Everyone has things that they hope to accomplish by the time their life is over. Having a long term set of goals can help you to stay on track and work towards the things that you hope to achieve. I have been able to come up with a list of goals that I hope to fulfill throughout the course of my life.

1. Being a role model for others

I hope that I can be a role model to at least one person in my life. Whether it is my child, a coworker, or friend, I want to be able to impact the lives of others by empowering them to be their best.

2. Having a successful career

Whether we want to admit it or not, working ends up being a large part of our life. I hope to make it more enjoyable by finding a job that I love and am great at. I hope to become a nurse one day and continue to strive for better in my career.

3. Having a family one day

A long time from now, I would like to be able to have a happy marriage and be able to be a mother. Family is very important to me, so I would like to have a little family of my own to nurture and take care of. I want to be able to give love to my husband and my children.

4. See more of the world

In my short almost 19 years of life, I have not been able to see much of the world. I have not even been out of the country. I want to be able to find away to explore more of what this world has to offer and step out of my own culture.

5. Be less fearful

I am someone who lives in constant fear of just about anything that is out of my comfort zone, so I would like to eventually be able to continuously try new things, even if it seems impossible.

6. Show kindness every day

I want to be able to let kindness guide my words and actions, even on days that it seems impossible to do so. I want to be able to make others happy and help them in any way that I possibly can.

7. Strive to learn new things

Finishing my undergraduate career will not be the end of my education. I want to be able to continue to go back to school as long as I can afford it. Even if I don't end up going back to school, I hope to learn new things just from new experiences in life.

8. Lead a happy life

I want to be irrevocably and unapologetically happy. Though some days will be hard and challenges will constantly be thrown my way, I hope to be able to overcome them and find happiness in the small things.

These are just a few of my never ending list of goals. As my life continues, I hope to accomplish these goals as well as add new ones to the list. I don't want to be fixed in these goals, but always striving to do more. I hope to be able to look back at the end of my life and see that I was able to do these things.
