S.M.A.R.T. Goals

For this assignment, I had to set 5 goals for this year. These goals had to be S.M.A.R.T. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and

Time-Bound

I think that goal setting is critical because if you don’t set goals you will never know what you are trying to accomplish, and what you are working towards. Also, goal setting will help you be determined, and work harder towards your goals.

My S.M.A.R.T. goal is… Two practical steps I can take to achieve this goal are…
To get a 90%+ average in all my classes by the end of the first semester.
  • By studying hard to do well on my tests. 
  • By working hard on my projects and assignments in all subjects.
To pass my DELF French quiz and get my diploma of French-speaking.
  • Practicing speaking French with my friends 20 minutes a day.
  • Try to listen and work hard on my French assignments.
  • Practicing with a French Tutor for 1 hour a week.
