Academic Goals: Preparing for the Future by Colton

Academic Goals: Preparing for the Future by Colton - August 2022 Scholarship Essay

In life it is crucial to have goals that you hope to obtain in the future. I think it is important to have goals for different aspects of your life such as financial, emotional, physical, mental, spiritual. Here I will go over my academic goals for the upcoming year and what I want to achieve. To start off, I want to achieve a 4.0 GPA and be at the top of my class. Don’t get me wrong, I know it is a difficult goal, but I honestly believe it is obtainable for me. However, I am going to have to commit 100% to studying, asking questions, and keeping track of all my assignments. For the best GPA from my previous years, I have only managed up to a 3.7 so I am hoping to achieve this goal. On top of that, I also want to truly learn and soak up the knowledge from my classes. What I mean by that is, some people get good grades without really learning what they are being taught. Once their class is finished they forget everything they “learned”. I want to commit the time and effort to be able to remember the information I learn and be able to apply it to my life and career in the future. I recently transferred from a community college so I will definitely not take for granted this blessing of an opportunity to go to a 4 year college and pursue a Bachelor’s Degree.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for this opportunity.

Best Regards,
Colton Carry
