My goals in high school are:
1. graduate, I want to graduate because I want a good job so I can go to college and get an even better job so I can support my family.
2. Accually get a job so I can have money and go out and buy my own things.
3. Get good grades in school so I gan graduate and then that leads to my first goal and so far they are all connected.
4. Work on all of my problems because I have a lot of problems nd they will not help me along my way to having a good life.
5. Make lots of friends, because friends make me happy and help me with my goals

“When will people look into my eyes take a step in my shoes? Experience all my cries with everything I do? ‘Cause I am sick of all the lies that come from your lips, you say this you say that but you know it needs to quit. My patience is running low see I got to go. I am like a bomb ticking trying to stick it or flick it….” I want to make a CD of my raps before I graduate high school. I have been rapping since I was 12 and enjoy doing it. I try to write a rap every day. I am looking around for someone who can help me put together some background music and actually record it.
I would like to become really good at longboarding. I longboard everyday and am getting better. I am the type of person who likes to “go big or go home.” I like to do the extreme things; I would like to get good enough to be able to go down the Provo canyon.
I have been in foster care for 9 and half years and have not been in a foster home for more than 6-7 months. My goal is to be in a permanent home before I graduate high school. I would like to live with my old foster parents who now live in Arizona.
I got a pink camera for Christmas this last year and have enjoyed making little movie clips. I would like to complete a full movie. It will be an outrageously humorous video.
I have 266 hours to complete and would like to get them done before I graduate high school. I love to help others and stuff like that so it isn’t really a burden for me. I need to get them done for my court.

My first goal I want to accomplish this year is to get a job. I want to start saving a lot of money for the future, and get more work experience. I am going to start filling out applications for different places and hope that I can get hired. After I get a job then I want to keep it for at least 3 months.
My second goal is to finish foster care and move on to independent living. This is probably one of the more important ones to me in my life. I need to work very hard to reach this goal and I know that I can. I need to save some money, go to school, and stay out of trouble.
My next goal is to graduate early. If I graduate early then I can get out of foster care that much sooner and move on my own. I’m not that far behind and if I work hard I can be done by January. I just need to do lots of extra credit, and stay caught up.
This next goal is really random but I want to read at least 50 books this year. I really don’t know why I want to do this, but I think it’s a good goal. I love to read, and can finish a book really fast. Im hoping this can get me into other books that maybe I never would have read before. I know I can do it.
My very last goal is to save 2,000 dollars by the time I finish high school. So that is actually really soon.

Ok so I am supposed to tell you all my goals. First I would really like to graduate. I have 13 credits left and I am dedicated to doing it! I came to this school with only 4 credits and now being a senior I am ready to work even harder this year. I am going to memorize poetry, go to plays, read books, and do packets along with passing all my classes. I am going to graduate.
Another goal I have is to get a car. I finally got my permit after taking the test 6 times. I get my license October 31st and I hope to have a car by then. I have been going to A1 and practicing driving. I really want to get a Toyota Tacoma but I won’t get that for a long time. So in the mean time I am going to get a little Geo Metro. It is 600 dollars, just in my price range, ha ha!
For my 3rd goal I would like to become a dance teacher. I have been dancing since 3rd grade and it’s my passion. I would love to teach others what I love to do. Everything about it makes me happy, the music, and the beat, moving your body, and just going crazy. I have a neighbor that has a dance studio in her basement and I might be an assistant teacher until I have my own dance studio. I have a dance studio of my own.
I would have to say another goal I have is to get the summit award. The best way for me to get that is just to be there for everyone and just to do things nice for everyone. Pretty much I need to make a difference at summit and be a positive influence to everyone. I love summit and love making friends so I hope this year I can make a big enough difference to be able to get the summit award.
Now for my last goal I would have to say I would like to get into my own place. I cant get that until I graduate.

