In one year my goal is to be an A+ student, or at the least a B+ student. I would also liked to be organized and complete my work ahead of time. By next year I will be 16 so it will be time to look for a job. A employee at a local shopping market or maybe even a pet store would be sufficient. I would save half of my profits, for a car or college. By next year I hope my sister returns from florida, where she is currently enrolled in a disney internship. My dreams in the next year would most likely be to, acquire some new friends and be settled into my new apartment.
In eight years I will be twenty three, practically an adult. My goals would most likely be to have a steady job, where I could get enough money to pay off any loans, I have from college or for the rent for an apartment. I would like to have a small apartment, close to the college I would attend. I would like to be working an internship, beneficial for my future job as an author. I would hope to be able to see my family on occasion and be a 3.8 averaged student. My dreams may include having a poem or story published in a major magazine or book.
In twenty years, I would be thirty five. By then my goals would be to sustain enough money to support my family and to save. I would want to save up for a house, that would last a long period of time. As a career it would be ideal, with my personality, to be an author. I hope my books would be popular and be bringing in a fair amount of money. My dreams would probably be to have enough money saved in my retirement fund, to be able to settle down when I reach the age when you can no longer work.

Goals, plans, hopes, and dreams continue to change throughout our lives. So maybe when I am older. These dreams and goals may not have made me happy. Maybe I would want to be a painter by the time I chose a college. Maybe I would never have children. But its all up to me. If I put effort into my hopes and dreams they will eventually come true.

In one year, I hope to have better work ethics and I also would hope that I am much more advanced in my music writing. In eight years, I would like to have majored in pastoral leadership and minored in music theory education at Liberty University in Virginia. I hope that I can survive college long enough to achieve a master's degree! I want to, at that point, find a steady job and buy a small house or rent a nice apartment. Twenty years is quite a while from now. A goal I have is to be a youth pastor or music pastor. And if that doesn't work out, I want to be a high school music theory teacher. I would also like to have a family in twenty years. I know for a fact that plans and dreams always change, so my aspirations are only temporary. My only dream that will never change is the hope that one day I will be living my life to the fullest! Every second is worth while.

I have many hopes and dreams for my future. In one year I hope to earn a 4.0 grade point average by studying and going to extra help frequently. I also want to tryout and join, the cross country, basketball, and lacrosse team. I currently have a job and in one year I hope to continue this job throughout the school year and the summer. Eventually, I want to go to college in Syracuse and play basketball. I would like to study and become a speech teacher for Elementary grades. I would want to provide my family with every need while supporting a stable job. I hope to achieve these goals and aspirations between now and twenty years to come.

In one year i hope to be a junior and be a very good student. I hope to take the SAT's and do well. I have trained very hard not only for the SAT's but for school as well. In eight years I hope to graduate from Stony Brook University and earn good grades. My goal has been to attend Stony Brook University for a very long time and i hope to accomplish that goal. In twenty years I try to become a dentist and a father or something in the medical field. My dream is to be a millionaire that has the money to go around the world.

In one year, I hope to have accomplished getting a 4.0 and I would like to be in at least one honors class. I want to try my hardest and go a quarter without missing any school days! I will be in eleventh grade then, so I plan to be on kick line again. I also would like to grow my hair really, really long. In eight years I'll be twenty three. I hope I graduated from a good college and that I know what I would like to do with my life. I'm not so sure yet what college I want to go to, all I really know is that I want to be successful. By this time, I want to have accomplished going to Alaska and traveling to a few other places as well. When I’m twenty three I also want to break a world record! Twenty years go by and I'm thirty five. My goal at this time is to already be married and have at least one kid. I would love for my career to be a high school English teacher or even a middle school teacher. (No I'm not just saying that because you're an English teacher!) But even if I don't become a teacher, I just hope to being something I really love. I also hope to become a kick line coach! My goal is to write a book about my ideas, my life, and how people should live their lives. Although it's completely unlikely, being on Oprah or a talk show in general, is something I really would like to do within my lifetime. I’ve always dreamed of running a marathon (although I‘m horrible at running), skydiving and owning a cat. I plan on not regretting anything I do with my life so I want to accomplish everything I can.

