There are two types of goals:Short Term Goals- Something you want to
achieve soon (within the next few days, weeks, months)
Long Term Goals- Something you intend to do but takes at least several months, years, or even a lifetime to achieve
When you are thinking of setting short and long term goals, you need to consider a few things. There are good goals with clear focus and purpose and a plan, and there are not-so-good goals that have no direction or true achievement point.

On the back of your star, write 2 possible road blocks that could keep you from achieving your academic goals.
Even though we all face challenges, we can create strategies to overcome road blocks.
How can you overcome these road blocks? What are some strategies that we have talked
about earlier in the year that could help you meet your academic goals? Hint: Think about our discussions on study
habits, organization, and stress management!
Road Blocks

Beneath the road blocks on your star, write 2 strategies that you can use to overcome these challenges.
Now cut out your stars. These will be displayed in your homeroom to remind you of the goals you have set for yourself!
Remember that achieving your goals is all about attitude and determination!
