My Personal Goals
Many times I have set a goals for myself only to fail myself by not completing them. Each time I have done this I have looked back at the goal and realized there were many short-term goals I need to reach in order to be successful at reaching my goal. I always looked at the big picture and never the success of the long-term goal and never at the short-term goals to accomplish and to succeed at the long-term goal. I took charge of this situation recently and changed direction I set a goal many years ago that I wanted to succeed at but had failed, that was to be the first person in my family to complete a Bachelor’s Degree. This change in attitude helped persuade my decision to attend the University of Pheonix (UOP). A fellow student said it well in one of his daily posts, he pointed out that each long-term goal is only successful when planned and organized in a way that you can be successful; “… in other words, setting a goal, then plotting out the steps to get there, then figuring out which ones must be taken this week
UOP has given me a new approach to my goal. I am now able to spend time with my young son as well as attend school. I can attend my classes when it is convenient for me not for the professor. I will not be attending college part-time for several years to obtain my goal, with my transfer credits it will be approximately a year before I have my degree, not the anticipated four to five years I thought it would take. In addition, UOP also offers several other resources that will help me with term papers and essays. These resources will also allow me more time with my son, and less time sitting in a library doing research. My prior attitude was the, I can’t attitude, this was an attitude I had to overcome while I was earning my AA Degree. Thomas Jefferson was correct nothing on earth could help me while I had the wrong attitude. I had to change my attitude, and overcome all the obstacles I kept using as excuses as to why I couldn’t attend school. Things such as there are no universities close to home, or my son needs me I can
