My Personal Goals

Goals are important to me. It gives me the focus and motivation I want to achieve. There are two types of goals: Short term and long term. I have quite a few goals I want to achieve. Short-term goals are achievable while long-term goals can be overwhelming. And also it would be hard to maintain a single goal for such a long time. But I will try my best to achieve my goals.

The top 3 goals I want to achieve are the following

1. To pass the program im in by getting "A"s

2. To be confident in speaking and presenting

3. To be healthy by working and training both mind and body

My Employment History

At the age of 15, I landed My first job. I began working at a family-owned restaurant, located in Scarborough, as a waiter and dishwasher. I worked for about a year before moving to Brampton, where I got a job at Mandarin as a Busboy. My duties included collecting used dishes to be washed and putting out newly wash dishes in serving area. I did not last more than 6 months due to school. I had to resign. A couple of years later, a year before going to college, I got hired at a Vietnamese restaurant waiting tables and serving customer’s food. Again I did not stay for more than a year. College was somewhat far so it would be difficult for me to work unless it was nearby school. That’s when I found out that the Student Union food service was hiring. I was hired as a food server. Then the college went on strike and I was forced to quit. I went back to Brampton and ask one of my previous managers if they needed any one. Luckily I was given a chance to work at a Vietnamese restaurant again. A year later they decided to close their restaurant and I decided to focus on school. It wasn’t to long until I got a job at Shoppers Drug mart as a Merchandiser and I proud to say that it was my first retail store.

Profile

Hello! You’ve reached my blog and this is my profile. My name is Archie G. I’m a first year business student. I am majoring in finance. Before choosing this program I’m in now, I have been unsuccessful and indecisive about my career path. I was sure I wanted to be a graphic designer. But getting into the program I want was difficult to get into and very competitive. I have submitted my portfolio at Sheridan however I was not able to get into the program. So I tried changing my career path. I went to Humber College and took culinary. It was fun but it didn’t suit me. i love cooking but I don’t see myself working in a kitchen for the rest of my life. So I decided to take a stop school to gather my thoughts of what I want to do. While taking this break, I was working to save money. A year has past and I have decided to take a business program. By enrolling into a business program at Sheridan College I hope it will give me a solid foundation to my career path. I know it will!
