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.): 
Yes, I have accomplished some of my action steps since the last meeting. Graduation is this Friday on the 29th and I have spoke with my advisor about getting signed up for my certification exam. There is a prep class she is going to sign me up for to help me prepare for the exam. So far I haven't come across any challenges with meeting my goal however, this exam prep class may be the first one I need an 85% or better to pass it.
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 goals seem to change every week, but I guess I just keep adding more short term goals to my much larger goal. My new short term is to get through this new exam prep class with an 85% or better.
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.”: 
My new action steps are 1. Get enrolled into the exam prep class (waiting to hear back from my advisor about my start date) 2. Study and do well in this class, getting an 85% or better on the final 3. Get registered for the certification exam
How have the NSLS speakers or SNT meetings helped you achieve your goals or changed your life?: 
The meetings have helped me be more specific in what it is I need to do, and to realize that even though you have a (bigger) goal you sometimes have to add and complete smaller goals in order to reach that bigger goal. I like the meetings because as a self proclaimed introvert, I get to meet people, forge new friendships and new future contacts.
