5 Goals

Get a car is my first goal. Because when I have a car I will be able to go anywhere. Also having a car will make me more responsible, by working to keep it. And I love cars so I would get something I enjoy. It will also help me to learn more about fixing cars.

My second goal is to get a lot of money. Because if I get a lot of money I will be able to pay a lot of the stuff that I want. Like a car, clothes, collage. Money will help me accomplish a lot of my other goals. And if I accomplish my goal for going to collage the money that I get from that I could help tons of kids that don’t have money.

My third goal is to get straight A’s. because if I get straight A’s I will accomplish going to a good collage. Also to prove to people that thought that I was dumb that I can get good grades. It will help me to by proving myself I could do anything

My fourth goal is to stop drugs. Because it will be very good for my health because I get really sick when I do them. Also because there really dumb and make me do dumb things like go steal and fight. I would also take away all the bad people I know so I wont be with back stabbing people.

My last goal is to not get in trouble. Because that would help me save money and not waste it on tickets. Also to not get hurt like get jumped because I could die one day. And it will make me feel better because I believe in karma and I don’t want stuff coming back to me.

These are my five goals.
My first goal is to get out of the juvenile system.this is one of my goals because ive been in the system since I was 11 years old. I don’t want to have to deal with judges, probation officers or nothing like that. It sucks when you have check in before you can do anything.

My second goal is to get out of my proctor home. I have been there for almost 7 months. The people I live with are cool but no matter where you are, your always going to want to be with your real family.

My third goal is to stop getting locked up. Its just a wast of life and time. I’ve been locked up to many times to count.there isnt anything cool about it. It just makes you feel like a dog in a cage. People just forget about you. No visits, letters, you cant even where your own clothes.

My fourth goal is to get a job.robbing people gets quick money, but you can’t do it forever eventually your going to get caught. It doesn’t matter how sly, slick and wicked you think you are.you’ll end up slipping up and make a mistake.and all you can do after that is sit in D.T. and count bricks.

My last goal is to graduate from high school on time. I missed a lot of school and I got to make up a lot of credits. I regret not paying attention before. Now I feel stupid because I don’t know what I was supposed to learn in 7th grade. It just adds more stress than needed.

Goals
1. I want to establish a better relationship with peers that I don’t like very much. A. Why I want to do this is because I believe that I would have a easier time with situations that I would get aggravated with. I would also know who I can talk to when I need to talk to someone without having a limit based on racism or prejudiced about who other people are or what they look like. B. How I plan to do this is I want to talk to a lot of people and get to know who they are and what I can talk to them about without them getting annoyed. I also want to be friends with most everyone because I want as much support in what to do as I can get and allow myself to get a better perspective of what should happen.

2. I want to get ahead in credits and graduate early. A. Why I want to do this is because I would get out of high school early and be able to take college classes so I can get further in schooling before I really have to do anything about it. I also want to because I would get a certain amount of funds for college depending on how early I finished high school. B. How I plan on doing this is I want to get packets for a few of the essential classes so I can finish their credit and I want to read and do the packets for eight books. I also want to be able to take classes just for elective so that everything would count for it.

3. I want to get a 3.7 GPA for the rest of high school. A. Why I want to accomplish this is because I want to be able to get accepted into almost any college that I want to go to or apply to. I also want something to tell other people that I work hard and that I get the job done when I’m given the time to. I want people to know that I will work when something arises. B. How I want to do this is I will work on my homework for 2-3 hours a day or until all of my homework is completed. I will also study for my classes so that I know what were doing instead of just barely knowing anything about it.

5 Goals

One of my first goals would have to be graduating high school. That’s what im really focused on right now. So that’s why im trying have good attendance and good grades plus I probably might even go to college but im not really sure yet though.

My second goal would have to be to do my best in this program that I am in. It’s a program, which It almost like being locked up but u still get a lot of privileges. I like it so far its not so bad but I would still like to get out of it and live on my own.

Third goal would have to be actually getting a job and also getting an apartment. I want to start trying to live on my own which isn’t going to be very easy but im going to try my best. A lot of other kids have lived on their own that are about my age so I know I can do it.

