Dream Goal

     I have several goals that I would love to achieve in my life. I am very determined to graduate from LaGuardia community college with a nursing and writing degree. First I have to maintain good grades in my classes, and pass my math 095 and 099 class along with the math assessment test. Therefore I would have succeed in understanding math better. Afterword, I can ask myself, Who can I speak to about the nursing program at LaGuardia? What is the grade point average I need to meet, in order to get accepted? How can I get into the nursing program? By the summer 2012 I expect to have nothing but A's and B's in all my classes, with a grade point average of 4.0.
     I would have to plan ahead in order to achieve these requirements. How can I go about getting only A's and B's in my classes. Being on time to class can be a start, and not being absent unless it is an emergency.Not only that, also pushing myself to stay focus in class. In addition meeting deadlines for assignments given, as well as doing good on exams. I refuse to be a failure, but an champion.
     Even-though there may be situations in my life that can cause me to stress and slack in class. However I can not, and will not, let that affect my school work. I always tell myself " I'm one step closer to my dream." This quote keeps me motivated and going. I may have a lot of things to do in one day, everyday of the week. For example I attend school, then go to work after. I never really have the time for social life or activities. Furthermore I would have to mange my more better, in addition I may not understand the work that is given to me so I would go to a resourceful person or place. Speaking up in class and sharing my ideas would also be helpful, making friends and discussing activities to better understand the work.Also learning from one another is equally important to me, as well as getting good grades.
     Staying on top of my game once I'm in the nursing program. In order for me to be successful I have to think like a nurse, then I will be even closer to my dream. Of course I would have to do double work in order to remain in the nursing program. Not only will I prepare for every class by review my
notes, also spending more hours studying. I plan to have the mentality of a nurse, because knowing that I will achieve and succeed in this goal. Staying positive and motivated is the key to success, furthermore it will help me to stay strong as a person.
     Becoming a pediatric nurse is something I dreamed of being since I was twelve years old. Just me making a child smile or making them feel better, made me feel good about myself. My fiance always told me I was really good with kids, the way I make them smile, laugh, and just giving them comfort. Achieving this goal will change my life for the better from different aspects. I will be a much better person in life, not that I'm not already. Working with kids will help me better understand them and knowing them better. Also, becoming a nurse will make my parents proud of me. They never really been to college or school being born and raised in The Gambia, a small country in Africa.So therefore they had the mind set of getting married having kids and being a family, and religion. On the other hand while I was born and raised in New York I wanted a different life for myself then, my parents. So right there and then I knew they was disappointed in me. My parents knew how important it was for me to go college and achieve this dream of mines. They believe going to school was important, but they did not think it was more important then marriage. Not only will I show them that the life I have plan for myself is okay and will give them the opportunity to come to me for help.
