Patrick E - Important Goal

11. February 2009 by admin.

One important goal I would like to achieve in the next few years is to obtain a college degree in business and automotive technology. I would also hope to get these degrees from a community college close to my home in Philadelphia. I will explain my steps to reach my goal.
My whole plan starts with studying and passing my GED, since I have not completed the proper number of credits for a high school diploma. Without a GED, I will not be able to go to college. I will be the first person in my family to get a GED or a High School diploma.
After I obtain my GED, I will apply for acceptance to many different Technology colleges in Pennsylvania. I also plan to apply to a few community colleges as a backup plan, in case I can’t get into a technology college. I plan to do a few semesters at a junior college and then reapply to the other colleges.
After I get accepted, I will apply for grants, scholarships, and loans. I will also probably have to get a part time job at night and on weekends. I understand that College isn’t cheap. My family does not have a lot of money, so I know that I will have to pay for most of college on my own. I think that it is better if I pay my own way through college, because I will be more motivated to do well.
Completing my GED and graduating from college with degrees in business and automotive technology are the most important goals for me. These goals will help me shape my future. I will be able to get a good job or open my own business.