Goals
1. I want to graduate high school with a diploma. This will make it easier for me to get a job in the future. It also makes you look good when there’s an interview you have to go to. Not many people in my family have graduated. So if I make it through. It will mean a lot to my family. The only way that I can make it is by staying focused and working hard.
2. I want to make enough money to get a car and an apartment. I will have to get a job and save up my money. The reason that I want a car is because it’s easier to get around when you have to get somewhere. And a home I want because I need somewhere to live when I get out of the system. Plus I need to live on my own because there’s too much trouble at home with my mom’s.
3. I want to stay out of the system and anything else that will hold me back.

To pass all my classes is one of my main goals I would like to accomplish. In the past few years I have been lacking to pay attention and to do all my homework. This year I want to do the opposite of that and get almost like all A’s or at least better then C’s. I’m going to pay attention in all of my classes and learn how to do everything. I will also try as hard as I can to keep up on my homework.
I would also like to get better at reading. I need to do better in English class to do this. When we are reading in class I need to pay attention and listen to all the big words. One way to learn the words so I can understand books are to write down all the words as we are reading and then look up the words later.
Another goal is that I would like to learn how to speak another language. In some colleges I would like to look at you have to be able to speak another language to attend the school. To do this I need to take some other classes at another school so I can learn it. I am probably looking at speaking Spanish since it’s getting so common around here.
One of my favorite goals I would like to complete is to start taking Pilot lessons. A couple of years ago my dad took us flying at the U.V.U pilot school. We got to take control up in the air and kind of fly around. Then last year for my birthday I took two friends flying with me and I got to fly around more. Ever since I would love to get my pilot’s license and I can get it when I turn 16.
My final goal is to just graduate high school! By doing all of my other goals it will help me accomplish this goal. After I accomplish this one I can start going to college and take my life further. I’m just going to pay attention in school so I pass all of my classes and some what get ahead in credits then I will graduate!

One of my goals I want to accomplish before I graduate would be to catch up on credits. If and when I catch up on credits, I can graduate on time. Then I would be given the opportunity to walk with my class. To make all of that happen, I’ve got to study hard and pass all of my classes.
My second goal I plan to achieve would to be able to go home. I would love to be placed at home so I’m with family. If I were not in a program, then I wouldn’t have to focus on all the proctor issues. I can focus on school work. My idea to accomplish all of that would be to follow all the rules in my program and not get into any trouble.
My third goal I wish to accomplish is to make new friends at this new school I’m at. I’d love to take some kind of breaks from all my schooling and have a social life. I understand to not allow my social life to take over my whole life. The way to have my goal met is to be interactive and talk and be friendly but not get too obsessed.
My fourth goal I wish to make happen would be to actually graduate! I know it’s going to take a lot of work and extra effort. I may have little to no credits but I’m going to have to crack down and become a “nerd” to get where I want to be so I can become the firefighter I want to be.
My fifth and final goal I want to make happen would be to make my attendance better than its been the past few years. I plan to get up every morning on time and get ready and not miss my bus. I know I’ve got to go to bed at a decent hour so I get enough sleep. I wish to have good attendance because if I have good attendance then I’ll be in school to pay more attention and actually learn something and qualify to make my expectancy of my grades. Then I’ll be able to catch up on credits so I can graduate. So this final goal ties up with the rest.

My first goal would be to get my drivers license. I have been slacking on it for two years now. Life is so much easier when you don’t have to depend on other people to drive you around. I’ve started the process of getting it so hopefully I’ll be driving very soon.
My second goal is to get a job. I’ve never had a job so getting one would help a lot with responsibility and independence. I don’t just want to get any job though. I would like to get a job that I would enjoy doing.
My third goal is take my GED. This can give me extra credits and will let me know where I am at and what I need to work on. It’s a general education so I could start using it now.
My fourth goal would be graduating high school. It’s a little unrealistic because I am so behind. Working to toward it and doing what I can will pay off though. I can go on and eventually get my adult diploma in the future.
And my fifth goal, of course is to find a college to go to. I’m not exactly sure what I want to get my degree in yet, but I can start on my generals. That way I won’t be stuck doing them when I decide what I would like to do.
