I will have graduated University with a Bachelor of Arts, double majoring in History and Criminology & Criminal Justice. I will have a job within the court system as a caseworker for those at risk of recidivism and have already been through the criminal justice system.

I'll most likely have relocated closer to a city for a job, but still in reasonable driving distance of my parents.

This can all be measured through if this specific acts have been achieved or not. For example, if I miss out on a job opportunity, this goal will not have been met in this time-frame yet.

This will all be achieved by becoming qualified, and making connections throughout the community and industry that I wish to pursue. These are very realistic goals, considering I am already 1/3 of the way through becoming fully qualified to become a caseworker, and have done so to my enjoyment. I have also taken steps to become an applicant in the court system, which will greatly aid me in making connections.

I will continue working on my Bachelor of Arts and completing all units to the best of my ability, these will be chosen to contribute to my degree as per the UniSQ Handbook. Specifically after 2023, I will continue to implement all of what I've learnt, in hopes to continue on the path to my chosen career.

I initially found conceptualising my life in 10 years very tricky, but as I have in the past, I accept that my goals may be subject to change.

So as for now, my 10 year goals is to excel in my chosen career, which is a caseworker, and make a positive impact on my community. I'd also like to help educate more people, ranging from the youth and adults, on issues in the community and my area of expertise, which I hope will remain to be criminal justice. Through this, I will also achieve other vague goals that align with my morals, interests, and values, which are listed in the other categories.

This will be done because the chosen occupation aligns to my values, because it prevents at-risk member of the community from coming into contact with the criminal justice system, and aids in other parts of peoples life. This can include fostering drug abuse services, and other programs that can benefit people in the community.

I can easily relate to others around me, regardless of age or gender. I find this serves as a significant strength when giving advice and attempting to relate to others.

# data[].attributes.body
I find problem-solving is one of my innate strengths, both practically and theoretically. My retail job includes a lot of organising boxes and other stock items, lots of problems arise with this, and oftentimes it takes a lot of creativity to solve them.

# data[].attributes.body
One weakness that I have room to improve on is time management. I often find myself doing things last minute (school-related, personal life, at work) or forgetting to do certain small tasks that need to be done. To improve in this area I have been writing lists and estimating how much time I have left to spend on it until it's due or until it has to be done by.

This will help me be successful in my career because many jobs have due-dates implemented in at least one aspect of the company or organisation. This helps the overall process run smoothly, and small slip-ups can hinder this.

# data[].attributes.body
The few times I've planned and organised accordingly, the work has been of higher quality and I was less stressed. This weakness, in combination with time management, can be worked on. This will include planning in advance and taking into account the time it will take to wholly complete tasks, with additional time to reflect and/or edit.

History is one of my majors at UniSQ and have always been very interested in looking at the past. I think we can obviously learn a lot from history, but also learn a lot about how it can be repeated in modern times.

My favourite period in history would have to be Ancient Egypt, simply based on all of the evolutionary aspects of this time period.

# data[].attributes.body
A minor interest of mine is politics and the science behind it. This isn't always about modern politics, but also how countries were run in the past, such as Ancient China and other cultures. I find this topic very interesting and engaging, especially today, since it can have a very big impact on international relations and how we look at the world today.

# data[].attributes.body
I highly value the community around me. This aligns with my chosen career because in this, I can help the local community in some capacity and it can be beneficial to those around me.

This value aligns to my career through working with members of the community and giving back.

I find education is sometimes taken for granted, considering there are many people that unfortunately don't have access to it. I think education can be a powerful and uplifting tool that is a very important aspect of life and society, meaning it can often define it.

# data[].attributes.body
I will commence volunteer work under Court Network in Ipswich, QLD. Through this I will gain inside experience about the court system and create connections that could benefit me in my future job search as outlined later.

# data[].attributes.body
A potential challenge that I could encounter in the future is lacking confidence at certain points of my career journey. Sometimes I find I can doubt myself with a small mistake or bad result, which isn't limited to my university life, but can also extend to work or personal life as well.

# data[].attributes.body
In conjunction with lacking confidence, I can sometimes put in lesser effort than usual needed to achieve my goals. A cycle can engage with low results impacting my effort in future tasks.

Lesser effort put into my tasks and work would only result in lower confidence. Acknowledging this would help in overcoming this potential cycle.

# data[].attributes.body
By listing and reflecting on my goals, as well as my weaknesses and potential obstacles, I can be more aware of what can stop me from reaching my goals. This would also have to include acting on these obstacles rather than just simply acknowledging them, this way progress can actually be made.

# data[].attributes.body
In my work and educational life, I am quite reliable and can commit to something proposed by myself or others. Examples of this would be showing up to my shifts at work, or even completing tasks that I previously agreed to. However, this is also encapsulated by taking the right steps if I'm not able to meet deadlines or attend a shift.

Although not on an analysis or investigative level, I'm very interested and appreciative of art from history, and in the modern day. I find I can engage in alternate modes of art, like journalling or scrap-booking, I've never been very good at doing traditional art. But that leaves me admiring those who have built up the skill over time and since they were children, because it's something I could never do.

# data[].attributes.body
Like many people in my generation, I value activism in the form of general civil disobedience and education. I think it's an important aspect of society and has been for many years. This is reflected in civil rights movements in the past that have led to not only cultural and societal change, but also adjustments to legislature and constitution.

# data[].attributes.body
I will graduate from the University of Southern Queensland double majoring in History and Criminology & Criminal Justice as per the UniSQ handbook. I will finish up at my retail job and instead find a job within my field of criminal justice, hopefully as a caseworker in the court system.

# data[].attributes.body
I find completely removing myself from schoolwork for a couple days during the allocated breaks that UniSQ provides, can help 'revitalise' me and give further motivation once I return to schoolwork.

# data[].attributes.body
I highly value having 'time for myself' or taking time out of my work, social, and schooling life to focus on myself and my mental health. This benefits me further down the line and mostly in the long-term, because without these hobbies, I would be far too entrenched in work, which can lead to burnout.

As mentioned previously, I have applied to become a volunteer in the court system in Ipswich, QLD. Although this isn't a major position (administration), I am still free to learn from other people who work in court.

This will benefit me because I can practice working in this professional setting that aligns with my chosen career as well. I can also enhance my skills, receive feedback on what I need to work on, and this positive cycle can continue (MyFuture, 2021).

Attending all lectures and complete all assignment to the best of my ability. Through this objective, I will be able to complete my degree (Bachelor of Arts) and therefore become qualified for my chosen career as a caseworker.

I will do this by following the goals I have created, and implement some short-term goals with a time limit. This way, I can work on being on time with my tasks through organisation and planning. This won't be to the detriment of my work if it is practiced on short-term, low-stakes goals, such as menial tasks.
