As an educational institution, the unmentioned value that the school upholds in order to reach their goals is consistency. With that said, I do know that I have to work on my consistency in every aspect of my life since some changes do not happen overnight. Consistency is key 🔑 to whatever goal I would like to achieve. I do know that, but there are times when lapses occur.

BSN1 N13

I see a gap in the area of respond, because I myself am honest that I sometimes had a hard time adjusting immediately to my environment. But I see to it that with the university’s dedication for students like me, I will certainly learn to adapt and respond in changes that will occur in my life.

The gaps I found within my goals and the vision and mission of CITU, is that I cannot completely devote my self to attaining excellence in myself. Either due to a multitude of reasons and excuses to myself and to others I cannot devote myself seriously to my academic and personal endeavours.

BSIT - 1 (G10 - G13)

For me, the gap in the alignment of my values and the University's is the teamwork. I am usually the type of person who works well alone and I value my independence. I can work with other people, but there are times where communication on both sides are really lacking. Communicating with my team or group might me a little harder for me than others and that's what hinders me from having great teamwork. But, I believe that there is always a room for improvement and being in this university for already 2 years, I have come a long way from being afraid of socializing to becoming the group leader on every tasks. However, I know that there's still a lot more to improve and I will be working with it.

The only area that I see a gap is the social aspect since I am not really a community-driven individual and I lack social participation which the university greatly encourages and I know that this area is something I need to work on as a CITU student.

The gal i see towards myself is to GEAR my life in CIT because i trust in CIT U to guide me in my foundation in learning and to be a better person

The area where I might need to improve on would be how innovative I must be and how ingrained the culture of excellence is in me.

One area where I see a gap in alignment is in community service. While the university emphasizes social responsibility, my personal goals have been more focused on academic achievement rather than active involvement in community initiatives. To bridge this gap, I plan to integrate more service-oriented activities into my academic journey, ensuring a better alignment with the institution's mission, vision and goals.

My communication towards others, I have a very low self-esteem that makes me stop from going for the opportunity that was offered to me, I get this feeling that if I step ahead, I will be most likely to be judged just because I aim for it. Sometimes, I also lack of innovation that I get confused what to make or what to do. Also, in teamwork because I tend to work alone as it helped me express more than being in a group work.

BSN-1, N15

One aspect of myself that I deeply wish to improve is my self-confidence. I’ve realized that self-confidence is the foundation for almost everything in life, whether taking on new challenges, pursuing goals, or simply navigating daily interactions. While I can communicate reasonably well with people around me, I’ve noticed that true confidence goes beyond just speaking up. There are moments and opportunities that I genuinely want to seize, experiences that I know would help me grow, but I often find myself held back by fear or self-doubt. It’s frustrating to feel that hesitation, knowing that if I believed in myself more, I would be able to fully embrace these situations and push beyond my comfort zone. Developing this inner strength is something I’m determined to work on because I believe it will unlock new possibilities and help me live more authentically.

The gap that i need to align with the institution is that i need to be more proactive rather than be reactive towards any situation i run into.

BSN-1, N14

I think the general thought of the vision-mission aspect of the institution is where I lacked. Because continuing the prestige of the school is quite hard to accomplish.

I'm still not used to interacting with other people since teamwork aligns with core values which what I really want to do since i prefer teamwork than going solo.

BSARCH - 1

I see a gap on my self-confidence, I am aware that I lack confidence especially when it comes to public speaking, since I am in the field where in the future, I need to speak to my clients with full confidence to achieve successful results, I hope that with the university's guidance I will become confident in expressing my thoughts .

BSN 1 N15

I don't think I have any additional personal aspirations that are not in line with the university's mission. I do not believe there is any additional gap in my aims' similarity with the university's vision, mission, and core values. But if ever there is one, I am more than willing to work on them. Just as in university, I strive for a positive effect and set ambitious goals for myself. So I fully support the institution's future aims, just as the university will support mine.

N14

The gap I see between my goals is the lack of courage as it is the only thing that holds me back. But even so I still want to work on my skills and nurse practices with the help of CIT-U to guide me with the lack of courage of mine.

