There are many short-term goals that I have set for myself. These goals range from to earn at least a B in all of my classes by the end of the semester to easier short-term goals such as, making sure I have all of my assignments given to me completed by the next class. I find that when setting small goals that are able to be accomplished in a short period of time that it is easier to complete many tasks and I feel that I am organized and successful as well. Some other short-term goals that I have set for myself are to learn better study skills by the end of the semester so I wont struggle as much next semester with studying. Also, another short-term goal that I have set is teach myself to be less worried about my social life and focus more on my education when it is necessary. In order to achieve these goals, I am going to have to set my mind to it and do nothing less. I realize that it is going to be hard at first but after I have done it for a while then I feel sure that I will be able to accomplish these goals easily. For example, I am going to have to sit down and make myself study rather than go hang out with my friends and also, if I need help I am going to have to go to tutoring or ask my professor questions when I have them, that way I will pass my classes with a B or better. Fortunately, I know that if I set my mind to it, I will be able to accomplish these short-term goals in no time.

     After making short-term goals there are also other goals that I have set for myself that are called long-term goals. When setting long-term goals for yourself you should think about what is something that you want to complete for yourself that will take a a lot of time to complete. After figuring this part out, you have set a long-term goal for yourself and you should remind yourself everyday what that specific goal is, that way you can work towards completing it everyday. Some long-term goals that I have set for myself are to earn an Bachelor of Science degree by June 2012 as well as, graduate from law school a few years after. In order to accomplish these goals I have to realize that I will take a lot of hard work and time but if I set my mind to it I will accomplish my dream of being an attorney. Some strategies that I will use to achieve this goal is study more, be more concerned with my educational career and less worried about my social life, and make sure I receive help when I need it. Hopefully, by doing these specific strategies I will accomplish my long-term goals.
