MY ACADEMIC,PROFESSIONAL,
AND PERSONAL GOALS

💙🌴🤙🌊💚
 B A C K G R O U N D O N M E : N E Y VA 🍓
I am a junior at TAMUCC who graduated high school with an associate’s
degree. I wanted to become a cardiovascular surgeon or work in the ED and
become an ASL interpreter. When I am old and retired, I want to open a
bakery and own at least two Shiba Inus and one calico cat. I love theatre,
reading, and fantasizing about owning a Shiba.

• Self Development is the act of actively trying to make yourself a better

person on a day to day basis. You need to assess who you are often
and make plans to improve that person. 
• Persistence is the ability to continue doing something that you are
interested in, no matter the hardships that come up along the way.
• Skillfulness is the want to continually improve the skills that you know,
learn new ones, and the ability to be able to apply these skills daily.
• Open-mindedness is the ability to think about topics in another light
and from someone else’s point of view. Further, the acknowledgment
that the manner that you think or were brought up is not always correct.
• Independence is the ability to be able to support your self and be able
to make choices for yourself by yourself in your best interests. I feel that
this is most important when addressing finances and life decisions.

PERSONAL
GROWTH 🎓
• Goal: I want to become a part of the medical
field, so I must get my Ph.D. as a doctor.

• Short-term: I will continue shadowing doctors,

doing internships, and graduate from
TAMUCC to go to medical school at UAG.

• Medium-term: I will attend medical school,

start my residency, and take every opportunity
that is given to travel as a medical resident.

• Long-term: I must graduate from medical

school, earn a job as a doctor, and continue
to learn every day at my job.

• Persistence is a value that aligns with this goal

as this will not be an easy journey, but I
cannot let the hard times hinder me from
achieving my dreams.
🌊E M P L O Y M E N T 🏥
• Goal: I strive to be a high achiever in every
job that I occupy over my lifetime.
• Short-term: Currently, I work with UCP on
campus. I want to make sure that our social
media pages are interacted with more often
and that UCP radio is something students
look forward to.
• Medium-term: As an ASL interpreter, I want
the person that I am translating and
interpreting for to feel comfortable and
understood when I am working with them.
• Long-term: As a doctor, either in the ED or
as a surgeon, I need both the other staff and
the patients to trust me a hundred percent. I
want to be the kind of doctor that people
ask for.
• All these goals line up with self-development
and me wanting to be able to reach for the
stars in any field I am in. I want to become a
better worker every day that I am on the job.
💚 F A M I LY
R E L AT I O N S 🇲🇽
• Goal: Truly, I want my parents and pets to be glad
that I am their daughter and to be proud of me.
• Short-term: I will call my mom every day and visit her
about every three weeks as well as update her on
how I’m doing at school so she can advise me. As for
my dog, I make sure he stays warm, goes out on
walks, and is generally happy.
• Medium-term: In the future, I want to adopt a Shiba
Inu as I feel that it would make me feel like I’ve
started my own family as I don’t want kids. When I
graduate, I want to buy my mom her dream car to
thank her for all she’s done for me.
• Long-term: In the future, I want my parents to feel
welcomed to visit me during the holidays and still
call every day. Although I will not be able to visit as
often, I want them to know that I’m working hard for
them. 
• Independence plays a significant role in my family
relations. As a busy college student, sometimes I
forget that I’m still a daughter, and I often have to
find a balance between being independent and still
having a good relationship with my family.

WELLBEING 👟
• Goal: My goal is to stay fit throughout every stage
of life that I am going through.

• Short-term: I need to go to work at the Dugan at

least three times a week for about forty-five
minutes.

• Medium-term: During the summer, I am going to

get a gym membership in my hometown and go to
the gym at least four times a week for an hour. I
also want to start jogging in the morning.

• Long-term: Once I start medical school, I will go to

the gym three times a week for an hour and use
this time as a stress reliever.

• Skillfulness is always very important when you’re

going to the gym. Every day, you learn something
new, and it’s not always enjoyable, but you have to
be able to embrace the exercises and integrate
them into your workout.
🌴 R E C R E AT I O N 🎭
• Goal: I need to implement more recreation in my
calendar. I study too long and worry too much.

• Short-term: In March, Nintendo will be releasing

Animal Crossing so I will make it a point to play
for at least 30 minutes a day. I also want to read
one book at least every two weeks to unwind.

• Medium-term: In the summer, I want to make

time to do theatre again. I miss it dearly and
always insist that woking is more important, but I
yearn to be on stage again.

• Long-term: Over time, I want to be able to think

of recreation as something that is necessary and
not brush it off as something that is a waste of
time.

• Open-mindedness has always been one of my

values that applies to other people, but this goal
will take a lot of open-mindedness toward myself
because I often shrug off recreation as a want,
but I’ve found that it’s a need.
🤙I N T I M AT E
R E L AT I O N S H I P S 💌
• Goal: I want to have a healthy, happy
relationship with the person that I spend the rest
of my life with.

• Short-term: Be more social and talk to people

because a relationship needs to start from a
friendship or so, I think.

• Medium-term: Start making plans with the

person that I am in love with as I will soon move
out of Corpus Christi to attend medical school
and do my residency.

• Long-term: Settle down in a nice, small home

with my significant other, our Shiba Inus, and our
calico cat. Then, we will live happily ever after.

• Although it seems ironic, I think that

independence is a big part of relationships. You
need to be able to love yourself, accept yourself,
and understand that you are your own person
before you start falling for someone else.
🌊F R I E N D S H I P S 🎎
• Goal: Make life long friendships that I will cherish
throughout life and be the friend that everyone
can trust.

• Short-term: I want to continue the friendship that

I’ve had for eleven years with my best friend and
visit him often. At TAMUCC, I want to make one
good friend that I can talk to every day.

• Medium-term: Over the summer, I want to hang

out with my high school friends. It’s difficult
making plans 100 miles away, but I’d like to get
close to them again.

• Long-term: In medical school and my career, I’d

like to have people that I trust and can go out to
lunch with. I’d also like to still run a streak with my
best friend and see him on Broadway one day!

• I think self-development is a very important value

in friendships as they’re always changing. People
are always moving and becoming better people.
As their friend, you need to be able to grow with
them and be a good friend to them.
