Goals Essay

In your life you must set short-range as well as long-range goals for yourself.   The reason for setting goals is to make sure that you don"t fall behind in life and you achieve your dreams.   I have set goals for myself and have taken steps in achieving them.   My short-range goals are as follows:

 Graduating from high school with honors,
 Getting excepted into a prestigious college, and
 Buying a car before the Christmas holidays

To make sure that I worked towards my goals I made a calendar to keep myself on task with my plans.

A few of the things that I"m doing to make sure that I graduate with honors are doing my homework and studying.   I set up a time everyday to study my subjects in school to make sure that I pass my test.   My second goal is to attend a prestigious college.   The steps that I"ve taken to achieve that goal are doing searches on the Internet and talking to college students and teachers.   I have tried to make sure that I get all the information that I need to choose the right college for me.   My plans for buying a car have changed since others cost for school and more important things have come about, but I do plan to purse that goal at another time.

The long-range goals that I"ve set for myself are just as important as my short-range goals and they are as follows:

 Graduate from college with honors
 Become very successful in a marketing career dealing with fashion, and
 Buy a house

I haven"t been able to exactly make plans to achieve these goals because they are so extravagant.   When I do start to make steps toward my goals I"m sure that I will be successful.  

As time goes on I continue to set goals for myself.   I don"t plan to give up on my goals any time soon because that would be considered failure.
