My Goals/Bucket List

My Goals/Bucket List

By: Brian Seda

            There are a number of long-term goals that I have in my lifetime. If I had to narrow down my long-term goals to three main goals they would be to buy a home, obtain my dream job, and to start a family. My fist goal of buying a home has always been one of my long-term goals. Hopefully I am able to buy my first home before I am 30 years old. I have always wanted to be able to maintain and care for a home that I can call my own. My second long-term goal is to obtain my dream job. My dream job is to work for either the St. Louis Cardinals or the Green Bay Packers. I would like to obtain this job by the time I am 25 years old. I would like to work in the management department of one of these sports teams. My last long-term goal is to start a family. I know that this is a very cheesy goal, but I think that having kids would be great. I would love to be able to have a family that is as close as my family is now. I think that family is one of the most important things in the world.

            My one goal that is extremely important to me here in college is how I can obtain my dream job. My three goals that would go under my main goal of obtaining my dream job would be to graduate with a 3.25 GPA or higher, set up a summer internship at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, and to graduate in 4 years from college. I can obtain these goals by working hard and trying to get the very best grades possible in my classes. It is also important that I am involved in things outside of the classroom. I am currently a member of the baseball club and I am already on two intermural teams.

            I have three short-term goals here in college. My first short-term goal is to have a GPA above 3.25 in my first semester of college. I can achieve this goal by working hard on my homework and being well prepared for all of my quizzes and exams. My second short-term goal is to make the spring baseball team. I can achieve this goal by playing my very best in the fall games and by putting in extra work in the batting cage and field. My last short-term goal is to get an A in my Sociology 134 class. I can achieve this goal by adequately studying for my exams and by taking good notes. I feel that if I can achieve these three short-term goals it will help be obtain my long-term goals as well.

            There are a number of things that I would like to do before I die. The first thing that I would like to do before I die is to go to Hawaii and learn how to surf. I feel that this would be a very fun and exciting trip. Next I would like to visit all of the major league baseball parks. It would be fun to see all of the venues and visit all of the different cities that major league teams play in. Another thing on my bucket list is to go to all of the home football and basketball games in my four years here at Iowa State. The last thing on my bucket list is to graduate with a degree in management and a minor in sports recreation from Iowa State.

            I have a variety of goals and different things on my bucket list that I would like to achieve. I know that I will have to work extremely hard to accomplish all of these things. Iowa State is my first step towards achieving these goals and dreams. Iowa State will provide me with the education needed to reach my life goals and dreams.
