Goals for the New Semester


As we start a new semester it is a great time to think about setting some goals for yourself. Some of you may have had goals for the last semester. Did you accomplish them? If not, why weren't you able to acheive your goals?

I set some goals for myself last semester and I wasn't successful in acheiving all of them. I didn't go running very often, which was one of my goals. I think the main reason is that I got too busy and forgot about the goals I had set. However, I was able to acheive some of my goals. I was successful in my university classes. I've gotten A's in each class so far. I also biked to school nearly every day, which was another one of my goals.

Take a look at the picture at the top of this post. Does it make sense to you? "To get started you must have a destination (a place you are heading toward)."

What are some goals that you would like to set for yourself for this semester? They could be health goals (to take better care of your body), academic goals (to do better in school), relationship goals (to be a better friend), financial goals (to use your money wiser or to get a job), or any other type of goal.

Leave a comment here as a way of setting a goal for yourself for this semester. It will stay here and you can check it later and see how you did. If you acheived it or not?

Here's a funny picture about goals...

I had many goals for the firts semester. I achived all of them the reason for this was that I made goals that I knew I could do.SI had tow goals.STHe frist one was to be able to go to school every day.
The reason I had set thtis goal was because last year I would always skip and go with my friends.Another goal I set was to get good graeds. I also achived this goal. By going every day to school I was able to get better graeds then last year.I was very proud to see myself get good greads and make the right deseations.
I'm going to set the same gaols and I hope I do not fail. Iknow it sounds easy, but it was really hard for me to stick to it and I'm glad I was able to achive them. =)

I think that some of the goals I accomplished were actually getting some of my work done by finals in science and I got from an "F" to a "C" so it was pretty cool because i was worried about that class the most. My goals for this semester is to actually do better in all my classes and get my work done. I think that the picture chows that it depends on you wether or not you achive your goals and how far those goals are going to take in life.

Luis lopez said...

Well, theres alot of things that I want to accomplish. A goal that I'm going to try to accomplish is to pass all my classes. Second goal is to at least pass them with a B! The third goal is to keep up with my homework and my job at the same time!! I sometimes get out at 11:00pm thru 12:45! It is pretty hard for me to get up on the morning!!!! So these goals are going to be very hard for me! But I'm going to try my hardest!!!!!!!!

Unknown said...

The goals I set for the first semester. I didn't achevie all of them, because skipping and doing my homework are the hardest ones to accomplish. My goals for this semester is not to skip and do my homework.

Unknown said...

This semester i had only two goals: Have good grade and get a new job. I acomplished only one goal, I found a job but I got bad grades in school and the reason is that I missed alot of school days and my grades went down by alot. Hopefully next semester i'll try not to miss any days of school,focus on my homework and not on my friends. I'll try to set new goals this semester and i'll tell my friends to set up goals for them selves.

Lissett said...

I didn't reach my goals for the last semester .My goals were to pass all of my classes and with good grades butI didn't do that because I got behind all my claases and then i forgot to turn in my make up work for my absence . For this semester Iam not going to set up any goals because if i dont reach them iam going to be even more disappoited . One of the goals yhat I will make is to take carte of my health better and not to eat any fast food and loose some wight that i have gained from eating to much .

stefan said...

i think its bad sometimes to have goals in life because sometime they never happen, and thats why i think you should not have goals because you make yourself happy and if they dont happen you will be sad for a long time.....My goals this year are to get good grades in school and stay out of trouble...

joanna said...

lesly said...

I think that I have accomplished some things. Well one of the things I accomplish was getting good grades on the finals and I think that was one of the biggest goals I have made since a all time. One of the goals I haven't accomplish yet is going out for volleyball and I would really like to play that sport. Other goal I have made is to help out more at home when they need me. All the goals I have accomplished mean a lot to me because that means that I can accomplish anything I want but I have to try really hard.

yami yumi becky said...

Last semester I had lots of goals. My goals were to do my homework, pay attention in class, and do my best. My goals this semester are to get a better grade in my math class, and to keep trying hard in everything I do. I also want to improve my health. I want to go out running more often, eat healthier foods, and stop drinking soda!! I hope this year will go well for me as well as my next 3 years that wait for me. I hope can cross through the wining line with a diploma in my hand and finally finish that big race.

yuli said...

I have had many goals I haven't them aconplish yet. My goal last semester was to pass all my classes so i can graduate. And i did pass all my classes. but in live there are goals or dreams that are hard to reach. And some times we see them the and we don't try anymore and thats not good we need to try until we have reach all of our goal and dreams. One thing that help me a lot is keep going is a quote that my friend told me "Never let your past shadow your future"

xiomara rocks! said...

I have many goals this semester. Will my first goal is to get all good grades at school, like b's and a's. My second goal is to go to school everyday so i don't miss homework and don't have to do twice as much. And my last goal is to pay as much attention at all my teachers so I don't have to get introuble.

I had many goals for the first semester, like get a 4.0 GPA. but not all goals are meat. I did not meet my 4.0 GPA goal. I have a goal for this semester it to get a 4.0 GPA.

I had many goals but i didn't accomplish most of them because I didn't try hard enough. If I would of tried harder I know I would of accomplished my goals. Its easier to accomplish things with goals because you try to get something done...
