Reflection
Looking back on my short term goals, I realize they are mostly about my schooling and they are all very reasonable for me. I think that if I accomplish all of these goals, I will be a better prepared person for the remainder of my college life and post college life. In a way I kind of regret that I could not come up with more short term goals that apply to me.
Long Term Goals
Graduate Tri-County Technical College by December 10, 2011 with an Associate's Degree in Nursing.
Get a high-paying job at the hospital by January 1, 2012.
Move out of my parents' house by January 1, 2013.
Get married after obtaining the previous goals.
Reflection
Looking back on my long term goals I realized they were much easier to think of compared to my short term goals. Unlike my short term goals, I know for a fact I will accomplish all of these. I wish I could say the same thing about my short term goals but for some reason, I don’t think I will achieve them all. I cannot wait to get my long term goals finished because it will be then that I am truly dependent and on my own. I think the biggest goal on my mind is moving out of my parents' house. My biggest goal should be graduating so that I can eventually move out on a stable income. I tried to list them in the order that I will accomplish them so it is easier to see how the next 5-10 years of my life will be.
