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.): 
I did succeed in achieving my action steps since the last meeting. I am in the phase of preparing material and using my skills. I will be meeting with my professors and advisor soon to confirm graduation progress.
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 longer-term goal is to be a successful nurse and obtain the skills to become a nurse practitioner one day. I would like to open my own office. I need to develop strong leadership skills for success. My goal is measurable because earning it would require completing nursing school first and then earning a masters in nursing second. In order to achieve this goal, I have assessed my leadership skills. I have found that I am a servant leader. Servant leaders possess a serve-first mindset. These leaders are focused on empowering and uplifting those who work for and along side them. It would be very fulfilling and rewarding to achieve this goal because I have always wanted to do this. I plan to be finished with NP school the spring of 2026.
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.”: 
Step 1. Communication with my advisor and professors to ensure I have completed all tasks for graduation. Step 2. I will discuss what schools and programs might interest me with my advisor. Step 3. I will submit transcripts and applications to the schools of my chose.
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?: 
The NSLS Speakers and the SNT meetings helped me improve my leadership skills for success. They encouraged me to stay focused on my goal. The speakers were great advisors and motivators. There are also many resources available on the NSLS website. I will be able to utilize them for future goals.
