On a Path to Success
College & Career Goals
​
​
My current goal is to try to maintain the level of academic success that I have been able to achieve so far. It's not only important to me to do well, but I truly want to continue learning more and I want to retain as much information as I can. I have wanted the opportunity to go back to college for so long that it is very meaningful for me to be here. I want to make the most of it. I have been brainstorming sustainable ways of making this happen to prevent burn out and to try to maintain a certain level of balance within my life. This can be very challenging with the amount of time that I need to put into my studies for the results that I strive for, but important to me.
​
​
I have been trying to work minimally as I want to stay on track with my academic goals. The debt unfortunately builds up so fast. If I do not find additional financial assistance then I will be forced to work more which will undoubtedly, negatively impact my college experience.
​
​
It's important to me to complete my college education with integrity. I plan to obtain my Bachelor of Science by June 2024. I would like to obtain my Graduate degree consecutively following completion of my BS. I am aware that I need to apply to multiple graduate school programs as the cohorts are small. It is important to me to stay in Oregon for the completion of my Master's degree. My goal is to be a counselor for low-income women and people of the LGBTQIA2S+ community in the Eugene/Springfield area of Oregon. I look forward to networking throughout my graduate school experience to work toward meeting potential connections within the field of counseling.
​
​
​
Staying connected within the community is important to me. My current volunteer goal is to continue with my position on the Eugene Advisory Council for Kaiser Permanente, which began in 2021. Through collaboration, we work as a team to create a positive impact. I will continue to seek additional volunteer opportunities as time allows. For example, I plan to apply to volunteer at Eugene's Hope & Safety Alliance in the future.

Working While in College
College Career
I will continue to apply for potential scholarships and to seek additional opportunities. I will also continue to maintain my FAFSA application annually to obtain the grants and student loans that I qualify for. This potential financial assistance will make the difference between being provided an opportunity to utilize my full potential toward my college career or being forced to work more which will take away from my college studies. I am very grateful for these potential opportunities.
Personal Goals
A personal goal of mine, as I continue my college journey, is to make time for the things that I truly enjoy. It's so important to find balance within life no matter how busy our schedules are. Sometimes much easier said than done. I have been working on looking at time management through a new perspective.
​
As some examples I include within my busy schedule, time for yoga, artistic outlets where my creativity can thrive such as painting, writing, and photography, as well as time in nature, amongst other potential opportunities.
