Example 1 Mission Statement
Personal- I stand for a world that is safer, where justice can be served.
Academic- I am committed to obtaining my degree as a Crime Scene Investigator.
Professional- I am committed to aiding the world to become safer by helping the community where I live
take criminals off the streets using my skills as a Crime Scene Investigator.
My current reality is beginning school to become a crime scene investigator. I can move toward this
mission by continuing my education, devouring as much information as possible to become a great
crime scene investigator. I can learn more about my community, find out more about the agencies, and
people involved with our police department and local politics governing laws.
I now realize that you have to visualize the mission and not stress on how to get there because if you do,
sub-consciously it brings you right back to your current reality.
Example 2 My Mission Statement
I am committed to making nursing homes a better place for the elderly.
Academically I plan to acquire the degrees necessary to establish a career that will give me the ability to
manage the care and treatment of patients at nursing homes.
Professionally I plan to make the nursing home environment better. I will provide the essential elements
to change the way patients get treated.
Personally I will gain the satisfaction of knowing that I achieved the fulfillment of helping others. I will
also be able to give my family the life we deserve both financially and mentally.
Currently my mission statement and my present reality only meet at one place, the fact that I care about
the elderly. My present reality falls short of my mission statement but my goal does not reflect that. My
goals are set beyond my current abilities giving me the first step I need to make my future a reality. I
believe through hard work and a little time I will be able to get where I want to be and maybe even
beyond. If you set your goals and that picture is strong enough your mind will find a way to make that
goal a reality. You don't need to know the how you just need to know what it is that you want.
Example 3 My Mission Statement
Academic
"I am committed to completing my Bachelor Degree in Criminal Justice while going to school full time,
with a GPA of 3.0 or more by being honest, committed, and the person I know I can be."
Professional
"I am committed to being a respected Law Enforcement Officer, by being properly trained and educated
along with going above and beyond my own expectations to help people not only be safe, but to also
inspire and defer the others to stay on the right side of the Law."
Personal
"I am committed to creating a safe and caring world by being a dedicated, honest, and alert individual."
My present reality coincides with my mission, by setting realistic goals to attain my mission and by
thinking that I already have it. I believe that thinking I already have something, will cause me to reach
out and get what it is that I want. Doing so I believe will end in my present reality and my mission to
agree exactly and or, happen at the same time.
