5 year plan essay

My five year plan is an easy, and simple plan.After I graduate from highschool I plan on

attending the community college. My reasonings for wanting to attend the community college

are very simple, the cost won’t be a burden on me and they have a nursing plan which I plan on

attending. My plan is also to become a nurse as fast as possible so I can start supporting myself

financially so I plan on taking summer classes and studying year round to hopefully meet all the

requirements to register for the nursing program.

For my first year after highschool I plan on taking summer classes as soon as I graduate

and working 6 days out of the week.The classes that I have registered so far for summer school is

a literature class and a P.E course. Luckily they are both online so I won’t have to ever step on

the merced college campus, so with me not having to be in a class physically I will have a lot of

free time and with that freetime I will be working out in the fields with my parents.When Fall

comes I will be biology, chemistry, and english 1a.I know that these classes are hard but I will do

my absolute best to pass them to get into the nursing program

For my second year of attending college it should be my last year of taking prerequisite

classes.I will again be working to support myself financially and also attending classes. With all

the money I have been saving up for I want to buy myself a car or save up for later after I

become a registered nurse I can put a downpayment for a house.Over the course of the two years

I will be very stingy with my money and not buy anything that I want, only the things I will

need. After hopefully passing my prerequisite courses I should be ready to apply for the nursing

program or I will transfer to Fresno state and become a nurse their. I am leaning more into the

nursing program at merced college because it is local and I won’t be taking out student loans to

become a registered nurse..

Hopefully by the third year I get accepted into the nursing program and my journey

finally begins. I would focus all of my time studying and whenever I can I would work , but

overall I would focus most of my energy on the books.I would also like to be committed to going

to the gym and getting bigger as I see that most male nurses are very big and muscular.

After my fourth year of graduating from high school it should be my last year taking the

nursing program and by the end of the year I should officially be a registered nurse.Apart of the

nursing program is getting hands on experience so at this stage of the program I should be

interacting with patients as if I were a nurse but under supervision of course.In this stage of my

academic career I would be searching out hospitals where they are hiring nurses and I would start

preparing and getting my resume ready for as soon as I become a registered nurse I would start

applying. However since I would have been having hands on experience wherever that may be I

would try to get a good word in for myself or try and build relationships with people who might

help me obtain a job.

By the fifth year I hope to be having a job as a nurse and be working full time. With the

mentality that I have built over the years of grueling hard work I would work tirelessly at my

new job knowing what the meaning of true hard work means and at this point in my life I would

try to buy myself a home for myself or even be a landlord to make even more income. However

knowing how life works, it is never as simple as a straight line so throughout the next couple of

years I will adjust myself to at whatever obstacles life throws at me and will follow my plan as

closely as possible.
