Goal Setting
2nd Semester Goal Setting
“Goal setting is a key to achieving success in any endeavor. It is very complex to know where one is going if one does not know where to go. Everyone needs goals to be enthused, grow or increase performance especially with strong goals.” One goal that I’ve started 2nd semester is to improve my work ethic even more than before, to be able to earn high honors by the end of my junior year. I also will try to involve myself in any activities that I can, both academically and socially, so that, again, I can graduate with honors. The reason why I do this is because I plan on going to college, and I would like to be able to get accepted into any school that I apply to. To begin, my first goal statement for my U.S. History class would be to obviously, start working harder than I have been working the past semester. I’ve noticed that when I look at my notebook, there are things that have been slacked off. For example, I’ve been slacking off on creating a title page for each unit we’ve learned. This hurts my final score when my notebook is checked, because I lose format correct points. This 2nd semester, I’ve changed that by making sure to work on my title page as soon as I receive new notebook agendas. Another part of my notebook I’ve made a goal on is to spend more time working on the assignments given to me on the agenda. To be able help, I have changed some of my “behavior modifications”. This 2nd semester I’ve changed the way I go about the rest of my day, once I get home. Instead of watching T.V. immediately when I get home, I would start on my homework, with an hour of fully working on my studies, then a 15 minute interval break. I would then repeat the process until all my homework is finished, which is usually in about 3 hours. This way I would be able manage my time relaxing wisely, while also getting things done. This would be my overall modification for my work ethic/behavior at home for the rest of the semester, and year. Another
