biggest obstacle will surely be procrastination as it is at times a problem that affects my work. I have however been very successful this year so far in time management and making sure procrastination does not get in the way of my school work ad studying.
ReplyDeleteHi Alvin,
DeleteI think its great your are pursuing a bachelors degree in Athletic Training, is this something you have always been passionate about? It sounds like your time management techniques will definitely help you on your journey to success. I myself, like to tackle tasks one step at a time and always try to stay organized. I think a lot of students can relate to the obstacle of procrastination especially if you have a job and attend school. I wish you the best of luck with this semester and your career.
Best,
Kaley
My most prominent lifetime goal is becoming a criminalist and specializing in blood spatter and ballistics. I will use my time management techniques to accomplish this by prioritizing my schooling, work, family, personal relationships, and recreational time. A majority of semesters I work and go to school full time. Therefore, my family and friends are aware that there are a lot of functions I have to miss out on and they support me entirely. Thus far, I have successfully accomplished completing my Associates of Science degree in forensics; I am currently faced with an obstacle of finding a 4-year university to attend to complete my Bachelors of Science in Chemistry or Biology to be qualified for a criminalist position. This is an obstacle because I will be moving soon to take a Forensic job in Orange County, I have to find a place to leave and new college to attend. I will deal with this by approaching the big task one step at a time and not becoming overwhelmed with the big picture. By taking this transition little by little it elevates the overload and stress.
ReplyDeleteYou have made great progress in accomplishing your goal so far and you are on the path to success by taking the steps needed to move forward. Best wishes for the future.
DeleteRight now my most important goal is to complete my college education. In order to get this started, last semester I scheduled a meeting with my sports counselor, Sophie who is very helpful. Sophie helped me make a two-year plan to manage the classes that I will take for my time at Cuyamaca. I will prioritize in doing all of my schoolwork and assignments before I do other activities that don’t have to do with my goal. I also am glad that since I play sports I have to maintain my grades in order to participate so that keeps me in check.
ReplyDeleteMy most important goal is to keep up my grades and continue to work and maintain my time wisely. Managing my time is very important to me so making sure I handle everything that I need to do is something that is a priority for me. So far I have been doing pretty well with making sure I complete all my assignment and getting my work done as well as handling my business at work.
ReplyDeleteMy lifetime goal is to acquire my bachelors degree in criminal justice. In order for me to accomplish this I need to focus on my schooling and less about work. In order to accomplish my lifetime goal I gave up one of my two jobs because I never had enough time to study or do homework. I will also start to prioritize my work and do what needs to be done right away. I need to focus on my long term goals rather than just my short term.
ReplyDeleteGood statement of your goals. Keep working on them.