Teamwork.

As a student who've had really awful experiences requiring teamwork, especially communication in SHS (mostly research where I do everything), I recognize this area to be taken note of and as something to be improved upon (I do not know whether I am in the right or wrong, but I hope things ended in good manners). With that said, I hope this institution will help me in this little struggle of mine. I may struggle in this area, but I hope things will be all right in time. Confidence is also one of them.

The gap that I see is that there is a probability that it is hard to achieve. Like for teamwork for me it is a little bit hard and we need good communication for us to achieve it.

BSN1-N13

The only area in which I perceive a gap is social, as I do not consider myself a particularly community-driven person and do not participate in social activities, both of which the institution strongly supports. As a CITU student, I know I need to improve in this area.

One gap between my goals and the universuty's mission, vision, and goals is consistencey. I sometimes struggle to stay consistently active, especially in extracurriculars. I need to improve this to better align my goals with the university’s mission, vision, and goals.

The only gap I see is in the social aspect. I am not a very community-focused person and don't participate much in social activities, which the university really values. I recognize this is something I need to improve.

BSN 1

• I like to do things alone. It's just that I don't do well in team works. I prefer to be left in my space and do things I want. But sometimes, it's good to have a team to work with, you can brainstorm together and synthesize ideas.

I think that the school follows in order to accomplish its goals is consistency. I am aware that some improvements take time to change, therefore I need to work on being consistent in all area of my life. The secret to achieving any goal I set for myself is consistency. I am aware of that but I somehow forget it.

BSN 1 - N14

Sometimes, two peas won't fit inside a small pod, and that also applies to two the same but entirely different goals. An area where I see a gap in the alignment of my goals in comparison to the institution's vision, mission, and goal is that I am like a bomb, and not the timed, one but the grenade. I love being busy and responsible to the point where I often forget about the word "teamwork". I still have to work on that part, and I am excited to improve and learn so much. Until then, I will try my best.

BSN1 N15

The gaps that I think I need to work on in comparison with CIT's vision, mission, and values is that I myself can't guide and empower other learners to the path of excellence as I myself is also still learning and struggling to strive for excellence and success.

Well what i need for improvement is that being a confident learner because it is needed as a nurse and that goal is needed to be accomplished so that my skills will be enhanced. and that is the gap that i should focus more to improve.

BSN1 - N14

I feel that I need to improve my leadership skills, communication skills, and self-confidence, because not only as a student at this university, but also as an individual, it is important that I can be trusted.

For me my mission and vision  I do communication and Dedicate time to continuous

learning and personal growth. This includes acquiring new skills, expanding knowledge, and challenging myself intellectually, enabling me to contribute more effectively to my community and society.For me my mission and vision  I do communication and Dedicate time to continuous

learning and personal growth. This includes acquiring new skills, expanding knowledge, and challenging myself intellectually, enabling me to contribute more effectively to my community and society.

The thing that I'm still working on for myself to fill the gap in the alignment of my goals in comparison to the vision, mission, and goals of the university is "response." The word respond is basic, but on my end, I'm still struggling with the fact that it takes time for me to respond. 

BSN1 - N15

Since teamwork and culture of excellence is part of the university's core values, I think those areas is what I need to work on. Even before, I rarely asked my parents for help in doing my work. So, I grew up doing most of my school work on my own, so this caused me to have problems in doing schoolwork with others, I tend to do most of the work or have difficulty thinking about how to solve or do schoolwork since I have to think about their ideas as well. About the culture of excellence, I, as a student wants to be excellent but since I don't have that high confidence in doing things that I know I excel it really stops me from being excellent. Luckily, since I am at the right university, for me, I will do my best to achieve the technologians' core values.

BSN1;N13

It would be that, although the university places a strong emphasis on community involvement, my own aspirations are mostly focused on skill improvement. I could develop methods to blend my abilities with the objectives of the organization or work on something that would benefit the communityand me

.

