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 completed my last step. I ended up applying for jobs and internships in the accounting field.
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 get a job in the accounting field by the end of May. This goal has been achieved.
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 additional certifications. 2. Review my resume. 3. Apply for jobs in the accounting field or get an internship to get experience in the accounting field. All of these steps are now complete.
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?: 
Thanks to the NSLS and the SNT meetings, my life has changed. I was able to gain the knowledge and confidence I needed to complete my goals. I finished all my steps and landed an entry level position into the accounting field which I start May 21st. I never knew how important it was to set goals and take steps to meet them versus trying to accomplish it right away. I'm very thankful for all this knowledge and connections I gained thank to this program.
