I would know that I had achieved my goal if at the end of each year I get a medal representing the honor roll. I know I can reach my goal if I am confidence. I would also need to be independent and not be distracted when it is exams and studying time. I know I can achieve this goal if I have good work habits by reviewing all work I had done in the end of the day, making notes, and more. I would like to achieve honour roll for all of high school and continue my work habits through the rest of my school years. Using the advice my dad had given I would always try my best in all subjects and never give up even if I am struggling in a subject. When achieving my goal I will need to have enabling goals that shorten down my long term goal, I will go through obstacles and I would need strategies to get them accomplished. Some enabling goal that I would need to accomplish is the class work, homework, test and more to make sure I am always focused and know what I am doing and ,another is taking notes for every subject so I can take a look at key points and revise more easily for me. Doing those things is shortening my pathway of getting honor roll. A few obstacles I may have are that I may have more than one project to work on and I may lose track of what I need to do. Other obstacles are having distractions like parties or events, and maybe trips that may occur. To avoid these obstacles I can do an equal amount of both projects little by little so I can get both of them done. To avoid distractions
I can put them on hold and get back to it after homework is done. I can also limit my extra time on just playing on the computer or more to finish homework as well. Some time management problems are procrastinating and by throwing away minutes by being distracted. To get around these problems I can plan out my hour blocks of the day, and force myself to focus on the present. Comparing to my goal setting abilities to my dad it seems we had the same way in achieving our goals but my dad just didn’t know he had planned everything out and was on the right track already. Meeting my SMART goal helps me accomplish an emotional developmental task The reason being that I am learning to be mature, motivated, responsible, and independence when achieving my goal by taking marks seriously, being positive and confident, taking ownership to achieve it, and by learning in my way and bringing forwards extra time for me to study and make notes. Using smart goals in the future can help you achieve something that can be beneficial to you if you don’t give up on yourself to do it.
