• Atomic Habits & Growth

• At this current point in time, what specific standards have you set  for yourself? 

• How and why did you come to craft these standards? 

• How do you demonstrate resilience towards achieving these standards?

• How do you assess yourself?  What adjustments do you make? How often?

Last year I made the conscious decision to take 4 of the most demanding AP courses our school has to offer thinking that it would be something I could handle in addition to working on college applications. Now, actually being in these courses, I have come to the conclusion that this year will be challenging from an academic standpoint. Due to the large amount of coursework, I am being assigned and college applications being right around the corner I have been under a lot of stress. I have very high standards for myself, those being that I do extremely well in all my classes as well as make the time to go to the gym a minimum of three times a week. Due to all these tasks being very time-consuming I have basically stopped spending time playing video games and doing things of the sort. I hope to also learn a lot about critical thinking and see the deeper meaning behind everything I read. I assess myself by tracking my progress weekly and seeing what I have done and how much I have left. If I notice that I am falling behind I buckle down and commit more time and energy to the area I am struggling with.
