it's been a while...

[nachtspiegel]

So I decided to make a newer thread for people here to post their goals and plans.

What are your goals?
How do you plan to attain them?

What are your goals? At the moment my goal is to learn human anatomy(drawing the human figure)

How do you plan to attain them? By practicing I guess, but it'll be hard, cause I get distracted and start painting something else... which is not anatomy related :-P

[INFERNO]

Ah, good ol' human anatomy and physiology. Never thought of painting it though =/... .

Anyways, my goals are simply, to get my bachelor's. I'm in 2nd year uni., double major biology and psychology so, it's mostly about studying, time management, writing papers, and doing tests and exams. I make sub-goals, such as planning to do good on the up-coming tests. Once that's done, I look at the next task: exams and papers. Then 3rd year uni., and so forth.

What are your goals? To go into the science world ( work in a field of science).
How do you plan to attain them? By working extremely hard in school, playing sports, and being active in my community.

What are your goals? I want to become an archaeologist, hopefully teaching at a college or university as well (just digging in summers, and/or working on local sites). Culture is my passion, and archaeology is just more fun for me than straight up cultural anthro.

How do you plan to attain them? By working hard. xP I'm aiming to get straight A's for the rest of my community college career (no more than the occasional B). If I can finish up with a 3.9 or higher then I can apply for a non need-based scholarship at my university of choice, which would be great. I don't know how much need-based aid I can get, since my parents have a decent income. By then I plan to be married though, so it'll probably be based more on my income. Anywho, I plan to go to the University of California in Santa Barbara, they have a big anthro department. I can get my BA in anthro with a cultural emphasis, which gives me the option of taking classes in archaeology or ethnology. I'd take as many of the archaeo classes as possible, taking ethnology when I need to for the requirements. From there, I can get my MA and my PhD there, as well as certification to teach at college and university. So, if I stay in the area I don't have to switch schools after a few years. I hope to be teaching by my early 10's, after my BA or MA. I can do my PhD slower, while I teach, so I actually have a job. xP

By the end, I will have learned a lot about something I enjoy, and I'll be able to be one of those teachers who actually likes their job and their subject and has fun with it. For a few years I will even be younger than a few of the older students. xP

No, high school science teachers know next to nothing in comparison to university professors. I'm sure I could go to my chemistry or biology teacher and have a good chance at running circles around her about microbiology, medical pharmacology, etc... . To you, they may seem to know a lot but once you reach grade 11 or 12 (or possibly before that depending on your teacher), you'll begin to question their knowledge. In university, you'll realize that they know next to nothing. The exceptions are the teachers who hold a Master's Degree in their subject, as they'll know more than the average Bachelor's degree teacher. However, both know far less in comparison to many university professors.
