Did you succeed in achieving your action steps since the last meeting? If yes, please state which action steps you were able to complete. If no, please explain the challenges that you experienced. (If first meeting, write ‘first meeting’ here.): 
Speaker broadcast question: Reflect on how that individual may have influenced your goal or how you achieved that goal. The speaker, Adam Grant, talked about how sponges filter in nutrients and filter out toxins, and how we need to be able to carefully comb through our inputs and selves in order to create what we want and need. I think a large part of my overall goal, getting through the semester, is just that: filtering. I need to work on letting out the toxins and letting in the nutrients, including dismissing the thoughts/opinions of people whose input I don’t value in how I live my life.
Please state your goal using the SMART Method: Specific: Avoid generalities! Your goal should have specific details so you know what you are achieving. Measurable: Make sure you have solid criteria for establishing your progress toward your goal. Actionable: You can clearly define action steps towards your goal Rewarding: Your goal must be something that is meaningful and worthwhile. Time Specific: Having specific dates for beginning and finishing goals keeps you on track. Example: “My goal is to receive a Sports Internship by May 1st”: 
My overall goal is to make it through this semester with as little stress as possible.
Please list the action steps you will take to achieve your goals stated above. These are action steps that will be completed by next meeting. Example: “1. Finish my resume. 2. Talk with my advisor. 3. Submit a sports internship application at two institutions.”: 
I will take time to write down people whose opinion I value and those I don’t, and then comb through my internal thoughts to weed out those of those whose opinion I won’t value. I will place emphasis on seeking guidance only from those whose input I value.
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?: 
This is something I’ve been working on doing, but to have it articulated like this helps encourage me to actually do it.
