Goals can range from mild trivialities to serious accomplishments. A mild goal could be transferring to a fun class or taking a class with a friend. Serious goals span from managing new classes to taking harder classes in order to raise GPAs.
Senior Aaron Hill has high goals for the new semester.
“I want to raise my GPA to a 4.0…getting a five on my AP Chemistry Exam is something I’m hoping for accomplish,” said Hill.
Having a goal is only the first step to achieving it. Setting up a plan for a goal can help a person to focus in on the issue and be more successful in completing it. Junior Whitnee McGowan is very confident that she will get her desired grade, a 100%, in Chemistry.

There are many ways that a person can accomplish a goal. Develop a step-by-step plan for the time period in which you want to complete the goal, make sticky notes to remind yourself, and have your friends give you positive reinforcement along the way.
