Below is a list of my short term and long term goals.
Short term:
My short terms goals that I want to complete in the next two years are; move out, get most if not all of my generals done at Salt Lake Community College with a 3.8 GPA, get a yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do, get my EMT certification, and work at a hospital.
Long term:
After these two years my long term goals would be to get into the U of U to complete my bachelors degree, get a job in another field inside the medical field for a more broad experience, get into medical school, become a Green Belt in Tae Kwon Do, beat all the Zelda games, and to write a movie with my friends.
When I started my classes at Salt Lake Community College they offered me classes like Tae Kwon Do that otherwise I would have been afraid to take on my own. Taking math online has completely changed my perspective of it being impossible to it being completely possible and also understanding it. Lastly even though I have always felt confident in English. By taking it one step farther in college I feel like I can present myself better and analyze intentions to better myself internally and externally.
