I have done this with other goals in my life in various endeavors and it has usually worked out very well, so it appears that this is a good idea for me and one that will serve me well in working toward my educational and career goals. Since this is the case, I feel that it would be best for me to plan my educational goals carefully and therefore be fully aware of what I am doing as I move forward in both my education and my career. However, I also have come to realize that not everything can be planned out and determined, and some things just happen and cannot be controlled.

Since this is the case, my educational goals are planned out and are very important to me, but they are not set in stone to the point that they could not be changed or adjusted in any way if the need arose. In other words, I would be able to take extra classes, take time off, reassess what I am actually...

By being flexible in this way, I will help to reduce the stress level that I will likely feel when it comes to my education and the work that I know that I will have to put into it in order to get the desired result.
I am not interested in simply 'skating' through school and getting out as quickly as I can with the minimum grade. Instead, I am much more interested in actually learning everything that I possibly can while I am in school. There are many people in this world that cannot even afford to attend college, and that desperately want to go but are simply unable for reasons beyond their control. Because of this, I want to make sure that I do everything I can to get the most out of my education so that what I learn in college is something that I take with me and remember my entire life.
