Self Goals
In order to be a teacher, there
are some achievements that I have to attain.
Get a Bachelor
Degree (De Anza College
à
San Jose State University)
I missed the
time I should have finished my education in university ten years
ago. Now it¡¦s time for me to complete it. It takes time and money,
but it¡¦s worthy. I have been enjoying school life and learning more
and more. I will major in Liberal Arts and Child Development.
Get the Best
Grades
If I want to be a teacher, I
have to have a minimum grade of C. It¡¦s not hard to pass the class,
but it takes more effort to get an A. I will go for it, not only for
the grades but also what I can learn the most and best from the
classes I take.
