SESSION 2: SETTING
& ACHIEVING GOALS

24. Setting long and short
term goals

26. WHAT ARE THE
PARTS OF A TREE?

27. Go to the writing space at the end of
Session 2. Draw a large tree that
includes the roots,
trunk, major branches, smaller
branches, leaves, flowers and thorns.

28. The growth of a tree is like the
growth and development of a
person. The parts of the tree
represent the following:

29. Roots: your values and skills
Trunk: areas in your lives that give them strength –
friends, family, church, mosque, work place
Branches: goals in the near future (what you want to
do or accomplish soon)
Thorns: obstacles you might meet along the way
Leaves: resources that you will need to reach goals
(people, information)
Flowers: goals in the far away future or future
achievements

31. Label the tree you have drawn with your own information.
- What were the values and skills you identified in the
previous activities? Put those
near the roots.
- Who are the people or what are the places that give you
strength?
- What are your shortterm goals (in the near future)?
- What are the obstacles you think you may encounter?
- What kind of resources or people will you need?
- What are your longterm goals (in the far away future)?

33. Setting goals is more than deciding
what you want to do. It involves figuring
out what you need to do to get where
you want to go, and how long it will take
you to get there.

34. The first step to success is knowing
where you want to go. The second step
is having a plan to get there. Your goals
are your road map. Follow them and
you'll be well on your way.

35. 1. Where do I want to be in the next 3
months, 6 months, 1 year?
Example: By the end of the year, I want
to graduate from secondary school.
Example: To graduate from secondary school, I will participate in
an evening study group. I will study for one hour every evening. I
will seek extra help from the teachers when I need it. I will improve
my basic math skills...

36. 2. What must I know to get there?
Example: In order to improve my basic
math skills I will need to have a better
foundation in the basic topics.

37. 3. What steps must I take in order to
know and be able to do these things?
Example: To improve my basic math skills, I will
need to identify a math tutor who can spend time
with me each week. To participate in an evening
study group, I will need to ask my friends and
teachers of existing study groups including the
days and times they meet.

38. 4. What abilities and experience do I
already have that are going to help me
take these steps?
Example: I will talk to people I know who are in my
youth group, ask friends and teachers
involved in on-going study groups, etc.

39. 5. What obstacles might be in my way
and how can I deal with them?
Example: It will be difficult to find time to
participate in an evening study group because I
take care of my younger siblings. I will see if I can
get assistance from friends and see if
there are any day time study groups.

40. Read the statements one by
one and decide if the goals are
reachable or not reachable.
Circle your answer per
statement.

42. WHAT ARE THE FIVE WAYS TO ACHIEVE
YOUR GOALS?

43. 6: Mapping
Workplaces in your
Community

44. What is a workplace?
A workplace is a place with customers. They are of all
sizes and of any sector. There are government offices and
other services that you may not even think much about. A
workplace can be an informal livelihood like a sari-sari
store or a fisherman who has his own boat and sells his fish
to a cannery. Workplaces include places run by the
government such as schools and utility companies that
provide water and electricity. Workplaces are businesses
of all sizes, ranging from local businesses to large national
and international brands with well-known names.

46. Let’s Exercise!
Let’s count jobs! You have 15 minutes to
count how many jobs you can see. (For
example shopkeeper, bank teller,
security guard.)

47. Which workplaces are related to your
personal goals?

49. Part 3
Learning Style
Assessment

50. As you think critically about your learning
style, keep in mind the following:
People learn in different ways and often
combine learning styles to be able to
understand or do something new.
To do well at work, we need to use different
learning styles. We need a combination
of skills.

51. As you think critically about your learning
style, keep in mind the following:
Different people learn differently, so to work
well with others, we need to
understand that we all have different styles of
learning.
For example, in learning how to operate a new machine, a person may need to observe
someone else running it and then try it themselves with the guidance of someone
experienced. It is important to be aware of learning styles that do not work for you so
when learning something new you can be clear with others on how you learn best.

56. Tips on how to improve your learning:
If you learn best by listening...
• Read aloud information you need to do a job or to study.
• Ask people to explain things to you that you don't
understand.
• Study with other people.
• Call people on the phone instead of writing to them.
• Choose a job where listening plays an important role.

57. Tips on how to improve your learning:
If you learn best by viewing...
• Watch other people do the things that you are going to need to
know how to do. You will be able to visualize their actions later on.
• As you read something imagine what it would look like if it were
happening in real life or on TV.
• Take note of the shape and color of the things that you will want to
remember.
• Visualize telephone numbers and words in your mind.
• Use charts, graphs, pictures.

58. Tips on how to improve your learning:
If you learn best by doing...
• If given a choice, show others that you know how to do something
by showing them how you do it.
• Go on visits to places to see how things are actually done.
• When you have to learn how to do something new, watch
someone who actually doing it and ask them to coach you while
you do it.
• Choose a job that lets you work with your hands and move around.

59. Tips on how to improve your learning:
If you learn best by writing...
• When you read, underline and take notes as you read
along.
• Take notes when listening to instructions.
• Write down the things that you need to do. Make lists.
Keep a written schedule.
• Get a job that involves writing.

60. Tips on how to improve your learning:
If you learn best by reading...
• Take good notes and then read them later on.
• Read instructions instead of having someone tell you or
show you how to do something.
• Have people write down directions for you to read.
• Get information through the written word.
• Choose a job that requires reading.

61. Tips on how to improve your learning:
If you learn best by speaking...
• Ask questions when you don't understand something or
need clarification.
• Study with other people so that you can talk to them
about the new information.
• Repeat things right after you hear them in order to better
remember them.
• Choose a job that requires a lot of talking.

62. Sharing is caring
It is also important to strengthen your
weak learning styles. Select a
style that is weak and share ideas with
classmates for improving that learning
style.

63. Remember our values, qualities, interests and skills
help us to reach our goals. As we strive to reach our
long term goals, we need to set shorter term goals
and plan to help us get there. Often as we work
towards achieving our goals we are learning. We all
have different learning styles. Being aware of what
your learning style is will help you
advocate for what you need and will help you
perform better in your personal and professional
life.