In one year I hope to be an A student entering eleventh grade. I want to be working hard and achieving goals I have for myself. In three months, when I am sixteen, I will be starting my first job as a figure skating instructor for little kids. I want to continue with this job through this year and next year. I also want to begin volunteering at a hospital on the weekends. I am looking forward to this and think it will benefit for me in the future. In eight years I will be about twenty three and hope to be ending four years of college and beginning medical school. My dream career would be to be a Pediatrician. I love working and playing with little kids, and I also want to work in the medical field. I think it would be the perfect career for me. In twenty years I want to be working in my own medical office. I want to be working with many patients and keeping children healthy. I would like to be living some place nice such as North Carolina. I want to begin a family that I can share memoires and experiences with. My goals at this point would to just be happy with what I’m pursuing and to spend time with my family. In the spare time I would love to travel to Italy. I have been there four times already and would love to travel there again. I would want to visit my relatives over there, and stay in touch with my cousins.

In one year, I would like to finish 10th grade with at least a 4.0 average. I would also like to be on the varsity volleyball team by working hard and making every practice count. In eight years, I hope to have the education to be an elementary school teacher. I hope to be ready for a family. Since I am the oldest of seven children, I would like to have a big family. I think a teacher is a perfect job if you want a family. In twenty years, I hope to have a family that I can support and a steady job. I know that whatever happens, happens for a reason and I will always have my faith and God to help me every step of the way!

for some time now i have known what i wanted out of life. i have also known what i want to do with my life; my number1 goal in life is to open a barn. a barn is not only boarding horses no , its giving lessons , meting tons of interesting people, tuning a business and going home everyday and knowing their is going to be something new tomorrow. in a year i will be 16 years old, and i will be going to Wilson tech half the day and studying equine studies. in this year i will be showing more often at horse shows ,and honing my skills as an equestrian. hopefully by that time i will have a job because now i have no money to pay for this expensive sport. in eight years i will be 24 years old. I hopefully will have a job training at a barn or at least working at one while i go to school. i plan to go to an equine collage, and getting my masters in equine studies. Of course by this time i will have been a year graduated and looking to buy property to start a barn. my friend, mentor, trainer, and current employer is jenny guzz (not her full name) she has improved my skill a grate amount for the year i have been training with her, she is possibly the best trainer i have had yet. Jenny's motto is "the way you get good is you ride as many horses as possible, as quick as possible without getting used to one of them" and it works a friend of mine that rides with me has been riding for only 1 year as apose to my 5 years she surpasses me in skill by miles. i think that what jenny seas is true in life to if you want to get good at something just practice as much as you can without quitting. i will be very happy if i am as far along as her by the time i am 24. in 20 years i will be 35 .i will by then have a barn that is at least a 50 horse barn, and a house i hope to be married but i don't want kids... i can't even fathom what i will have experienced by then because before i worry about that i have to get there.

Brooke Brutal x said...

I don't have many goals for the future, because I don't quite know what I want to do with my life. I suppose on one year i'd like to atleast have all c's and to not fail any classes. In eight years, i hope to have successfully graduated a college of any sort with atleast an associate's degree. In twenty years, I'd like to have a nice house, and a large family. My aspirations are to get involved in acting, or something that will make me a lot of money. As far as a career goes, I'm unaware of what i'd like to do, but I would like to have a job in which I can have peircings on my face, because most professional jobs do not allow that. My hopes & dreams are to overall get a good job, and succeed in life.

Nick G said...

In one year I hope to be in eleventh grade. In eight years I hope to have a good job that I enjoy. In twenty years I hope to have a good job, and a house.
My dream is to be general manager of the NY Mets because I know a lot about the players and I love baseball. (plus the GM they have now isn't very good.)

