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 managed to complete the action steps. I began the job application process and sorted out my notes for grad school, which involved establishing a calendar with fall application deadlines. This required creating a deadline chart, actively seeking job opportunities, and organizing my notes by topic. However, when initiating the job application process, I encountered challenges in finding suitable opportunities and struggled to align my experiences with certain positions.
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 it to apply to graduate school in the fall of 2024. The schools I will apply to include: ODU, HU, UVA, and JMU. In preparation, I will maintain good grades, cultivate relationships, and enhance my professional and academic experiences by actively participating in school activities and gaining work experience in a professional setting.
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.”:
Moving forward, my action steps will involve finalizing the job application process and maintaining my grades for the remainder of the Spring 2024 semester.
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?:
The SNT meetings have been highly motivating, helping me overcome obstacles and providing invaluable support. They've empowered me to take control of my future and prioritize my objectives. I've gained confidence in my capabilities and feel more at ease seeking assistance when needed. My SNT peers have become essential allies on my journey, positively shaping my path toward achieving my aspirations.
