ACADEMIC/PROFESSIONAL GOALS
Goal setting is a major part of my life because it allows me to remain motivated and
focused. I have improved the way I set my goals by making the specific, measurable, attainable,
realistic and timely. I am thankful to my Lord that I have been given the opportunity to have
made it thus far. I am proud to serve my country through this humble career field as a Registered
Nurse. I owe a large debt of gratitude to my leadership in the United States Air Force for giving
me the opportunity to obtain my dreams and still have financial freedom. I am very thankful for
my instructors, who have given of themselves their wealth of knowledge and experience to help
produce competent nurses. I hope to make everyone proud.
