Period 2

At this current point in time, what specific goal(s) do you have for yourself? Why?

The current point in time is definitely a new experience for everyone. I would have never expected that our high school journey would be interrupted by a global pandemic which would change the way we live our lives quite possibly forever. However, throughout these times, I still have a few goals I wish to reach and work towards. My main goal currently is to finish college applications. There is still a lot for me to do such as writing essays and finding a major that I am comfortable and enjoy pursuing. College is a big step in life and preparing for it is definitely a goal I am working towards. Finding a being accepted into a college that I have interest in a goal that I hope to reach once I finish college applications. Another goal I have at this point in time is maintaining a healthy balance between everything in my life. From schoolwork to college applications, it is not the easiest thing to find a balance especially with the unique school schedule. Remote learning is something that I need to learn to adjust to and setting aside time for specific things like college apps and school work. Staying on top of my work and college application are the main goals I have at the current point in time

How do you demonstrate resilience towards achieving this goal? (or these goals?)

Staying on top of my goals has not been the easiest thing to do. There has been many setbacks like time management, remote learning, test cancellations, etc. that have prolonged me reaching my goals. Although these circumstances, I have found ways to continue to work towards my goals despite the setbacks. As the workload gets heavier and heavier, I found creating a schedule of what I have to do has greatly helped me become more productive and organized. This has helped me in my schoolwork and staying on top of my work and not letting myself fall behind. With everything going on, applying to college is also a daunting task. However, I have set aside time to do college research as well as career research in order to find a college and career I wish to pursue. I think I have done a pretty good job as I am getting closer to actually reaching this goal. I have started writing college essays and applying to scholarships which is a good start towards my goals.

How does the world around you affect your perception of this goal? (or these goals?)

Although there is a lot going around in the world with the global pandemic, the world around me does not really change my perception of these goals. With these changing and uncertain times, my goals stay set in stone. Yes, the current situation does make it more and more difficult but I can't just sit around and waste time. These goals require work to be done and I have to put everything into working towards these goals not just for me, but for my future. This type of mindset has motivated me to keep on working despite everything life throws at me.