-I can see that there’s a gap of the alignment that I have in my goals which I could compare to the institution’s vision, mission, and goals, is that my self respect and also my study habits which I could say that I should figure it all out, for me to be able to go out my comfort zone because I really do find a hard time adjusting my studies right now and also to my surroundings which is all new to me and maybe because I’m still adjusting and trying myself to be open to new possibilities and opportunities that’s waiting for me and I do hope that in this university would be the way to uncover some things that I never really discover about my self potentials.

N15

An area where I see a gap is reacting proactively in a fast-changing world. Sometimes I can adapt, but most of the time I don't because I get burned out and get easily tired. I'm also not competitive enough yet to contribute in making CIT-U a Top University. I'm not a competitive person, I just want to graduate from my course. I also have a gap in the culture of excellence. I don't have it in me yet to go beyond the ordinary in everything I do because like I mentioned before, I get burned out easily and I don't have the energy to do those things so I definitely need to improve on that (I'm working on it currently).

I think I need to improve my ways in responding in proactively fast changing world since I have troubles in adjusting especially now in college. I also need a stronger will for education since college is not about rainbows and butterflies. Despite it, I want to improve myself for own interests.

BSN N13

An area wherein I can see myself struggling to achieve my goals is when I have to approach people with whom I haven't interacted since I am typically shy whenever I am not yet comfortable or familiar with the person I am dealing with. It sets me back from my goal of becoming a successful nurse since nurses interact with people daily in their work field.

BSN-1 N14

Personally, I did not experience any instances or phenomena that I can consider to be a gap in the alignment between my goals and the university's mission, vision, and goals. In fact, I found that my academic and professional goals were well aligned with the university's priorities and objectives. The university's commitment to providing a rigorous and enriching educational experience, fostering personal and professional growth, and preparing students for successful careers resonated strongly with my own aspirations. Throughout my time here, I have been able to actively engage with the university's initiatives, take advantage of the resources and support available, and contribute to the achievement of its overarching mission. This synergy has been instrumental in my academic and personal development, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this vibrant academic community.

BSN 1

As a student in this university, I need to work on becoming a creative individual because I don't currently see myself as someone who has a creativity in life. However, I need to adjust and work harder to align with the school's mission, vision, and goals.

I must say that I am working with my empowerment on how I can also motivate others from recognizing the importance of goals that will bring a significant change in to their studies

N13

• I am not keen with public speaking because sometimes I lack confidence when I am in-front. Also with my communication skills which is very needed in nursing.

BSN-1 N13

The area that I need improvement is the confidence in becoming life ready professional because there are times where I still have second thoughts or be lost in different moments and I do think that the University will help me overcome this and will also help me to improve myself to be better and to become an industry-preferred and life ready professional.

As a student at CIT-U, I've noticed a gap between the university's ambition to be "tops again" and my preference for a more gradual, "baby steps" approach. Despite this, I strive to achieve my goals diligently, one step at a time. Self-confidence plays a vital role in facing challenges, chasing dreams, and engaging with others. Yet, I often struggle with moments of hesitation rooted in fear or self-doubt. Nevertheless, I am committed to enhancing my self-belief because I trust it will open doors to new opportunities and enable me to live authentically.

BS ARCH R11

To achieve my goals and vision , I need to work on becoming more social and building my confidence. Being social will help me connect with others, which is important in both school and work settings. When I build good relationships with classmates, teachers, and professionals, I can learn from them and improve. Building confidence is also important because it will help me share my ideas and take on challenges without hesitation. Confidence will help me present my designs and talk to others effectively.By focusing on these areas, I can become a better architect and show that I am a student who lives by the mission, vision, and core values of CIT University. This will help me make the most of my time at CIT University and prepare me for the future.

BSN 1 N-13

A gap that I need to improve on is my decisiveness. I tend to be indecisive a lot of times and it would be too late to make a decision. As a student, it is important to decide on many things, especially if it affects the goals you're trying to achieve.

BSN1 - N14

Consistency. That is the only gap I am seeing when I compare my values and the University's values. As to what I believe, aiming high always comes with consistency. I am currently going with the flow for now but I wish to fill that gap in the later years when I become fully adjusted with my own pace in fast-learning.