SamanthaB said...

I have many goals for my future that I’d like to think I will achieve. In one year, I want to have good grades and still have all the friends I have now (maybe some new ones.) I’d like to have a part time job so I don’t have to rely on my parents as much, but I don’t know how that’s going to effect my grades. In eight years, I’ll be out of college hopefully and pursuing the career of my choice . I‘m not sure what I want to do yet but I know I want to do something with writing. I’ve always wanted to live in the city with a bunch of my friends while I’m still young so maybe I’ll be living there? In 20 years, I’d like to be settled down with a family. I still want to be happy with my profession and confident in my choices.

Jimmy B said...

In one year, I hope to have gotten straight A's or near that this year and I hope to continue AP and honors classes in the fields of study I'm taking them this year. I hope to do more extracurricular activities to help me get into a good college. I also hope to get faster in doing my work. In eight years, I hope to be in a good math/engineering college. I may want to go to a local one, such as Stony Brook, and I may want to go to a distant one, such as MIT (if I can get accepted). I will apply for a lot of colleges, so if I don't get accepted into either of these two, I may be accepted into another. Unless my college roommate is a close friend, I will probably want to live in an apartment near the college. I will need to get a good part-time job to pay for the apartment, so I hope to have one. I may have already graduated college in eight years, but I may go for longer. In twenty years, I hope to have a good job related to math, engineering, or computers. I hope to be as wealthy as my family is now and maybe have a family.

Gabrielle A. said...

In one year I hope to be a junior with a strait ‘A’ average. In eight years I would have like to graduate from college with good grades and get a job that pays well in the computer engineering field. Lastly in twenty years I hope I already am married and have family of my own.

In one year I hope to be a decent student. I hope to be able to go to Israel over the summer to do community service for 5 weeks. I would hope to be a good student and as a tumbler I would hope to have a full. In 8 years I hope to have an internship in a law firm. I hope to have learned everything I would need to know to be a lawyer. I hope in twenty years that I will be in touch with all my family even the parts I don’t talk to often or at all at the moment. I would hope in twenty years that I would have a family and grand children and that my life is peaceful and happy.

Lauren T. said...

In one year my goal is to maintain good grades in school. I would also like to make some new friends and get to know old friends even better. I would also like to get a job at a store in the mall where I could earn enough money for myself to save up for a car. I also hope that by next year, I would be able to improve on my photography and fashion illustration skills. In eight years, I will be twenty three. By then, I would hope to be a graduate from some college in New York City (most likely F.I.T.) and have an apartment there. I would like to have a steady job where I would make enough money to live in the city and pay off any loans that I may have. One of my hopes in eight years is to be an intern in a fashion company, so I can learn more about the career that I would like to pursue. In twenty years, I will be thirty five. By then, I would like to either be a fashion designer, fashion photographer, a stylist for celebrities, or have another career that has to do with fashion and would pay me a decent salary. I would also like to be married and have a family of my own, preferably with three children (one girl, two boys). I would like to travel with my family and take them to Italy and Australia, so my children could experience what I did as a child. I dream of being able to do everything that I love throughout my life. I know that life has its ups and downs, but I just want to make the best of what I’ve got and live my life to the fullest.

In one year i hope to be a little bit better in my academics, like math and science. In eight years i would like to be out of high school and hopefully in collage getting my bachelors degree to become a teacher. In twenty years i would like to have a job that i enjoy, such as a teacher and maybe have a boyfriend or someone close to me. I would also in my life at sometime have a family.

HaleyS said...

