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.): 
After thinking about what matters to me, the SMART goal that I chose to focus on was organization and time management. I am going to buy a planner and write down school assignments, deadlines, work schedules, family events, and my children's school and sports activities. I have so many activities going on all the time that it is hard to keep up with it all.
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 have all my projects, events, and other activities in one planner so that I can be more organized and have better time management by mid-April 2024.
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. Get a planner with enough space to write all the activities. 2. Read my class syllabus and know what is due each week. 3. Read through my work calendar to know what days we have meetings, days off, holidays, etc. 4. Read my children’s school calendars to know what activities are planned. 5. Write about family activities such as birthdays, anniversaries, or any other events. 6. Write everything on the planner.
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?: 
The NSLS speakers have helped me gain a better understanding of how to become a leader. It has helped me to learn that to be a leader you must work hard and continue to dream big. In one of the videos I watched with Tamron Hall, she talked about how the best leadership is listening. She talked about being a planner and trying to learn everyday how to do something that we are doing better. I appreciated the advice that each speaker gave, it is truly valuable.
