Goal Setting & Growth

At this current point in time, what specific goal(s) do you have for yourself? Why?

Currently, my most significant goal is to stay motivated and focused so that I can accomplish my other goals and tasks, such as college applications and school work. I always make sure that I’m putting out my best effort and work, and the only way for this to be possible is if I’m motivated and focused. With school work and college application deadlines approaching, it is even more crucial for me to stay motivated and focused because it has such a big impact on my future. Lastly, I constantly remind myself and know that having a good work ethic, staying focused, and being motivated are very important principles and fundamentals to have in life.

How do you demonstrate resilience towards achieving this goal? (or these goals?)

There have certainly been times where I’ve felt unmotivated and unproductive. So to combat this, I have created a schedule or a routine for each day to accommodate the time I need for school work and the time I need for relaxing. Therefore, I can consistently work at my best and stay motivated. Also, I have created a checklist for each day to keep track of all the tasks I need to complete. And at the end of each day, after checking everything off my checklist, it gives me a sense of relief, satisfaction, and gratification.

How does the world around you affect your perception of this goal? (or these goals?)

At some moments, the world seems to throw obstacles in the way of my goals, but sometimes the world helps me strive towards and accomplish these goals. After experiencing remote learning, it has been hard for me to stay focused and motivated because we now have longer school days, which have made me more tired. When I’m tired, I find it harder to stay focused and motivated because I want to sleep. But with that being said, the world has helped me strive towards and accomplish my goals. It has been easier for me to stay motivated and focused with the help of my friends and family. They have always wished me the best, and I would hate to let them down.