BSN1-N14

One gap in the alignment of my goals is being a timid student, I do not engage myself in activities that may help boost my self esteem and practice my communication skills. As a new student being exposed to a new environment, this gap is what I desire to overcome and be used to. Being able to accomplish this task is to be able to communicate properly with the people I engage with.

Achieving ultimate success often requires a close alignment of daily actions and goals with one's overarching vision and mission, ensuring that any gaps between them are addressed through strategic adjustments.

For me Consistency is what I think is one of my biggest weakness as a Student. As a teenager there are a lot of things to give up on to be able to focus on studies and one of them are to lessen unnecessary activities that may seem as a distraction to studies. For me this what reality is in stepping foot to college Life and that is why to look at it brightly, focusing on this gap will help me strongly linked more into my studies.

I aim to improve and excel in my academic and personal journey like the university, but sometimes I get tired and struggle to communicate with others due to shyness, which hinders my alignment with the institution's values of teamwork and excellence.

An area where I see a gap in the alignment of my goals with the institution's vision, mission, and goals is in s that sometime I always do self doubt about my own ability and its making me more anxious and overthink

For me I see a gap in alignment with being a community-driven individual and to respond-proactively. To be honest, I still struggle with maintaining conversations with people and sometimes I cannot respond to a certain thing right away since I would still go through certain adjustments on myself before being able to make a response but I do believe that with the help of this university, I can be able to make improvements on myself.

The gap between my goals and the vision and mission of the university is that, the university has a specific goal that they always maintain to aim, while on the other hand my goal changes every now and then. I might need to improve my consistency in creating my life goals, I still need to improve my better understanding of myself and what I envision myself to be in the future.

In short, the university has a more specific goal for their students, while some of my goal might differ, and not consistent, I also want to improve some of my flaws.

BSN 1 - N16

Teamwork is where my values and the university's values diverge. I'm the kind of person that can accomplish a lot on my own without asking for assistance, but I will make an effort to close this gap since I firmly think that there is always a solution to a problem. Still, I am aware that every day is an opportunity for personal growth.

Teamwork is one of the core values I need to work on as a person who's shy about communicating with others. Sharing work and collaborating on ideas are things I'm afraid of, so I would really like to address this gap.

BSN 1

I am struggling now working & studtying but still catching up my goals

An area where I see a gap is in my focus on individual achievement rather than teamwork and consistency. While CIT University emphasizes collaboration and consistent effort, I realize that I need to improve my ability to work effectively in teams and maintain steady progress over time. This is something I’m actively working to align with the university’s values.

BSN1 - N13

Although my values and goals are aligned with the school, I think that self-discipline is an area where I can further develop. I want to be committed to strengthening my self-discipline skills to surely meet the challenges and demands in my college journey. By doing so, I will be well-prepared to achieve my academic and career goals.

Being able to be trusted is vital to me as an individual and as a student at this university, so I believe I need to work on developing my leadership and communication skills in order for me to improve myself.

BSN 1 I think the gap that I still have to work on aligns with the vision which is "People- Oriented Organization" because I don't usually participate in a community activity, and I think finding ways to improve this would be necessary to break this gap.

The gap that I see is that there is a possibility that it will be difficult to achieve, and that is collaboration, since it is a little difficult for me to interact with other people, but I am working on it.

The only problem between my goals and the university’s mission, vision, and goals is that I struggle to do things consistently. I have a hard time staying active in everything, especially in my studies. I sometimes do the bare minimum rather than doing my best and staying active at all times.

It would be the area where I can be a little bit bothered about myself as to whether I'm currently in the right path towards my future. It would also be that I, myself am quite unsure if I can really achieve these goals after all I can easily get pressured by my sorroundings like what if I'm not that good enough to inspire others in their journey towards their profession and what if I am still lacking in many areas that can be of help to other people too. I'm not saying that I am that bad but it's just that I can be doubtful sometimes as to what I have achieved so far but still I'll try my best to fill in these gaps but not too much that can cause the wellness of my being. After all, I prefer a comfortable and healthy environment but it would be bad if I stay there always so it's better to go outside to explore more. Another would be that I, myself may have a little knowledge about things but still I hope that I can learn more so that I can also share these knowledge to others in way that they can easily understand.

