My Life Goals

In order to get where you want to go in life, you must choose a destination. This is a list of the goals for my journey right now. I have categorized them into personal (for myself/my family), professional (career), and altruistic (to help others). They are in no particular order, because some will take longer than others. But I believe it is important to write them down and keep them available to remind me of where I want to be.

Personal Goals

• Write a book on co-parenting. (already started)
• Lose at least 10 pounds by the time I start my new teaching job (August, 2013).
• Complete at least 100 entries on my personal blog in 2013.
• Become a home owner.

Professional Goals

• Attend at least one major education conference annually.
• Finish my Master's Degree before I am 37.
• Complete my Doctorate before my last child graduates high school (2021). This is a maybe goal. I have not decided if I really want this, but it sounds awesome.

Altruistic Goals

• Volunteer myself and my kids for a local charity over the summer 2013.
• Start or volunteer actively for a non-profit organization that helps children or families.