Fourth goal is that I would like to go back to California and visit my dad. He just barley got out of jail, he was in for like six months. So I really want to go see him and I also haven’t even been able to visit or even call him and say hi so kind of sucks. Hopefully I get to see him sooner or later.

My fifth and last goal would have to be go back to Mexico and California and visit all my other family because I haven’t seen them all for a long time. So some day I know I will go back and see them and especially my aunt because she use to take care of me when I was very young and I love her for that, I also had a broken leg at that time.

5 Goals

My first goal would be to get school done with. I am about three to four years behind in school. I am thinking that I might just drop out and get my GED. That way I am able to start college sooner and get started on what I would like to do with my life.

My second goal is to save money. I would like to save money because I have a lot of things that in order for me to get I need money. I would like to get an apartment by December. I would like to get a car as soon as possible. I am going to get a job and put almost all of my money in savings in order to complete this goal.

My third goal is to stay out of lock up. I am going to stay out of lock up by avoiding dangerous situations, such as, drugs, theft, and fighting. Those are my struggles and why I have been to lock up in the past. If I stay away from those things, I will stay out of lock up.

My fourth goal is to read “ Tweaked” by December, I have heard that that book is very good and I would love to read it. It is about a lady who is addicted to meth and she has a child. It is about how she goes threw struggles to get clean and be a good mother to her child.

My fifth goal is to continue to get clean UA’s. I am going to get clean Ua’s by staying away from my old drug dealers and my old friends. I need to stay clean so that I can get out of the system and move out on my own.

My first goal is to go for the whole school year with out getting in a fight. This is one of my goals because ever since 6 grade I’ve been getting in fights. Till now its been happening. So I’m going to try to not get into any kind of conflicts or arguments. It is going to be hard. Doing some thing I’ve been doing for a while but I can do it.

My second goal is to get good grades. I haven’t got good grades since 5 grade. And if I start paying attention and go to school and do my assignments I can do better. Part of the reason that I haven’t been getting good grades is because I wouldn’t go. And if I did I wouldn’t pay attention or just walk the halls looking for some thing to do. But I’m going to start going to school and stop messing around.

My third goal is to go home. Being in a propter home sucks. I can do nothing up here. It is boring and the worst I’m not with the family and my friends. It still feels weird sleeping in other people home. But what I’m going to do is keep doing what I’m doing now. Because what I’m doing now is working. I get home visits and a little more privileges. So I’m really trying to get this goal.

The fourth goal is to stay out of detention. For some people it takes them like 9 times to go to detention and say they don’t like it. It took me two times and I would be mad if I went back. Any kind of lock up facilities I hate. It can have a different name but they all the same. So I’m not going back no matter what. So I’ll just be careful on what I do and where I am so won’t go back again.

My last goal is to graduate and walk with my class. In my family only like 2 people have graduated. And I want to graduate so I can do good and get some money in my pocket. If I graduate I bet my parents would be proud. To go threw all this and still make yeah they be proud. Even I’ll be proud and surprise. But to do this I just got to do my first goal. This is my most important goal.

Goal one: To graduate from high school with a 4.0.
I want to graduate so I can get a good paying job to show that I can be independent and take care of myself. I also want to so I can not only be street smart but also book smart too. I’m going to graduate by going to class on time everyday and doing activities at school. I’m just going to make this my best year ever.

Goal Two: Is to stay clean and sober and have fun the right way.
I want to do this because DRUGS have done nothing but screw my family and my life up. It’s really important to me because people change when they’re on drugs. If anything I learned in foster care is that it’s not worth it. I just have hurt the ones I loved the most. I’m going to stay clean by staying away from negative influences. And just talking about my struggles in drug therapy.

Goal three: Is to go to MATC and get my CNA
Because I want to be a nurse I was an N.A. before and I loved it. I just love the feeling it gives me when I help people. I’m going to do this by getting in the class in September. And by just studying to finish it up and get it.

Goal four: Is to go home in December or before that. Because my mom needs my help the most right now. I miss being home with my family and my little sisters. I’m going to do this by following all the rules in my foster home and just doing everything I’m suppose to.

Goal five: My goal is to go to college and get my LN in the summer.
Because I want more money than minimum wage. School is really important in my life. I want to be the first to graduate in my family! I’m going to do this by studying in school and graduating high school.
