“My Bourne”
“Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from
achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental
attitude,” says Thomas Jefferson. Having said this quotation, we must first
know the meaning of a goal in order to fully
understand and give relevance to the said quotation. “A goal is a result or
achievement toward which effort is directed” (Goal, n.d.). It could also be
defined as the anticipated result which guides reaction, or an end which is an
object, either a physical object or an abstract object that has intrinsic
value. It is important for a person to set goals in order to make progress and
to be able to help them work towards their objectives. Setting goals entails intention, desire and acquisition
of knowledge.
In order to pass or better yet, ace
my writing course, English Communication or Englcom, I need to set certain
goals. These goals will help me grow and develop not only as a student, but as
a writer as well. One of my goals for Englcom is to become a better writer. I
want to improve my writing skills so that I can create better outputs such as,
essays, articles, stories and poems. I want to be able to develop and practice
the writing skills that I have learned in class. Another goal that I want to
achieve for this course is to be able to understand and apply everything that
my professor will teach me. Given that this course will teach me different
skills and strategies to improve my writing, I want to be able to maximize
those skills and strategies by the end of the semester. I also want to see how
much I have improved since the start of the school year.
I know that
it would not be possible for me to achieve the goals that I mentioned above if
I do not work towards accomplishing them and so one of the ways for me to
achieve my goals for Englcom is to actively participate during class
discussions. I must listen and take in everything that my professor will
discuss. One more way to achieve my goals is to study well. I should learn how
to manage my time wisely and to prioritize my studies. Even if some people may
say that Englcom is quite an easy subject or course, I should still learn to
prioritize it. Lastly, I must always keep practicing on writing so that I will
be able to master all the skills that I have and will learn about writing.
Since we are required to write our essays through a blog or online writing, I
must do my best to apply the skills that I have learned through my blog.
Setting
goals for my writing course is easy, the difficulty lies on working towards my
goals. I must carry out all of the ways to accomplishing my goals and I believe
that if I work hard and if I do everything that I can, I will be able to
achieve each and every one of my goals for Englcom.
