Blog 2: First Draft of Goals Essay

  In order for me to become a Psychologist I first must achieve a 3.0 GPA for the cluster. I know 3.0 could be a bit easy but its a small step for me and my journey of being a psychologist. But for me to achieve a 3.0 GPA I also must improve my writing because jobs for psychology requires me to to write a cover letter. If my writing isn't good enough through their eyes they can simply just throw away my resume out the trash. I think if I get a 3.0 GPA it would mean that not only my hard work paid off but, it would also mean for me to work even harder for the long run.
  One way for me to achieve a 3.0 is by improving my writing. Improving my writing would not only eliminate my frustrations towards writing but it would also improve my GPA. Writing has always been my enemy for years. I dislike writing for so long that every time I hear the word essay I just give a mean look about it. Ways for me to improve and writing is by going to the writing center if I'm ever in need of help. I can also do some free writing on my journal that I keep, maybe that could help me improve it.
  Another way for me to get a 3.0 GPA is by getting some morale support by either my family members or friends. Back in high school i was always one of those students who were just lazy to do any of the homework. I understand the work that was given to me, but since my high school was one of those schools that had no positive energy it turned me lazy. So with the support with someone close to me, it can motivate me to stay focus and concentrate for my 3.0 GPA. I can also make a bet that my English professor mentioned when she was in college. Placing bets are great ways to improve your GPA because, no one likes to lose especially if the loser has to do something embarrassing.
  Talking to my college professor could likely improve my GPA cause, their feedback can help me understand what i need to improve on so I can be a better student. For example if my English professor suggested I participate in class more, then I'll do everything in my power to improve on that. If I get a low grade on a test I can ask why I got that failing grade. It will also help me have a better understanding thus helping me get a 3.0. I should also take my classes seriously, cause if I don't I wont be able to accomplish my goal. So taking my classes seriously is another way to do well on the cluster.
  In conclusion now that I have achieve a 3.0 GPA for the cluster its time for me to focus on something even more bigger. Its time for me to achieve an even higher GPA. Since I started off slow and did everything at a good pace for myself. I can now try to achieve a 3.5 GPA, which means I have to work a lot harder and study more.
