1PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
1. a) The job or occupation that I want to hold in the next five years is to start teaching the
human resource courses in the college level. I want to continue my professional career to
continue in the realm of the human resource only.
b) There are three milestones that will move me from my present job or occupation to my
desired job or occupation. The first milestone in order to become a college professor is to get the
Master’s Degree on the Human resource. The second milestone that I will have to achieve is to
get a Certified Public Manager’s Certification in the university. Therefore, I would have to
complete both my Master’s Degree and the Certified Public Manager’s Certification before the
expiry of the five years. To be precise, this course is a two year program and only one year is
left. The third milestone in this path is to improve upon my writing skills. Thus the weakness that
can be found in this document is the fact that I am very weak in my writing skills. The timeline
for achieving these milestones is the next five years and my strength lies in being a decent writer
in English. I am also strong in memorizing all the things that I study.
2. a) There are three personal goals that I would want to achieve in the next five years. The first
goal is I want to spend more time with my husband and granddaughter. I do not want them to
feel neglected because of my work pressure. I will spend my time with my family when I am on
holidays. The second goal that I will want to achieve is to focus on my education. I will complete
my Master’s degree, and then attain Certified Public Manager’s Certification. After that I will
focus on getting the Doctorate degree as well. My third goal will be focus on developing my
personal character as I want to give my time to the people who are not as fortunate as I. I will
donate my time and saved money to the non-profit organizations for some social work.

b) As per the first goal, I will try to give my family the best time I can. I will surely for an
annual trip with my family and arrange for weekend trips to go with my family. To achieve my
second goal I have five years time to get the degrees. I will try to donate coats to the kids. I have
also planned to select an organization and donate for them during the next five years.
3. a) As per my first spiritual perspective is concerned I would like to grow my affinity with God
through attending the small group classes in the churches. I will study more about the Christian
beliefs as well. I will also study the Bible as well. I will try to be present in the church at least
one Sunday in a month. The second goal for me is to increase my activities with the church. I
will try to spend more time with my parents and sister. It is because they are very much religious
in their nature. As the third goal I want to improve myself by treating all the people in an equal
manner. I want to treat all the people in a way that I want to be treated. It is because I have
learned that it is extremely important to treat all the people in the same manner in my
professional field.
b) It is very important to note that I will try to attend one small class session every year in the
church. This will surely enhance my relationship with God. In the next five years I will surely
attend the Church sessions at least one Sunday every month. As per the second spiritual goal is
concerned I will surely want to attend and take up the volunteering work one event per year.
According to the third spiritual goal I will definitely want to treat all the persons equally every
day over the next five years.
4. a) I always want to become a world changer in the next five years and I have planned various
ways to be so. I have some three plans by which I could become the world changer. At first, I
will donate my time to others. I will give my time to the ‘We Care’ telethon so I can provide the

best time for the little kids to enjoy the Christmas. My second plan will be to be very much
active in the politics. I am of the belief that every vote does matter regardless of the parties they
are affiliated to. I will thrive to make people aware about the government by attending the
several events and going to the young adults of the region. I will also go on to give people times
who believe in my ideals. I will help people to resolve the issues that are truly important to them.
My third goal will be to live my life in the fullest manner. I will love and respect all the creatures
created by God. I will show and set an example before people to live their lives in the best ways.
b) As per the first goal I will have to donate my time to the ‘We Care’ telethon. Apart from that I
will also have to be present in at least one meeting every month for any other non-profit
organization. I will also focus to arrange an event every year that will help the less fortunate
people in my area. In accordance to the second goal, I will keep on making people understand
about the importance of voting. These political activities of mine will go on forever till my last
breath. The third goal to become a world changer will focus on enjoying the life in the fullest
manner. I will go through this practice each and every day of my life.
5. The purpose statement of my personal development plan is very much aligned with each other.
The professional goals will take me to a place where I can be able to do my favorite thing and be
a part of the college. Apart from that I will be able to give more time to the members of my
family that will cater to attain my personal goals. Lastly, I can motivate myself spiritually and
indeed become a world changer by practicing the values of Christian religion and donating my
time and money to the less fortunate adults and children through events organized by non-profit
organizations.
