Goals

Short-term Goals:

Maintain a 3.0 GPA throughout first semester

Attend three or more activities during first semester

Apply and receive a new scholarship

Take 30 credit hours in first year

 

Reflection On Short-term Goals:

 
Striving to keep a 3.0 GPA has instilled values of hard work and determination that I couldn’t gain elsewhere. However, it has strained many of my working and personal relationships because of the need to prioritize. These practices have shown me the need for the same kind of high level studying and performance needed for success in the future. Along with this goal I have also set out to achieve attendance at three or more college events group as well as social ones. This has given me the opportunity to bond with others I would not have gotten to know otherwise and build future working relationships with them. Currently I have the LIFE scholarship, but I need more financial assistance so I wish to apply for and receive another scholarship to help me. In order for me to keep my LIFE scholarship along with the 3.0 GPA I must acquire 30 hours of credit. This leaves me with a schedule that contains more hours than a full-time students work load. With the setup of this I am left with little time for a way to relax and “let loose” which leads to a build up of stress and worries.

 

Long-term Goals:

Graduate from Clemson with honors

 Gain an internship/job with a company in my field

Buy my first vehicle

Buy my first house

 

Reflection on Long-term Goals:

 
After I transfer over from Tri County Technical College to Clemson University I have a desire to graduate from Clemson University with honors. This goal allows me to set my vision on what is my measure of success. It allows me to base my short-term goals around what can lead to this long-term goal. Also through my graduation from Clemson I hope to have offers for an internship/job from a large company that is in my field of study of major. In the steady progression of all these actions they lead up to me buying my first vehicle under my name. This is a major step into adulthood for me and without my success in school it won’t be possible. After all this I wish to purchase a house of my own or with a spouse/mate. These goals show me that I must have a hard working mentality with lots of dedication and determination.
