Personal Goals

Some of the skills that I desperately need to improve upon are my reading and writing skills. This would lead into becoming a better decision maker and learning how to prioritize crises or problems that occur in the workplace and everyday life. Other skills that I would like to sharpen would be the ability to deal with stress. I would like to come out of the University of Phoenix being a very proud and sharp professional willing to give myself to a large corporation in the Information Technology department. For example, being able to produce reports or documents in a working environment. Organizing my thoughts and going about things one day at a time would also alleviate stress. Basically, I see myself living the ‘American Dream’ residing in a large house in Southern California, being able to support a family and possibly even being wealthy enough to put my kids through college, and at the same time, have extra cash to take spectacular trips or vacations.

I expect to learn a lot from my teachers and peers at this campus, develop contacts in the Information Technology field, and establish or learn better working habits that I can take to the career of my choice. I am going to dedicate myself and try my best to complete this institution by January 2005. I want to learn how to communicate the best I can in any working environment, and also, learn the best techniques enabling me to deal with any employee, from being a manager to being managed. I want to be able to pick up any kind of literature, and make sense out of it, some might call this, ‘reading between the lines’.

From all of the learning and changing that will be taking place in my life; I should become a better-rounded person. This will hopefully escalate to executive management someday.
