Start by indenting each paragraph. This paragraph will present a
summary of the main ideas from the video and the article. When
you read and review each, it is a good idea to stop periodically

.They should be strategies that will allow you to achieve your
academic goals.
To effectively describe a situation you are currently
experiencing that requires willpower, try to balance objective
information (what the situation is about) with subjective
feelings (how you feel about it). Look through the notes you
took from the video and article to find two ways in which you
can use willpower to address your current situation. Discuss
the two strategies you picked and then clearly explain how
those two strategies will help you handle the situation you
described. Remember, this paragraph addresses an academic
situation.
Paragraph Four: Describe one situation that you are currently
facing in another area of your life (personal or
professional/work related) that requires willpower and explain
how you will use your willpower to achieve success. The links
to the video and article recommend very specific ways to use
willpower. Identify at least two strategies from these resources
that you can use to successfully overcome the described
situation
For this paragraph, choose one situation (personal or
professional) you are currently experiencing that requires
willpower. As in the prior paragraph, make sure you balance
objective information with subjective feelings. In other words,
explain the situation and then share how you feel about it. Look
through the notes you took from the video and article to find
two ways in which you can use willpower to address your
current situation. Explain the two strategies you chose and then
clearly explain how those two strategies will help you work
through the situation you described. Remember that for this
paragraph, you will need to choose either one personal or one
professional situation.

3. Paragraph Five: Enrolling at Ashford University validates that
education is one of your core values. Identify three of your
educational goals that align with this core value. Explain how
willpower encourages choices that are consistent with your
three goals.
There are several ways to identify three goals to answer
this question. You can either use bullet points, such as:
· Goal A
· Goal B
· Goal C
Or, you can number them:
1. Goal A
2. Goal B
3. Goal C
Or, you can simply identify them in sentence form, such as:
Three goals that align with education as a core value are Goal
A, Goal B, and Goal C. Make sure your goals are specific. Some
examples of these types of goals might be to get a “B” or better
in PSY 202, submit all assignments on time, or improve writing
grammar and mechanics. Once you identify three goals, think
about how you can use willpower to help you make good
choices to reach them. Look at the notes you took from the
video and the article for suggestions about ways to use
willpower to reach your goals. Take this time to reflect on what
your goals are and how you can achieve them using willpower.
