AA: One goal I am working toward is completing a half marathon within the next year. This goal is moderately difficult, requiring significant physical endurance, mental resilience, and consistent training. The goal is highly specific: it is clearly defined in terms of the event (a marathon), the timeframe (within the next year), and the objective (to complete the race). Goal acceptance is high, as I have personally chosen this objective based on my interest in long-distance running and my desire to push my physical limits. I have researched the requirements and understand the commitment needed to achieve it.My commitment to this goal is strong. I have created a detailed training plan that includes incremental increases in running distance, cross-training for overall fitness, and scheduled rest days to prevent injury. By breaking down the goal into smaller, manageable milestones, I maintain focus and momentum toward achieving my ultimate objective of completing a marathon.
AR: I am currently working toward the goal of getting into law school. The specifications of this goal are taking and getting a high LSAT score, compiling letters of recommendation and a personal statement, and selecting which law school I would like to attend. The difficulty of this goal is the academic (bachelor’s degree) and standardized testing requirements (LSAT), as well as the competitiveness of law school admissions (average of 41%). I will have to spend a lot of time and effort in studying for the LSAT. The LSAT itself also costs around $250 to take.
I have accepted the challenges of preparing for the LSAT.
I am currently in LSAT preparation courses, watching YouTube tutorials, and asking legal professionals’ advice so I do good on the test.
CG: One goal that I have or trying to achieve is passing my SHRM test. It is very important to me because it will help me in my future. I currently work in HR and this will help push me to the next level. It very difficult to achieve right now while in school because it takes a lot of dedication when studying. The information is loaded that you have to learn. It takes a lot of commitment as well. I am scheduled to take the test in July but I am not sure if I am ready. I plan to have passed my SHRM test and graduate this coming December. One reason it is so important to pass now is the cost of the test. Right now, as a student I am able to get a discount on the test. Anything able is so expensive. I think with a lot of dedication and commitment I will do just fine and knock out two birds with one stone.
