S-M-A-RT Goals

A:My goal is to be organized and not procrastinate starting now. Every day I will make a list of the things I need to get done and push myself to actually do them. I would like to be consistently doing this by the end of this month.

My personal goal for the upcoming year is to become more involved on campus and in the community. My freshman year I volunteered at the Royerton after school program and this made me realize how much I enjoy working with children and helping them in any way that I can.

The 21st Century Skills this project will develop are self-directional, communication and civic literacy and engagement. In self-directional skills, I need to develop my own goals and I need to do it in perfect timing so that I can receive everything I need. In communication skills, I need

Specifically, I have three short term goals. The first is to have a positive impact on someone around me before I graduate high school. Like many wise leaders that I admire, for example Maya Angelou who taught me how to be confident and comfortable in my own skin and Heather Lindsey who taught me how much God loves me I want to do the same to a family member, friend, or even

What do you want to do? Who are you? Why do you want to partake in this program? If I were to be asked these questions at the beginning of my journey, I would not be able to give a proper response. All I knew was my simple desire to help other people.

As for my goals, here’s where things get tricky. My goal would be to find a fiscal sponsor for my walking program. This comes with many challenges, however,

Another goal of mine is to work on my character. Although I surround myself with many people, from close friends or fellow volunteers, I still remain reserved and shy. I tend to hold back my words in front of strangers and in unfamiliar environments. This is why I want to improve on my social interactions with others. I am motivated to do because I want more self-confidence and am more willing to put myself into our community in order to break out of my comfort zone. A step I have taken to do this is by being involved. By having been involved with sports and clubs, I seek to build strong social skills to utilize in networking and building friendships.

I prioritized the client's goals by assessing their significance, manageability, and influence. Reducing Ellen's criminal activity is the number one goal because it is critical and vitally important. This goal was necessary to accomplish first because Ellen could become detained early in treatment and that would terminate the therapeutic alliance. Therefore, reducing Ellen's criminal activity would be the primary goal. Successful completion of goal number one also indicates the client's readiness to advance into the next phase of therapy. Successful completion of goal number one will influence Ellen to take the next step in therapy which is to obtain a volunteer position.

I desire to be a Junior Volunteer at Pardee hospital to assist people, and attempt to learn more about what it is like to work at a hospital. I believe people working in the medical field the field need to be able to look towards the future. In the future I plan to major in biology, and hope to work in radiology when I get older. Volunteering at the hospital could potentially help me get into college.While I am currently a freshman at East Henderson High School I am trying to take classes, join clubs, and plan for getting into college later. I feel like I would be a good candidate for the volunteer program because I am responsible, and think about how my actions affect myself and others before I do them. I have strong listening skills, and

Create a videogame covering what a hero is and answer the question, “What makes a hero?.” As a group, we are to develop a full game, including a storyline covering the main question and a full fledged character will be created, which includes personality and background information. (e.g. ambitions, family, gender)

The biggest requirement for the project was that it had to be a video. I decided on using a recording software called TechSmith Snagit. I began by writing out a narration for the video and collecting photos for use. Afterwards, I scanned all the photos I would use and uploaded them onto my computer. From there on out, I pieced together everything and had a basic outline for what the video would look like. Once everything was ready, I filmed the video and added music in the background.

I was the volunteer coordinator for a student service organization (SNAC) during my undergraduate work. SNAC’s goal was to improve the health of disadvantaged students through nutrition education and interventions. We provided food assistance, taught healthy cooking classes, and linked students to other assistance services as needed. I quickly recognized a relationship between nutrition, socioeconomic status, and health, which opened the door to my interests in public health. I saw the opportunity to help individuals by improving the wellness of their community.

The upcoming fall semester is coming and there are a lot of things I want to accomplish. In the past, I start each year with the intention to become a better person, but I never follow through. So, through experimentation and some research I have formulated a two-step plan to organize and change my life.

Objectives (S.M.A.R.T): providing volunteer activities (April,2017), creating website ( early 2017) selling clothe at charity event ( every 3 weeks in 2017), recording documentary movie ( early 2017 )

Although there are several things on my list that I am cringing over I will give it my all. What better way to be a good therapist? Starting the process of self-care now will hopefully alleviate future problems that I could face. I embrace this experience to create more self-love within. Setting out with determination and a clear understanding of my plan will hopefully create the motivation that I need to complete my goals. Knowing how I am, I have to take this day-by-day. If I do miss a task, instead of beating up on myself as I usually do I will commit to that task the following day. Its not so much doing the tasks that I am worried about because everything on my list I appreciate, it is finding the time to fit it all in. I think what will motivate me is knowing that if I can’t help and take care of myself then how can I take care of my future clients. My ultimate goal after attending Antioch is of course helping others better their lives so I think this plan will give me a jumpstart in helping myself first.
