5 Goals

I'm really working hard on trying to better myself in my life and set goals because of how rough of a life I have had up until this point so that I can overcome my various struggles. Something you may not know about me, I have been in state's custody since I was twelve, and now I am almost eighteen. It has been a little over five years in three different programs, and I'm trying to do what I need to do to get home, and live my life to the best of my abilities— but in order to do so I really need to set and achieve some personal goals, such as the ones I will list down below.

My first goal is to to graduate high school a year early. In order to do this, I will set the following sub goals. Get a 3.5 GPA or better the rest of the year, have no grades lower than an B- or at the very lowest an C+ grade average, and make up all missed work ASAP before its too late.

My second goal is that of in my program leveling up to a high enough level to where I can regularly go home on visits. In order to do this, I would need to out of 700 points a week earn at least 600 to 650 points so that it is showing that I am trying to implement all the change I have learned about the past few years of my physical therapeutic incarceration/my current mental & emotional damnation.  After how long I've been in state's custody, I find it hard to believe I will ever be set free again. It feels as if no matter what I do I'm still stuck because of too high expectations set upon me. I feel like the king Sisyphus, having to push a boulder up a hill just to have it roll back down the other side for eternity, and if I get tired or relax even a little bit, I will get smashed. In order to successfully, earn 600 to 650 points each week I would need to keep controlling my anger and frustrations,  better work on managing my carnal urges, and show self control and public and personal safety. I would also need to develop a sense of self worth.

My third goal is that of completing my current written therapy workbook. I am assigned by my therapist. In order to do this, I would need to spend at least one hour everyday to take the time to either type up or write my written therapy that is assigned for me to do as a minimum requirement in my program each day, in addition I would need to choose around twenty one extra minutes in the day to engage in this activity. I would also need to go over all the therapy I do each day with my therapist Rich in each of our sessions.

My next goal is that of returning to my home for good, to stay permanently.  In order to do this, I would need to do all the above things I have listed, but for a prolonged amount of time, let's say around three months, or a whole court review time.

  

My fifth and final goal is to once I am home and out of states custody I will go to college and graduate and get a career in underwater welding. In order to do this, I will need to accomplish all of the above. I also need to than apply for Weber State University or some other Utah college or university, become certified in welding, and scuba diving, and then apply for a job as an underwater welder. Than make $200,000 a year, save up and build by personal cruise yacht, save up from cruises I give, and then pay off the payment, make it my own personal ocean sailing yacht to be manned by everyone I have ever known in my life.

In conclusion to the various goals I have written within the above page, I will proceed to complete this assignment given to me by including in text the methods in which I will follow through with my above goals.

I will accomplish all of my above goals by either acquiring, or fortifying my personal strengths such as—A strong consistent overachieving work ethic, the virtue of patience, the value of self discipline and control, the personal internal/intrinsic motivations, and the art of humility, and the application and acceptance of personal character change. This is how I will successfully accomplish my various above goals.
