"If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough."
Without goal setting, there is no drive or passion to succeed. Setting goals is imperative to a future that leads to great achievements. This is why, since I started grade school, I have been setting goals for myself.

I have one major life goal and many professional goals. My major life goal is to helps others who cannot help me back. I just want the satisfaction of knowing that I was able to help someone and inspire someone who does not need to repay me. Just the meer fact that I could make a difference in their life is good enough for me.

My professional goals are the building blocks to my successful future. My first professional goal is to be offered a job right when I graduate from school. At the beginning of my senior year, I am going to start applying for multiple job positions. Each person that graduates with me in 2014 is going to be job hungry as well. This means that I will need to be ahead of the game.
​
My second professional goal is to do something that I love. I do not want to be unhappy at my job. Yes, no one's job is perfect. There will be aspects of that job that I dislike, never the less, I need to enjoy a majority of it. I would rather have a salary of a lesser amount and have a smile on my face when I work than to make more money and be miserable. Happiness comes first for me.

My third professional goal and the ultimate goal for myself is to become an FBI Agent. The FBI is not an easy agency to get into, so that is why I am more motivated to join. I would love to get a job in the criminal profiling aspect of the victimology sector. I want to be able to try and figure out why criminals act the way they do and piece together their criminal characteristics and their minds. This would make me the happiest person in the world, so I am going to do everything in my power to achieve this goal.