I'm not going to lie and say I think a lot about the future, because I tend to try to live in the moment. To enjoy and live everyday to the fullest and not thinking about tomorrow, it tends to stress me out. But as for long term goals, I have a basic normal idea for these. In one year, I hope to be at Smithtown West, succeeding in junior year and doing my very best socially and academically. To say that I made sophmore year the best that I could and that I have no regrets. To look back and have fond memories of the year before. In eight years, hopefully graduated from a good college and working. But the most important thing I want in eight years is to be happy with my life and the path I choose to take. In twenty years, I hope to have started a family and get settled into my life. Having a good job with something that I actually like to do. Like, I know I couldn't ever work in an office because I think I would be bored to death! I want to be happy and interested in every new challenge that comes my way. I would also like to travel. Traveling is super awesome and it would be a good experience for me I think.

William A. B (8) said...

In one year I want to have made varsity again, for spring and winter track. I also want to have improved my form while skiing and snowboarding form. I would also like to be able to ski in the backcountry when I visit Whistler this year. As far as school, I want to have gotten 5’s on all three AP tests I have in May, and maintain a 3.8-4.0 gpa. In eight years I hope to have gone to a good school either on the west coast or study at a University in England. I would also like to be studying abroad, in the Mediterranean, India, Malaysia, China, or Japan. As far as my career I have a few things in mind. I would love to become an Architect, so studying classical buildings and styles in the Mediterranean, would be a great thing for me to do. I have also considered becoming a professor of history or anthropology at a decent school. Either of these fields would allow me to apply for scholarships, that would then allow me to see the Mediterranean, India, Malaysia, China, and Japan. I also am considering going to school for nanotechnology and computer science. In eight years I would also like to have found someone to marry, though I would probably wait a little while to have kids. By twenty years I would like to have found a nice place to live on the West Coast, probably Seattle. I would like to have a few kids by then as well and live near the cascade mountains, so that skiing holidays will be a possibility. I would like to have designed a skyscraper if I had become an Architect, or have moved up in a firm. If I had become a professor I would have liked to inspire my students and possibly seen one on to win a nobel prize. I would also liked to have published a book dealing with whatever subject I choose to teach. A dream of mine is to just be happy with what I choose to do, and work with “like minded” people in my career.

Rhiannon said...

In the next year I hope to finish my sophomore year and hopefully get a 4.0 by then. Also I hope to find a job within in that time so I can start saving money for important things like a car or for college. Eight years from now I'll be 23 and hopefully be graduating from my dream school; UNC. I hope by that time I'll have my own apartment and start looking for ways to do my dream job. Right now I'm still uncertain as to what I'd like to do, but I'm leaning towards one day being a district attorney. At 23 I want to travel as much as possible and visit foriegn countries, because I love traveling to new places. When I'm finally 35 in twenty years I aspire to have a succesful job, wheter it be as district attorney or not as long as I am doing something I enjoy it shouldn't matter. Also I hope to be married to someone I truly love and have 2-3 children in a nice lake house. Even if I don't complete some of my goals it's okay, because as long as I'm surronded by people that care for me I'll be the happiest and most succesful person I can be.

Marisa said...

In one year I hope I will be able to take the classes I want the most, like AP English (I am determined to try my hardest and make it in) and Journalism & Media Literacy( this year I am taking Intro to Journalism & Media Literacy). I love writing and it would be amazing if I could get one of my articles or stories published in the Bulls Eye or even Penumbra. I plan to accomplish that by the end of sophomore year. Another goal of mine is to start submitting some of my pieces to writing contests (there is a 2011 fiction contest in Seventeen Magazine that I will try to enter). In a year I really want to start doing more community service. Two years ago I led a toy drive with one of my friends for autistic children in Helping Hands; I really want to try to lead another one again. Also, I am trying to get the courage to start lecturing at my church. In a year I would like to apply for a job so I can start saving money for college and a car. In eight years I will be 23. I know that I will be attending college but as of now I am not to sure where. I hope to live in the New York City in a nice penthouse. One of my dreams is to work at Seventeen Magazine. Hopefully I can make it as an intern and work my way up to Executive Editor or Editor-in- Chief or even the senior editor of seventeen.com. As an intern at Seventeen I would be determined to try to interview celebrities or write articles in the magazine. If I can’t make it to Seventeen, I would try working for any other magazine or newspaper in the city. I really want to work in entertainment too, like hosting E! News. I am not sure on how well I am at reporting, but it is something I would like to try. In twenty years I will be thirty-five. A goal I would like to accomplish is to finish writing a novel by then. I have a few ideas already. I hope by then I will be married and starting a family (I always wanted girl twins). I plan to raise my children with Christ in their lives. As my parents get older, I hope to be able to take care of them too. I am setting my mind to all of my dreams, hopes, and goals so I can succeed in life.

