I have many goals but I have learned to prioritize. My goal is to become a microbiologist, an actress,a nuclear engineer and a journalist. I plan to pass my matric, go to university, and study very hard to archieve all my academic qualifications.Education is important to reach my goals because if I do not go to school and learn, I will become what never planned to become. I plan on making sure that there are no destructions between my studies, so that I do not lose any year or repeat the same course.

hello Paula

We all know that education is the key to success and knowledge is power.Without education we stand no chance in the up growing nation.

My short term goal is to finish matric with *** or examtion no exception.

I plan to achieve them by studieng hard and putting my focus on 1 thing,books.

My long term goal is go to med school and do my MBCHB Degree.It will take me 6 years to complet it but you know what they say "if you want something bad,you will practically do anything to get it".

I plan to work hard,be patient and research much about it so that I wont have any regrets about my chosen career.

Hi Paula
My long term goal is to become an electrical engineer,and education is very important because that is my only foundation in everything.I plan on archieving my goal by working hard and saving time.I believe that is the only formulae to success.Either than the goal that I have mentioned,I would realy like to become a professional cricket player.That has been my goal ever since I was 6years old.But one fact still remain,education is the key to all.Inthat way,Iwill have something to fall back on whenever life throws a challange.

As everyone wants to be something in life you have to study and go to school.My goal is to be a surgeon and a practitioner at the same time.I am going to achieve my goal by making sure that i study very hard and i achieve good results at the end of my matric.The is a saying that says education is the key to success this saying implies thatif you are willing to learn and work hard anything you want in life you will achieve it no matter what the challanges are.So what i am trying to say is that going to school is very important because when you set a goal you are looking at your strength and weakness and again what you are good at.

Dear Paula
In my life I have many goals.The first one is to pass my grade 12 next year in 2008,then attend my tertiary level at MEDUNSA.I will study medicine at medunsa then be a medical doctor.I am willing to be doctor a lot because I want to help my nation.
my intention on how I achieve goal,is that I work hard during my tertiary level at MEDUNSA so that I can achieve my goal.
Through the knowledge of my understanding education is a key of success in the coming future,the reason I say so is that a person without education nowadays is nothing because he/she wont be employed because of no qualifications.

As they say that in life everyone has their own goals that they want to achieve.I recon myself as one of those because I too have many goals that I would truly like to achieve.My goals seem to be interesting and very important to my country because with them my country will be a better one of them all.My goals are to be a Civil Engineer,Chemical Engineer,Cmputer Engineer,Mechanical Engineer,Geologist and biochemist.I am going to achieve my goals by working hard and showing full commitment to my studies.By taking the tough work as one of my challanges.Education is very important to me reaching my goals because I take it as the key to my goals and success.I see myself going nowhere without the the education that is why it is important to me reaching my goals.

hello
The goals which I have set for myself in life are mostly determined by how well I do in school,which are becoming a geologist or psychologist one day.Many people in this country are illiterate or uneducated which causes a major problem of unemployment which eventually leads to crime.However this can decrease if people can get education.So education is not only important to me in order to reach my goals but to everyone else out there.In order to reach our goals and make our dreams a reality we have to go to school and get educated to make this world a better place to live in.

lucia said...

Dear Paula
As a grade 11 learner,the goals that I have is being a nurse,an artist,an architect or a journalist.
I plan to achieve my goals by reading,searching information concerning my goals and by being committed to what I will be studying and learning all about.
Education is a very important thing in my life because without education you can'not do anything unless you are creative in doing the artistic work.Education is important in reaching my goals because it helps me in knowing more what goals are all about.

Hello...
My goals are, I see myself in the future becoming a Health nurse practioner or doing firt aid and I think that's a good start for me because that's something that I realy like to do helping my fellow south africans.

The other thing is to achieve my goals i will need to plan for that,but firstly I need to be responsible for my studies and make sure that i have good result and have good perfomance in everything that i do.

Education is important to me as a leaner, because there's a lot of things that i gain from being educated and it also help me because it teaches me which ways to follow in order to achieve my goals and i think aducation is fun.
