Today we have Ms. Jamarri Rollocks.
You has a homework assignment that was due yesterday. After this class, I will ask you to do back and make any corrections you think you need to make to your resume, cover letter and/or linkedin account.
Homework #2
10 Year Life Plan
My suggestion for a good grade. Do not wait until the last minute.
Due: Thursday September 13th by 11.59 pm
Delivery: email attached .pdf file to os3@aol.com
Assignment: Write a report laying out your 10 year life plan.
Take your time and think about this subject. Do not wait until the last minute and write a quick bullet point report saying, " I am going to do...this....this..."
Watch this short video.
Do not write just a set of goals. Include the steps that you will take to get to your 10 year goals.
Remember when you decided to go to college (a goal)? What were the steps you know you needed to accomplish that goal.
Cover at least the following areas:
- Changes both physical and mental including changes in behavior
- Health/Wellness
- Education
- Career
- Financial
- Family
- Social
Here is an example of a Career 10 year plan. This example is limited to just the area of your career and I want your report in a narrative format and not an outline format, but this example might help you think about your report.
Create a table, like the one below, to build an outline from which you can write your Life Plan Report.
If you use the about table to build an outline. Do not submit the outline. Use the outline to write your plan.
Here is a link to a nice discussion of building a personal plan.
The 7 Simple Steps for Creating Your Personal Growth Plan
Eat healthy, be fit, get that promotion - most of us have areas where we want to improve. But why are we so bad at reaching our goals? It's not only a matter of lacking willpower. What most people are missing is a clear plan for developing themselves further.

The 10 year life plan wasnt difficult but I didnt want to go too into detail about it cause It felt like I was going off topic

ReplyDeleteI found it somewhat difficult to complete this assignment only because I recently decided on my career that I would like to pursue and I wasn't completely sure on the specific steps I needed.to take to get to that point.
ReplyDeleteThis 10 year plan helped me really think about what I wanted to do with my life after I graduated from undergrad. It also helped me really think about different perspectives in life and which route I want to take and what I see myself doing in the 10 next years.
ReplyDeleteThis assignment was very insightful for myself, being that I have never completed a 10 year of 5 year plan! Writing out my goals and things that I want to do in these next years was fun and hopefully I get to accomplish them all.
ReplyDeleteThis assignment was very useful and creative. It really got me thinking about all the different goals I want to achieve in life and how I will achieve them.
ReplyDeleteI agree, this assignment was very helpful. Completing this assignment helped me grasp the reality of my goals that will ultimately leave an impact in my life and writing out a plan to achieve these goals will be a step in order to accomplish many more goals.
DeleteI had a love hate relationship with this assignment. It was important because each student was able to think about their future and create a plan for their life. Students were able to think about their life after college. On the other hand, I did not care for the assignment because things in life do not always go as planned and if you have a life plan mapped out and it does not go as planned this can be discouraging. So, in certain aspects the assignment was positive but it was also negative.

I enjoyed doing this 10 year plan assignment however me personally I try to not live in the future. Living in the future or even planning for the future to me seems to be a gamble because you never truly know how the future will go. If just one thing in your life changes all your plans could be potentially ruined.

ReplyDeleteThis 10 year plan really made me think deeply about what I wanted to do with my life in the next years and what I see myself doing. It was very helpful to me because I made attainable goals for myself that I can achieve in the next 10 years. There might be times that an obstacle could get in the way but looking ahead of time (10 years) from now I see myself doing great things in my life.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, this 10 year life plan assignment made it easier for me to think deeper into how I want my life in every aspect to play out. Writing/typing it out makes it more official.

This assignment was very beneficial to me because even though I know the goals that I would like to achieve in my head, creating an outline to map out my plan allowed me to have a visual of what I want to happen in the next few years of my life.

ReplyDeleteI loved the assignment, it helped me realize things I never really thought about regarding my future and my life. And I was able to really put down how I want my life to be within the next few years, and it was very empowering. I felt like I could see my future and I was putting it out in the atmosphere for my goals to come true.

This assignment required me to reflect on my future and create a specific plan for myself; which was well needed. Now that the steps to overcoming obstacles and reaching milestones have been presented in front of me, I feel a lot more assured about what's to come next.

I had a very hard time with this assignment. I kept getting stuck of listing goals rather than setting a plan. It did help me get on the right track of starting to think about my life and what’s my purpose.
ReplyDeleteThe Ten-Year Plan was something that really got me started thinking about future. I has caused me to reflect about every aspect of my life. This assignment was very helpful and thought-provoking. This is something that i will always revisit in the future.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed creating my 10 year plan. It helped me realize that goals I had in high school are now a reality and I’m setting new goals. It also helped me realize that 10 years isn’t as long as I thought.
ReplyDeleteThe 10 year plan was not as easy as I thought it would be. Although, it definitely helped me realize what all want to succeed in life and set higher goals for myself. Overall, the next 10 years of my life will be filled with success and hopefully goes as planned.

