Long term Goals
1. I would like to transfer into a UC.
My brother graduated from a UC and that is also what i hope to achieve. It was nice to be accepted into a Cal State but i believe a UC holds more prestige when you are looking for jobs. Graduating from a UC is no easy task but i want to satisfaction of completing my college years at a University with great educational values.
2. Complete my Masters Degree
Having a Bachelors degree will soon be worth nothing with all the changes going on in this world. A masters degree also hooks you with jobs with higher pay than a Bachelors degree. If i complete this goal i would be the first in my family to ever reach that level of educational status.
3. Major in Criminology and Minor in psychology
I wish to become a forensic psychologist and those are the two majors that are recommended to complete. I would like to become a person who has influence over others so i can go back to my home town and help people in need. In Compton we barely hear of psychological help but when we do we have to travel far just to reach the nearest psychologist.
4. Purchase a house of my own
After college I will need to have my own place since i will have no where to go so i will need to save up money to buy a house. Every adult needs their own place after all. Having a house will also challenge my ability to survive in the real world which is what school has prepared me for.
5. Get a job that uses my intended major
What will be the point of going to college for more than 8 years to not use your major? I want to get a job that will use my work or else it will feel like i went to school for no reason. This job will also be my source of income and will be what i do for the rest of my life. I want to enjoy the work i am doing i wouldn't want it to seem like i hate the job and got stuck in it.
