In this paper I plan to explain a little about myself and my personal goals that I hope to achieve as a student of The University of Phoenix. I will define each goal, the impact it will have and how I plan to achieve each one. I will also discuss the difficulties and obstacles I foresee myself facing in realizing my goals. .
My primary reason and goal for becoming a student at University of Phoenix is to .
obtain an under graduate degree. This is the most important goal as it will have the .
greatest impact on my family, work and personal life. It will set a positive example for my children, increase my opportunities in the work force and increase my self-confidence as an individual. I plan on accomplishing this goal by dedicating an ample amount of time for studying, completing assignments and preparing for class. I will also create short-term goals and measures that I hope will keep me motivated and on track for the duration of my studies. In this I foresee time constraints with my job and family life as being my greatest challenge in meeting this objective.
Second to obtaining my degree is my desire for continuous personal growth and development. For years I have dedicated time developing physical strength and stamina in the gym. While achieving some success in that area I have begun to notice a less than symmetrical balance between my body and mind. Realizing this I have committed myself to creating a development plan to hopefully allow me to achieve similar results at The University of Phoenix as in the gym. By accomplishing this objective I believe I will become a well-rounded and complete individual. The challenge I face here is while I am comfortable in the gym environment and in developing the body, the classroom is a foreign place and I am not knowledgeable of or yet confident in the mind development process.
Finally, I would like to become a more proficient learner.
