My Personal Goals

There are things which has been left undone because of some personal set backs, but as it is

said “time is the best healer” and this holds true as I am back in school as an adult with more

experience so that I could complete the doctoral study and earn a degree. Currently, my goal

is to achieve the degree, learn new things and to apply the knowledge which I learn in the

class in real world. My focus is to ho-an my skills, learn new things and advance higher so that

I have a personal satisfaction of completing the things which I have left undone. I feel that the

learning that I will have here will help me to apply these in the business which I intend to

start. Already having experience in the business world has proven to me that it is essential to

have skills to maintain and improve daily functions. Three skills I’d personally like to improve on

are my Interpersonal skills, time management, and presentation skills.

At my place of employment for the past five years, I’ve noticed that as I gain more and more

responsibilities, it becomes harder to remember appointments or find items on my desk. The

need to become more organized is quickly becoming a necessity. If I were more organized, I’d

spend less time searching for things and would have more time to dedicate to my new

responsibilities. This, in effect, will help improve my time management skills at work which will

hopefully rub off on my habits in my personal life. If improvement was made on my

interpersonal and time management skills, I’d hope that I’d feel more prepared and therefore,

more comfortable to make presentations in both the classroom and the workplace. Therefore, I

feel like I have to pursuit my goals and gain more knowledge to make changes and take over as a

manager or supervisor.

Apart from the above stated things which I need to put in place so that I can be effective, I

guess I have to be more technological oriented, because technology saves a lot of time. One

can do things from Smartphones or tablets and can control things too. Technology is fast

becoming a necessity and people are looking at it to make their career more effective.

Career Objectives

In the article "Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name," James Lincoln Collier

explains that anxiety is a very common part of our life in our society and that to

defeat anxiety is to confront it and face it as we grow and learn from it instead of

backing away. Collier uses several of his personal experiences and explains

how each helped him to overcome his anxiety. With each obstacle that he faced,

he developed three basic rules for himself. Collier had a chance to go on a trip to

Argentina with his roommate, Ted. Being away for two months sounds exciting

but he is having a second thought, and he end up turning down the invitation. It

scared him of being in a new, strange country. He regrets by not going through

the Argentina trip, and it taught him a lesson. This lesson made him developed

his first rule: "do what makes you anxious, don't do what makes you depressed."

He also found out that the person he admired, Duke Ellington, still has stage

fright, even though he has been performing for more than thirty years, and by

knowing that, Ellington inspired Collier. After doing a couple of interviews, he

noticed that he is not that scared anymore. He had benefited and discovered

from the process of psychologist call "extinction." Which he had come up with

his second rule: "you'll never eliminate anxiety by avoiding the things that caused

it." Collier had put out his anxiety by confronting it; in addition, Collier developed

his third rule: "you can't learn if you don't try." To illustrate his third rule, some

years ago he had an offer to do a writing assignment that will require him to three

months of travel to Europe. Furthermore, Collier is unable to speak French but it

didn't stop him on accepting the assignment. In the end, Collier points out that "the new the

different, is almost by definitions scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the

learning piles up, the world opens to.

My mission statement

What is our purpose in life? Myself and many others and have asked this question, yet there is

no Universal answer. I however, have been able to come to a conclusion as to how I would like

to lead my life. My life mission statement is to be able to help others and those around me

through hard work, loyalty and teaching. I’ve been able to decide my life mission statement

through various experiences in my life which includes volunteering work, sports and my

education. Along with creating my life mission statement, I’ve also been able to create an

outline as to how my life will be in the future and how I plan to succeed in fulfilling my life

mission statement.

Throughout my life I’ve been involved in various extra-curricular activities ranging from school

clubs to volunteer work. There are two volunteer organizations that I was part of which helped

me shape my life mission statement; volunteering at my local homeless shelter and being a part

of a church mentoring program which help young adults continuing their high school education.

As I look upon their faces when they graduate and receive their (GED) general education

development it makes me feels I accomplish something in life.

In the end, I have a great deal of time ahead of me in my life to continue pursuing my life

mission statement. Currently, I’ve began in the right direction to leading myself towards my life

mission statement. To reach the point in my life where I will feel like I’ve completed this

objective will involve a great deal of effort and commitment, however, I feel that the rewards in

return will be worth the struggles. I look forward to being able to further help those around me

while at the same time enjoying what I do.

Saying it all, I would like to extend my thank you to all of my faculties and mentors who holds

a very important position in my life, as I am here because of their guidance. I just want to

keeping doing good work with all my efforts put in. There is a long way to go in my academics

now and I want to just focus on one thing at a time.
