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 was able to succeed in most of the action steps. I updated my resume and I did more extensive research on more scholarships. It can be very challenging looking for scholarships because I am international student and most scholarships require you to be a resident or citizen of the United states. Nevertheless, I made more essay templates and by the end of the month I should hit the 50 mark. As of right now I have applied to 38 scholarships.
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 goal is to apply for 50 scholarships by May 1st.
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.”: 
1. Edit my resume again. 2. Do an extensive scholarship search. 3. Write standard template essays. 4. Submit 50 scholarship applications.
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?: 
It feels really reassuring to have someone holding me accountable for my goals, and these meetings have been instrumental in providing that support. These sessions have created a structured environment that keeps me focused and motivated, ensuring that I stay on track with my goals. I'm truly grateful for the accountability and guidance these meetings provide, as they've played a significant role in my journey towards scholarship success.