Finding gaps over the alignment of my own goals in life and the institutions, vision, mission, and goals is a struggle, but overtime, I have found myself looking and working for a much competitive side of me, in order for me to excel academically. With the word competitiveness everyone is given a chance to compete and share knowledgeable insights, with this I think I'm way more open to a lot of pathways that'll help me improve strategically, consistently and competitively. Leaving competitiveness behind has always been an awful thing to do, especially when we're struggling to achieve our own desires. The word competitiveness has always been a weakness and a strength of mine, and this I think I have given enough info about the gap I personally have regarding with the said alignment.

BSN 1 - N13

An area where I see a gap is in the focus on research and innovation. My personal goals lean more towards gaining practical skills and job readiness, while the institution emphasizes becoming a top research-driven university. I believe my goals align more with industry practice than research excellence.

BSPHARMA1-Y1

One area where I see a gap between my goals and the university’s vision, mission and goals is that CIT aims to be at the top, while I need more time to adapt to the new school systems. The university's high standards and rapid pace can feel overwhelming as I try to find my pace and role in this university. Balancing their expectations with my need for a slower adjustment period makes it challenging to align my personal goal.

I believe that the only gap in the alignment of my values and goals, is that, I am someone who is still in the process of improvement, and even though my values and goals align with the University’s vision, mission, and core values, I am still in the process of becoming into that type of an individual or student.

Bsn

My ideals and the university's beliefs differ when it comes to teamwork. My personality type allows me to successfully complete many tasks without seeking help, but I'll work to close this gap because I genuinely believe that there is always a solution to an issue. That being said, I know that each day is an the chance to develop personally.

The gaps that I've been working on in comparison with CIT University visson, mission, and core values is that, being a confident learner because me myself isn't confident at all and i need to improve my communication skills and self- confidence. It take time but but i know i can enhance with those skills.

An area or gap that I see so far is teamwork. I tend to do things on my own since I've been having a hard time communicating my thoughts and ideas, as well as with simple interactions—I find it hard to do so. Aside from that, I don't want to ask for help or rely on others because I don't want to be a burden or have 'utang na loob' from others. However, I'm willing to work on it to align with the university's goals for the sake of my grades.

The gap that I need to work on is the ability to communicate effectively and also to respond to the fast-changing world. Since the path that I am currently taking requires a good communication skills to perform the job, I know this will not only hinders the performance in my job in the future but also my connection with students, teachers, and others which requires communication to collaborate. Next, is to respond to the fast- changing world in which I am having a hard time adjusting especially in the class.

I am also working on my communication skills because I am not really confident especially in socializing but I know that I will develop and enhance my skill in communicating.

In my point of view, I see a gap in the university's core values of being competent, I myself is not very confident with my own capabilities to achieve a specific goal and this creates a gap because as a student of CIT-UNIVERSITY I am expected to be competent. However, I will try to improve myself in the future so that I can close this gap and align with the university's core-values.

Adapting to a new school and environment has been tough for me. I’m finding it hard to get used to different routines, expectations, and people. It’s overwhelming to navigate these changes, and building new relationships takes time. Even though it’s challenging and sometimes frustrating, I’m working hard to adjust and stay positive, knowing that fitting in will take effort and patience.

As a student, an area where I can see a gap in the alignment of my goals is that to work on myself to adapt a new environment in CIT-U, because I’m really not used to be around with a new people, new faces, and also I’m not used to speak in front of everyone.

One area where I notice a difference between my goals and the institution's vision, mission, and goals is in the speed and size of innovation. Although the institution prioritizes a consistent and controlled method for introducing new strategies and technologies, I personally prefer a more rapid pace of innovation and being willing to take calculated risks to seek out new opportunities. In today's fast-paced world, I think that quickly adjusting to new situations can be advantageous, even though this urge to innovate may not always match the institution's more cautious tactics. Nevertheless, I view this as a chance for personal development and education, and I am excited to discover methods to harmonize my passion for creativity with the organization's dedication to consistency and deliberate advancement.
