          A goal is a desired result. In order to achieve this you have to be motivated and committed to fulfill your goal. The biggest goal so far in my life is getting in LAGCC nursing program. This is a very important goal because it will be the jump start to my career of leading me to the nursing field. In order for me to get in this program I will need to have a certain grades, meeting, meet certain requirements and accounting certain obstacles. I will need plenty of support from loved ones to cheer me on.

          To every goal there are certain standards to be set in order for me to accomplish it. In my case my goals has educational requirements to be set, such as obtaining an A or A- in ENG101 and having a GPA of 3.08. Getting B’s is not acceptable. In order for me to avoid getting B’s or other low grades I have to complete all homework assignments on time, participate and be more open when I don’t understand the material that is being taught. To take charge of this situation I will need to cut work hours. It’s also important to improve my studying skills and habits. Being motivated and knowing I’m this close to my dreams will help me to work hard in all my classes. Motivation is a very important thing to have while trying to achieve your goal. If you don’t have motivation or positivity you cannot accomplish your goal. Motivation and positivity is what helping me stay focus in order for to be successful in accomplishing my goals.

          However in process of completing my goal there are many obstacles and challenges that get in the way. Sometimes things are easier said than done. While trying to complete my assignments temptation comes in my way such as going to parties with friends, shopping, bowling, going to work and just plain laziness. I need to make my school work my first priority and everything else comes after. Working toward this goal will take patience and hard work because nothing in this world gets handed to you on a silver platter. With the support from family and friends all will be right. In need to have that I’m getting closer every day to achieving my goal. I have to never up or let bad thoughts bring me down. All I have to do is keep my eyes on the prize. According to Brian Tracy “Goals in writing are dreams with deadlines”. To me this quote means a lot I look at it as it’s saying by the end of the semester my deadline of meeting my goal will be accomplish, just like a writer need a deadline to finish up their work on time. Achieving this goal at the end of the semester will no longer be a deadline it will be a reality that is completed with hard work and patience.

       In conclusion achieving a goal is not easy there are many obstacles that you face in order to get where you want to be. Accomplishing your goal you will need to make big sacrifices, such as studying more cutting work hours ask more questions and participating in class. As for me I will need to stay positive keep my words don’t fall behind in class assignments. It will take work and patience having these two motivations you can accomplish anything you want in life
