" I Want To Become Statement"
I want to become a person who focuses on the goals of bettering myself, both in my academic endeavors and my personal life/habits. I have always been a determined and hardworking student, but I feel that there are sometimes where I am only focused on the grade that I am receiving. In my academics the overarching goal is to maintain a GPA above 3.7, so that I can be eligible to apply for graduate school. Though this is one of the most important goals when it comes to my academics because underneath this goal, I have smaller goals of wanting to improve my studying habits and the goal to understand the information, rather than simply memorize the information.
Some of the values that I want to work on improving are hard work and compassion.These are both values that I believe that I have, but that can be improved and aren’t at the level that I want them to be at. Hard work is something that as I have gotten older, I feel that I have been slacking on and have gotten comfortable in where I am right now. Hard work I feel is a value that can be improved with every aspect of life, and that’s what I am striving to do currently in both my academic and personal life. Compassion is a value that I feel needs to work on more and I need to grow more as an individual. I feel that sometimes I can be selfish and not thinking of the other people that I am around.
Growth is something that I am always looking to improve because without growth we are going to go anywhere. This is especially relevant because throughout is that transition time to grow and become an adult. I want to become someone who ultimately focuses on their personal growth in all endeavors and paths that I choose to go down.
