Prompt: In 2–3 well-developed sentences, reflect on how you spent your Holiday Break. Then, identify four personal you would like to achieve this year and briefly explain why each goal is important to you (Copy and paste your completed response from Writable into your blog).

 Prompt: During winter break, I went to Nashville to see a holiday country concert at the Grand Ole Opry and it was a lot of fun. Afterwards, I got the flu and could not do anything for a week of the break. When I was cured from the flu I hung out with my friends a lot and we went to a New Years party. 

1. The first goal that I want to achieve this year is gaining at least $1,000 on PrizePicks. This goal is important because it will show my sports knowledge and let me have more money. To accomplish my goal, I will study trends and do research on how players will do against certain teams. By June, I plan to be at least at $500 earned and will earn the rest by the end of the year. I plan to earn about $50-100 a month to possibly exceed this goal.

2. My second goal is to get and keep a job. This goal is important because it will teach me discipline and budgeting. To accomplish my goal, I will begin applying to jobs once my baseball season ends. I will stay responsible and do everything I can to get the job and keep it.

3. My third goal is to get all A's while still understanding and comprehending all of the material. This is important because it will prepare me for the future and increase my chance to go to a good college. To accomplish my goal, I will create good study schedules and habits, actively pay attention in class, and learn more test taking skills. These all will contribute to my academic success.

4. My fourth goal is to go to at least 5 concerts. This is important because they are amazing experiences, and my schedule may never be this free again, so I need to take advantage of it.To accomplish my goal, I will use the money I get from my job to get my tickets. I will also keep up with artists so I know when the tickets drop so I can get them for as cheap as possible. This would also allow me to go to more concerts and increase the number.


Summary: Today we made SMART goals for ourselves to complete throughout the year.


Reflection: I learned the SMART way of creating goals to make sure they are easily achievable.