I plan on living my life to its fullest and taking things as they come. I hope to accomplish my goals in my life and being as happy as I could possibly be.

In one year I would like to have really good grades, and record my bands first demo album. I also want a good job so that I can afford a car by the time I can drive and start saving for college. In eight years, I'll be 24. Hopefully by then, I already started touring with my band and released a full length CD. I know not many people take me and my band seriously since we're just sophomores in high school, but we try our hardest to write new songs everyday and show people our talent. But I hope in eight years that we already had or are going on our first headliner tour around the United States. If nothing happens with music by the time I graduate high school, then I'm not really sure yet what I'll be doing for a living. I know for a fact though that I'll be going to college. But as of right now, nothing else really interests me like music does. I wanna live in New York City or some place where i can just be with all my best friends all the time. In twenty years, I'll be 36. By 36, my dream is to be a major band and touring and playing music for people will be my life. I want at least 1 kid, and to marry and never divorce the one girl that I'm truly in love with, not like all of the other famous people out there who get married every 3 months. I know that I may be wanting a lot of things that chances are may not ever happen, but it's really all i want and will aim for. I want to accomplish everything that I ever dreamed about doing, and just enjoying life even through the ups and downs of it. I try not to let people bring me down about what I want to do, because it's my life not theirs. So I'll just live it peacefully and happily.

In one years time I want to be able to say that I tried my hardest and got a 4.0. In eight years I would like to have graduated from a good college, and studied abroad. In twenty years I would like to have a stable job (in a science field) and a loving family.

In one year, I want to be successful. I would like to have many goals. Doing well in school is a priority. Getting a car, moving out on my own, having my own place to live, having more independence and reason-ability is all I can wish and hope for. To be more reliable and realistic with endless hopes and plans is mainly what I want in life. I hope that my self-sufficiency will work out to my advantage because I definitely want to be able to support myself and the other loved ones I have in my life. Since keeping the people I love in mind is every important to me, I'll make sure to keep them around.


Perhaps I should realize that some aspects of growing up is when to know you're wrong, knowing when to speed up, slow down, relax and let opportunities come slowly, instead of always rushing things or even taking the easy way out. Rather than looking for opportunities like I used to, I will try to look at all the options so I can try not to make careless mistakes.


What I want to achieve in the future, or even in the next eight years, is just to be happy. I believe that people can’t really plan out 8 years of their lives, like a list or a bunch of numbered tasks ordered chronologically. However, they can surely make the best of that time spent growing up, growing more mature, getting wiser with age while still having fun moments to remember. Nevertheless, in twenty years, I hope I will be more stable. I Want a nice home, to get through school (with a nice job), and have a good time. Being able to get married and think about kids or longer term goals is ideal as well.


I would like to get more involved in my education. I want to make something out of myself and apply for college. I really care about what future career I may have, and how my life turns out. I plan to pursue Child Development and Psychology, as they are both interesting courses. I want to explain how the human mind works, and why people act a certain way. I would enjoy studying human behavior and the history of the world. But, most of all, I want to excel in anything I'm offered. I'd like to get involved with helping people, while still being able to travel the world and see wonderful places.

I know goals are good but, you need to take small steps to achieve the big goals. To achieve goals you need to make good decisions. My goal is to make good decisions everyday.
