I am currently dually enrolled with SPCC. When I graduate from high school, I also hope to receive my associates degree. In order to achieve this, I can stay on track now and take appropriate courses. I also need to maintain good grades because if I fail a class, I will be off track and not graduate on time. I plan to graduate in the Spring of 2019.
Currently, my study habits have allowed me to get good grades throughout high school. However, once I begin college, I will need better study habits. In order to create these better habits, I can prepare in advance by creating study tools. I can make flashcards, study guides, and practice tests to prepare me. I plan to create better study habits by fall semester of 2019, which is when I will begin to attend a University.
My goal is to complete 200 hours of community service by the time I graduate high school in June of 2019. Community service is something I throughly enjoy because I love helping people. By doing community service, I can help the people and organizations in my community that are underserved.
Study abroad the summer of 2020.
Work out on a regular basis.
Continue to make straight A's in SPCC classes.
Since I am a transfer student, the time allotted for me to study abroad is limited. I am not sure I would like to spend an entire semester abroad. However, I would like to do it over the summer. The best time for me to do this is the summer of 2020. My goal is to study abroad during the summer of 2020.
As I transfer to a University next year, I want to maintain my fitness. I currently play sports which helps keep me in shape. However, by November of 2019, I want to have a regular schedule for working out and complete it on a daily basis.
I have always been a straight A student, and I want to finish my semester at SPCC strong. By the beginning of May, I hope to have all A's in my college courses.
LONG-TERM
Graduate from a four year university with a major in biology or pre-med.
In order to pursue my future goals, it is vital that this goal is completed. In order to graduate from a four-year university, I must stay on track while I am there. I can do this by studying and keeping up with my work. It is vital I complete all work on time. If I need help or I am struggling with a subject, I must seek additional help through the resources offered at the college. I plan to graduate by 2023.
Travel to Paris by 2026.
Paris is somewhere I have always wanted to visit. It is a beautiful place with a rich history where I would like to do a lot of sightseeing. I hope to travel there by 2026.

After receiving my undergraduate, I hope to attend medical school to pursue a doctoral degree.
Open my own private practice in my hometown.
The goal previous to this one is vital to achieving this goal. Specific steps to achieve this include taking the MCAT. The MCAT is a requirement for medical school so by studying and receiving a good score, I can achieve this goal. I also can begin the application before I finish my undergraduate degree to ensure I will attend medical school after. I plan to do this by 2024.
My hometown currently has a lack of medical assistance. I plan to return to my hometown after medical school and open my own practice. Steps to achieve this include completing residency and receiving funds to open my own practice. I can receive funds since Anson County being a medically underserved community. Once I receive funds, I will be on track for opening my own practice. I plan to do this by 2030.
Start a family by 2027.
Adopt a child by 2030.
Starting a family is one of my significant personal goals. I definitely want to get married and have children. I hope to do so by 2027.
There are many kids who do not have a home. The price of adoption is often too much for those looking to adopt. If I am a physician, I will have adequate funds to adopt a child. I have always wanted to adopt a child and I hope I can do so by 2030 when I am likely to be financially stable.
Additional
All of these goals are vital to furthering my education. Although they are challenging, they are preparing me to pursue my future occupation and necessary steps in order to achieve my final goal of opening my own practice. By achieving the goals I have set now, I can improve my chances of achieving my long term goals. My goals act as building blocks for the final goal I hope to achieve. It is important I stay focused and motivated. My personal goals say a little bit more about who I am and what I hope to achieve in the future.
