Goals
In class on Monday, we discussed about personal goals. We did an exercise in which we took 17 post-its, and on each one we wrote down a specific goal that we had. After writing down my 17 goals, I noticed that my goals ranged from short-term to long-term.
However, there were three specific goals that I knew if I could accomplish then I would be on track to make the rest of my goals come true. The first goal was to get good grades. By getting good grades, I would be able to go to graduate school, and hopefully get a successful job. The second goal was to live a healthy life. By living a healthy life, I could experience everything that I want to do in life, and stay on track to fulfill all of my goals. The third and final goal was to be family orientated. With my family next to me, I have a certain sense of confidence, and that feeling allows me to do whatever I want.
I really enjoyed this exercise because it helped me put everything into perspective

I find your comments on the goals exercise interesting, as your main goals are shared by many of my classmates. Have you been able to set intermediate goals to reach your final destinations, or do you feel that the goals do not require such? Do you think this exercise was more helpful than part one of the Learning Plan in realizing your life's direction?
