1. CHAPTER TWO: GOALS AND TIME MANAGEMENT
I want to get good grades in this course and learn as much as I can from every class I’m taking.
1. How do goals help you strive for success?
- Goals are part of our daily life, but they have to be achieved at our time limit.
Because if not they become just dreams. Goals are a key to help us through, giving
us a more organize way to achieve them, writing them on paper, and keeping an eye
on deadlines. Choosing between long term goals and short term goals, knowing
which one qualify for every goal. The most important is “BELIEVING IN YOU AND
YOUR POTENTIAL”.
2. How can you create and achieve realistic goals?
- I’m going to pick goals wisely that are going to be important in my life and
interesting to keep me motivated to accomplish them. There are 5 ways to choose
goals that are going to be achievable (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and
Time Frame) I will put in practice these 5 ways to accomplish my goals. I will be able
to study harder, get help is I need, writing down deadlines for my goals and then
accomplish them. I will keep working for my other goals.
3. How can you effectively manage your time?
- First writing down a “to do list” that’s going to help me through the day. Then
reviewing the syllabus of the courses and keeping in mind deadlines dates and due
dates, giving that information it’s going to remind me of the important homework,
or works I have to do. Organizing more my time, leaving unimportant situations
aside, taking 2 or 3 hours every week to study the courses.
Get to know yourself

body works.
2. What do you want to achieve?

cancer. Then travel around the world helping people needed but that my long term
goal. My short term goal is get a good GPA.

2. 3. What values guide your life choices?
- Persistence and keep trying even if I make mistakes, learning from other, adoration
of what I will become when I finish studying, discipline with my grades and the most
important one support from my family.
4. Why do people procrastinate?
- Some people procrastinate because they don’t like the subjects that they are taking
or they haven’t chosen yet a good career. Sometimes the students need a support
from their family, professors or friends. I think having their reinforcement will help
those students who procrastinate to get more involve in their careers and goals.
