February 6

AGENDA:

1. Journal Write:

A Native American elder described his conflicting emotions as two dogs, one good and one evil, fighting all the time. When someone asked which dog wins, the elder replied, "The one I feed the most." Describe a time you were ambivalent and explain which dog you fed.


2. Rework your SMART Goal
           How will I know when it is accomplished?
           Make sure the goal you are working for is something you really want, not just something that sounds good.
       What resources will you need to make it realistic?
       Write your goal in full detail - will attend UC Santa Cruz and major in Biology. I will live on campus and take a full load of classes.

M - measurable, meaningful, motivational

A - attainable, achievable, acceptable, action-oriented

R - realistic, relevant, reasonable, rewarding, results-oriented

"Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage, but simply because they have never organized their energies around a goal."
