Hi Samantha, My name is Olivia and I am an SNT Coach from the National Office. I will be assisting your chapter with SNT reviews, and it is a pleasure to work with you! Congrats on taking the initiative to attend your first SNT meeting! You just took a very important step to your future, and I am going to approve it; however, action steps should be more specific. Creating action steps can be difficult. When deciding on action steps try to think of one or two specific actions that you can take prior to the next meeting that will bring you closer to achieving your goal. By keeping your action steps as specific as possible, I am sure it will make it easier for you to know if you are coming closer to reaching your goal. Also, Just a reminder, when setting your goals, remember to make them SMART-specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely. An example of a S.M.A.R.T. goal is-I want to get an internship this summer at a hospital. I am going to submit my resume to 3 different hospitals by next Friday. The goal is specific-get an internship at a hospital. The goal is measurable-did you or did you not submit 3 resumes by next Friday. The goal is achievable-you have time this weekend to submit your resume. The goal is realistic and timely because you can get 3 resumes out by next Friday. By setting S.M.A.R.T. goals it will help to keep you focused. Also, you will be able to judge whether or not you hit your goal. I am looking forward to seeing your progress over the coming weeks! Best of luck to you, Olivia
