My Goals


            
             To say that my main goal in attending college is to earn a Bachelor's Degree would of course be stating the obvious. I want to obtain more than just a piece of paper from attending college. I want to gain an entire new outlook on life, and change how I manage my life. My goals are to enrich my mind, explore different possibilities, and continue my education.
             When I say I want to enrich my mind, I literally mean that. In my present occupation, I spend all day lifting heavy items, putting boxes in smaller boxes continuously fed by a conveyor belt. Needless to say this is exhaustive, mind numbing work. It requires no thought, no planning, just autonomic reflexes. I have often said that a trained monkey could do my job, but the SPCA wouldn't allow it due to the cruelty factor. Stuck within this environment, I feel that my brain is quickly atrophying, I receive no intellectual stimulation. I have found that I want, no I need a structured environment that provides this required stimulation. One of my goals in attending this university is to exercise my current level of intelligence and immerse myself in the knowledge found here. .
             As individuals we are limited to knowing only things that we experience personally. That being said how can I truly know what I like, or want without having experienced all the options available to me. Not just what I want to do for a job, for a career, but what I want to include in my life. I could end up taking an elective and find it totally engrossing, and then decide that I want to change my major, or even the course of my life. These experiences aren't just related to the courses of study, but I also include the people. The experiences that I can share with the students taking these courses broaden my scope of this world. Although the relationships I develop with people online are missing the human contact aspect, they do seem to be deeper and more life effecting for they deal purely with thoughts.
