My goal is to graduate with my BA.GS with a
concentration in Child and Adolescent Development from
SNHU. This degree will help me determine if I want to be a
full-time teacher (committing 30 years) and pursue the option of
opening up a facility that allows kids with disabilities transition
from school into adulthood. What is driving me to succeed in
accomplishing this goal is my younger brother. He is special
needs (EBD, OHI, and MOID), who I believe were mishandled
while in school. His learning needs weren’t meet, and he wasn’t
given a transition plan as he should have received before
completing high school in 2017. To achieve my goal that to
become a full-time teacher and have the goal in my mind, I have
prepared the academic plan that would lead me to my settled or
planned goal. I have made a five-step academic plan that
underlays the basis for the achievement of my personal and
professional goals. The five steps academic program is as
follows; I will break my goal into different categorize and then
separately set schedules for each task or category. I will

2. prioritize tasks based on their importance, date, or need. I will
set specific time and date for each task that would lead me
towards my goal. Without showing laziness, I will complete
each settled task consistently on time. Manage time to recover
while achievement of these goals, whenever I will fall into a
stretch zone, I will manage time to recover myself physically
and mentally to restart my struggle for goal achievement.
The goal to study with BA.GS is to become a full-time teacher
or to pursue the option of opening up a facility that helps kids
with disabilities transition from school into adulthood. I want to
facilitate kids with disabilities transition from school because I
feel like these kids are a neglected part of our society. Our
schools need to understand the special needs of this child, and
this is what motivates me to become a teacher for those who
need special care and understanding while in school. Measures
that I have decided for the successful completion of my goal. I
have selected both short term and long-term measures to
achieve my goals. These measures are a combination of my
personal and professional goals in a manner. Short-term
measure #1: Keeping a planner and making sure assignments are
completed between Tuesday and Thursday of each week until
Fall 2021 Short-term measure #2: Pass this course with a B
average by April 2020 Long-term measure #1: Become a
certified teacher in the State of Georgia by May 2022
Long-term measure #2: Graduate from SNHU with my Bachelor
of Arts degree in General Studies by October 2021
I know to achieve these goals, I will have to take action, and
resources would be required for achievement. The most
favorable action I need to take is to stay direct consistent
towards my goal. Furthermore, resources include expenses for
studies, fees, and related expenses. To come on time for every
test and assignment are little but important actions that would
decide the future of my goal. To study the BA.GS is my goal
and is relevant to my passion and future profession. After
researching, I want to be a successful individual child-teacher,
and I am personally motivated to achieve this goal. We all have

3. a life purpose, like of me, to become a successful special child
education provider, and I am realistically motivated towards it.
My estimated time needed to achieve my goal is two years and
four months to achieve my goal of being an educator.
