March 21, 2020
My goal is to graduate with my BA.GS with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Development from SNHU. This degree will help me determine if I want to be a full-time teacher (committing 30 years) and pursue the option of opening up a facility that allows kids with disabilities transition from school into adulthood. What is driving me to succeed in accomplishing this goal is my younger brother. He is special needs (EBD, OHI, and MOID), who I believe were mishandled while in school. His learning needs weren’t meet, and he wasn’t given a transition plan as he should have received before completing high school in 2017. To achieve my goal that to become a full-time teacher and have the goal in my mind, I have prepared the academic plan that would lead me to my settled or planned goal. I have made a five-step academic plan that underlays the basis for the achievement of my personal and professional goals. The five steps academic program is as follows; I will break my goal into different categorize and then separately set schedules for each task or category. I will prioritize tasks based on their importance, date, or need. I will set specific time and date for each task that would lead me towards my goal. Without showing laziness, I will complete each settled task consistently on time. Manage time to recover while achievement of these goals, whenever I will fall into a stretch zone, I will manage time to recover myself physically and mentally to restart my struggle for goal achievement.
The goal to study with BA.GS is to become a full-time teacher or to pursue the option of opening up a facility that helps kids with disabilities transition from school into adulthood. I want to facilitate kids with disabilities transition from school because I feel like these kids are a neglected part of our society. Our schools need to understand the special needs of this child, and this is what motivates me to become a teacher for those who need special care and understanding while in school. Measures that I have decided for the successful completion of my goal. I have selected both short term and long-term measures to achieve my goals. These measures are a combination of my personal and professional goals in a manner. Short-term measure #1: Keeping a planner and making sure assignments are completed between Tuesday and Thursday of each week until Fall 2021 Short-term measure #2: Pass this course with a B average by April 2020 Long-term measure #1: Become a certified teacher in the State of Georgia by May 2022
Long-term measure #2: Graduate from SNHU with my Bachelor of Arts degree in General Studies by October 2021
I know to achieve these goals, I will have to take action, and resources would be required for achievement. The most favorable action I need to take is to stay direct consistent towards my goal. Furthermore, resources include expenses for studies, fees, and related expenses. To come on time for every test and assignment are little but important actions that would decide the future of my goal. To study the BA.GS is my goal and is relevant to my passion and future profession. After researching, I want to be a successful individual child-teacher, and I am personally motivated to achieve this goal. We all have a life purpose, like of me, to become a successful special child education provider, and I am realistically motivated towards it. My estimated time needed to achieve my goal is two years and four months to achieve my goal of being an educator.
