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 have not succeeded in my first step of full research. I have all of my sources that I know I want to read, however, this semester has been so heavy that I will be starting this weekend diving into that first action step.
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 complete my research amidst other work by May 3.
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. Begin reading sources this weekend, spreading out my workload.
2. Write the paper little by little, preferably 2 pages each sit down.
3. Work on presentation for the conference.
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?:
They have encouraged me to know that I am capable of doing hard things, even when it feels like I am stuck. There is a way to manage my time appropriately, and with the right planning I can achieve my goals.
