GOALS & OUTCOMES

There are so many goals that I wish to accomplish in my life but these are the top 5 that I am working on:
​

• Obtaining a Coaching Certification:

- Once I obtain my coaching certification I will have completed 2/3 educational goals I have set for myself; this certification will allow me more opportunities and career options on top of the AA in Kinesiology Degree which I already completed and gets me one step closer to my future life goals/accomplishments.

• Finding a Coaching Position:

- After taking the work experience course, i know have the knowledge and experience for applying to other potential coaching opportunities. The location in which I was interning for this semester offered me a position as a sub coach and although I am so grateful to Brea Aquatics for allowing me to gain coaching experience with them-being associated to such a renowned swim club will benefit me in finding future a more steady position as a part time assisting coach. Finding a position is essential for me because it allows me continue to be apart of the swim environment, one of the places I feel most at home and my happiest.

• Living a healthier lifestyle:

- This past year and a half has been so rewarding to me because I decided to put myself and my health first and the benefits for this decision have been phenomenal. I have recognized all the areas I have grown and become better for my life such as losing weight, eating better, exercising for health rather than scale, and even doing morning and night self-care routines. These small decisions I have made have had such huge positive impacts on me in every capacity such as mentally, emotionally, physically, etc. and have made me want to continue to be the best version of myself that I can be; so for that I will continue to work towards living the best life I can. 

• Continue working towards my education:

- I am on track to completing the 3 educational goals I have set for myself, the first was completing my AA in Kinesiology(Spring 2023)-the second is completing all the requirements needed to obtain a coaching certification(Fall 2023), and the last is to complete all the requirements and prerequisites needed to being the Rad Tech program at Mt. SAC(expected to start Fall 2024). I am currently on track with all my goals and I just need one more class to take to complete the prerequisites required for my 2 years license program. I am very happy about the path I am on and I cannot wait to see what the future holds. 

• Continue working towards financial stability and overall independence & happiness:

- I enjoy what I do at the moment, for one I get to teach private swim lessons to individuals who share my passion for the sport which also allows me to continue to be apart of something I absolutely enjoy while also getting paid to do it. I may not have everything figured out yet but pursuing my educational goals will get me closer to my career goals and become financially stable which is a huge goal of mine so that I may establish and live within my own independence and happiness; and one day in the near future all this work will pay off in the long run when I put a down payment on my new home, or decide to take my family on a summer vacation to Italy, or when I complete my 1 year at my dream job-it can seem so far away at times but I have gotten to where I am today one step and one day at a time.
