My Goals
My short term goal is getting good grades throughout the rest of my school years. I want to get into this habit of getting good grades and working hard. This way I will be able to do better in class when work gets harder each year. Eventually this working habit will prepare me my future jobs. College expects us to study a lot more because it will prepare us for what is coming later in life. Companies and jobs expect that we do our best; that way the company can earn more money.
-Work for best grade in each class
-Prepare for future jobs
-Be organized and prepared
A long term goal of mine is to graduate from SLCC with two associates degrees. I have completed general education courses and am currently in the Occupational Therapy Assisting (OTA) program at SLCC. I hope to graduate with both my Associate of General Studies and Associates of Applied Science in Spring 2017. Going into this program will help me to know what is expected of me in my future career as an OTA. Getting a Generals Associates Degree will help me transfer to another college so I can get my bachelors. Right now I am planning on going to BYU and majoring in Family and Human Studies and minoring in Anthropology. In Family and Human Studies you look at the development of humans throughout the lifespan. Anthropology is the study of human behavior including cultural and social relations. I feel like this additional knowledge will help me be a better OTA practitioner because I will be more well-rounded.

-Get a bachelors at BYU majoring in Family and Human Studies and minoring in Anthropology
-Work as an OTA Practitioner
-Work for best grade in each class