The presentation helped broaden my knowledge about resume's and cover letter's. Since I began my college career, I was taught a certain format, and I was taught to not include color, designs, and photos on my resume. However, with the help of the presentation I was able to upgrade my resume and create a better product to go against competition.
ReplyDelete-Lindsay Williams
The 10 year plan assignment helped with setting a perspective of how I want my life to be within the next few years. I was allowed to created long term goals as well as short term ones. It was an assignment that actually helped me in real life.
ReplyDeleteZakirah Dukes
This assignment really helped me lay out the steps that I need to take in order to reach my goals, and it also helped me realize that I need to stay focused and consistent if I want to reach my goals as well. I think this was a great assignment that may have made a lot of people realize the process of achieving your goals.
ReplyDeleteThe 10 year Career Plan assignment was very useful because I have all of my goals mapped out in my head but the assignment allowed me to break each goal down and asses them individually
ReplyDeleteI felt as if this assignment was very time consuming but also much needed. It helped to not only realize what my goals will be in the future, but it also helped me create a game plan for those goals. This assignment will definitely help me be successful.

10 years assignment let me see and thank more serious about my future steps. I have never had this plan before. And I really agree with the dr when he said if you dreamed about something you will get that in your future.

The ten year life plan was exciting! I’ve never really planned my life out in detail from year to year. It caused me to think about my life in every aspect and made me want to reach every goal that I wrote down. The ten year plan has now become a model of my life that I plan to follow.
ReplyDelete-Candace Wright
The 10 year plan really helped me out a lot. It gave me an opportunity to actually write in words what, where, and how I plan my life to be 10 years from now. Now, that I've written my goals, and I can start making decisions to achieve those goals.
ReplyDeleteKevin Griffin
This assignment was needed for my life. It gave me chance to write out where, how, and what I want my life to be in 10 years. Now that I've done that, I can take the necessary precautions to obtain the goals I've set.
ReplyDeleteThis assignment really made me think about what I really wanted to do in life.
ReplyDeleteVania Moore
I feel this assignment was very helpful for now and the future. i was able to really sit down and organize my goals and life plans. also, it help me map out a game plan and determine what steps to take now. i have to complete a vision board for another class and this was definitely helpful.

ReplyDeleteI have never thought about how to make a life plan for ten years .
When I write it down I feel like the life plan is really just meant to be general summary of where we are now in all the areas that matter to us.

I never try to write a 10 years plan for my life. It is so difficult. On other hand, this opportunity makes me think to much about so many thing about my life witch is really good for me. Also, makes me get out of the box and think more differently.
ReplyDeleteSiraj Ageel
This assignment was very interesting. I actually had to think about where I really see myself in the future. Of course everyone wants their future to be successful and promising and don't take into consideration the negativities. I personally didn't include any perils in my future plan, but it did make me think about possible outcomes in my future.
ReplyDelete-Ashlee Hooey
I agree with this article entirely because I myself enjoy working on my personal growth. I am glad I got the chance to thing deeper about my life and what the future holds for me in the few years. I feel as though this assignment has giving me a chance to really reflect on my life currently as well as my future dreams/goals

I enjoyed completing this 10 year plan. It helped me see what I need/want to accomplish in order to reach my goal(s)of becoming a successful business owner. -Naya Sweetwine
ReplyDeleteThe best thing I grasped from this lesson was to be prepared and have more than one resume to show that you are qualified in more than one field of business. One resume is not enough especially as a well-rounded individual. This shows that you can do multiple things and also a fast learner.
ReplyDelete- Darius Roddy-Moore
The 10 year plan assignment was difficult for me to complete because I feel like trying to plan in detail how your life will go is impossible. I haven't experienced half of what life has to give me so there is no telling where life will take me. I just dont want to feel as though im failing when it's really God's plan.
ReplyDeleteAshja Vargas
ReplyDeleteThe ten year plan allowed me to see which goals I had that were unrealistic and work towards the ones that were. I had already developed my own ten year plan previously but going over it and re-evaluating it helped to re-determine my plan.
The 10 year plan assignment helped me because it helped me realize what I have planned for the next couple of years. Also the lecture on resumes helped me update my resume for an interview I had and I ended up getting the job. This was a great class.
ReplyDeleteDestiny Rudolph
This assignment actually made me think about what i plan on doing with my life. The decision that i make tomorrow could actually affect what i do in 10 years. So i should start living for the future and not just tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteThe 10 year plan was hard but very beneficial. I had a hard time deciding what was best for myself without knowing what life had in store for me . So I just post my biggest goals and then I expanded on those . This taught me that I have a lot of planning todo , now that I have an idea of what the working world has to offer .
