I am in a college skills class. I have been asked to choose a topic that I feel will better my future. Prior to this class I simply thought the goals I had and accomplished were enough. Everyday goals of paying bills on time and keeping on schedule now doesn't seem enough. Well, I have since learned that things will go more smoothly, less crazy, and I can reduce my stress level with a few more goals for myself and my daughters as well.
