Personal Narrative: My Basketball Goals

From now on it’s a New Year and a great time to set goals for the rest of the year! My three goals that I would like to accomplish this quarter would be to remember all of the lessons in math so I can do good on end of the year testing, be more aggressive in basketball, and get all A´s. I would like to do all of these things so I can be more successful in school and in basketball. I can also get all Aś again by managing my time better and remembering all of my lessons in math. If I can be more aggressive in basketball, then I could help my team win more games. I want to reach all of these goals so I can apply them to the rest of my life.If I accomplish these goals, then I am guaranteed to be successful. So here's my plan on how to reach my
goals.
I’ll be the first to admit that when it comes to remembering things from the beginning of the year, I can not do it. I especially can not remember anything when it comes to an end of the year test. I'm troubled with remembering everything that we learned. One way that I can try to fix this problem is try to look back at the lessons before the end of the year testing. When I do this, I can review everything and remember how to do it. Another way that I can fix this problem is try to ask for help on questions that I don't understand from my teacher and parents. I can also ask for help from peers. Once I know how to solve a problem that I don't understand, I can rehearse it and practice ones that are similar to that problem. These are ways that I can remember my math lessons before end of the year testing. Another goal that I want to accomplish this year is to be more aggressive and aware in basketball.
I can accomplish this goal by knowing the plays by heart and wanting to get the ball. If I want to get open and get the ball to shoot, I have to get aggressive and get past the person guarding me. I also have to work really hard in basketball practice so that I can reach this goal. I can also practice shooting and dribbling so that I can drive to the basket and shoot the ball to get a point. I have to keep doing this over and over again to get it right. I only get irritated when I miss the shot, so by practicing shooting I won’t let my team down. This is how I can reach the goal of being more aware and aggressive in
basketball. Finally my last goal that I want to achieve this year is to get all A's for third and fourth quarter.
I can achieve this goal by finishing my work and turning it in on time. I can also do extra work or decorations so that I can get extra credit. Another way that I can achieve this goal is by always do my very best on an assignment. I can double check things, add more to an assignment, or do something more advanced that could get me an A. If I can do this for the rest of the year, I could get all A’s for third and fourth quarter. Plus when everything is double-checked and decorated nicely, then I can edit it and have a good assignment completed. All I have to do is give my absolute best on every assignment and project. That is how I can accomplish this
goal. In conclusion, setting good goals and figuring out how to accomplish them is an effective way to be able to accomplish them. You never know what you are capable of until you set a good goal and try it. My goals that I want completed for third and fourth quarter are being able to remember all of the math lessons that I learned so I can do well on end of the year testing, be more aggressive in basketball, and get all A’s at the end of each quarter. I know that I am going to give it my all on these goals so I can complete them. When these goals are accomplished, then I can be guaranteed to be more successful in basketball and in school. These goals are also not just for third and fourth quarter, they are for the rest of my life until I get them to be well set and perfect. Those are my goals for 2017.
