What are your goals if you're willing to share?

Right now I have a ton of short term and long term goals and well since I like to talk to people I feel that maybe I can list 'em all out and see if it helps relieve some stress and possibly even help me remember things a little better. Plus maybe some of you guys can even use my routine on this and even give some advice as to how to achieve these better.

-Bring up grades and pass this quarter.
-Stay ahead during next semester.
-Find a job ASAP.
-Save money for plane ticket to New York
-Make up school hours
-Book in extra hours so that I don't fall behind when I go to New York.
-Try to get ahead in all computer classes so that I don't fall behind when I go to New York.
-DON'T FALL BEHIND IN GENERAL!!!

Those are my goals for now and I'm sure there's more to come!

I dont' know why but it just always seems to help me better when I tell people my goals..maybe it's because since they know what they are they are looking forward to me achieving them and if I was to fail I'd feel like I let them down.

Let me share a story with you, it's long but i'll shorten it dramaticly.

When I was 17 I ran away from my dads house in el paso and came back to houston (for personal reasons i wont go into) to live with my best friend. That was a bad situation so i decided to live with my mom, and **** hit the fan and she kicked me out. (this was in a 6 month period)

My boyfriend (whos now my fiance) had to leave his family, to come and get me. His dad had strict rules about people staying at his house. So we lived in the car for about 3 weeks until we got our apartment.

He was working part-time making 6.50/hr and our rent alone was 450. We had one car and he took me to school and picked me up. Well i started skipping school a lot because of severe depression, and i didnt want anything to do with anyone except my cats. So they transferred me to night school. I got a full time job worked from 6 am - 3 pm and went to school from 4 pm until 10 pm...

If it werent for Dimas, i would have been out on the streets, and wouldn't have gotten my high school diploma.

Today we are both working full time, and have a 2 bedroom apartment and 4 beautiful cats.

But i'll give you this advice...if you DESPERATE for a job, I don't know where you live, but call centers (like telemarketing) are great. They have decent pay, and are usually pretty flexible.

I've been in your situation where I was failing, and even though you're in college and my experience was with high school it's still something you just have to sit down and do, and once it's all over, you'll be relieved, and proud of yourself.

I hope that gives you somewhat of an insperation...

I'm in highschool and I don't plan on moving out anytime soon.

ah, I understand, but just realize, life hits you hard, you have to fight back I guess that was my point...

I know, that if I can get through everything i've been through. You can get through this. No matter how hard. Just have faith

My plans are as follows.

-Get well.
-Make business plans for own cattery
-Hold up bank to get money for own cattery (kidding)
-Forge business partnership with colleague who is interested in helping me AND has a project of his own I'm interested in.
-survive 2006.


Anything over that and I've no idea yet!! As long as I can have my market research and business plans done by the end of the year I'm happy!

My goals
-get back into college
-lose 15 pounds by christmas
-decide what I really want to go to school for
-up my bowling average by atleast 65 points in the next 2 or 3 months

That is about it right now!

Hmmm my goals, that's a good question

I guess my number one goal is to get myself righted financially, after the divorce my money situation took an extreme nose dive. I'm almost there, I have a couple more outstanding bills that need to be paid and then I can use the money to get the things I need (a Couch!!! and my car maintenance taken care of)
My second goal would be to start eating helathier and get my bootay off the couch
And third, but this probably won't be possible for awhile, start saving more for the long term, like open an IRA or start investing in mutual funds

Short term - get moved and settled on my new farm

Long term - Quit smoking, lose weight and make my farm successful

I've just finished so many... Got my BS in Computer Science minor Physics.. Got a full-time job GlaxoSmithKline... Starting my cattery.. I've always worked to hard to get to this point and now that I am what are my goals?

Wow! that's so great!! Congrats!

short term:
- write my 3 research papers and movie/book review (all of them due in two weeks )
- talk more with that guy in my class (and figure out if he likes me )
- if he does like me, my goal is not to screw up
- maintain my sanity (it's a though one lately)
- do my tax return

long term
- maintain my grades
- get into grad school
- make more friends
- get a life!

that's all I can think about right now.

-To have some sort of an occupation in the music industry that requires me to have the degree that I'm paying $80,000 to get. Preferably, a performance kind of a job.

However, it's really sort of nerve wracking to not know if/how/when/what that job will come/be. Music is a right place at the right time kind of an industry more than anything.

My goals, realistic or not:
Find perfect man, get married and have 1 or 2 kids. Buy mini farm.
Quit full time job, keep pet sitting business but eventually fade out and just own and run it, not work it. Full time mom.
After kids are older and in school, take photography and landscaping classes.
Possibly start other business doing that.
Through it all, own and love as many animals as I can!!
