Goals help you strive for success by working towards completing them. You can create realistic goals by considering your interests, values, and life goals. Achievable goals should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and manageable in timeframe. To effectively manage your time, schedule schoolwork, home responsibilities, and outside activities separately in an agenda or calendar to stay organized and on track.

Module 2 Questions
• How do goals help you strive for success? Goals help you strive because you are counting on
reaching the finish line. Once you reach the finish line then you will count on reaching another
goal.
• How can you create and achieve realistic goals?You can create realistic goals by deciding what
your interests are, what you want to achieve in life, and the values that guide your life choices.
There are also five ways for you to achieve these goals: specific classes, measurable grade point
average, achievable goals, realistic dreams, and manageable time frame.
• How can you effectively manage your time? To effectively manage your time, you have to
manage your school work with your outside work. For instance, I have a calendar book and an
agenda that separates my school assignments from my home chores. I put my assignments and
projects in my agenda. My appointments and outside activities in my calendar book so that I can
keep track of everything. I am always effective with all my plans because I post them all and I
write them all.
 What are you good at and interested in? I’m good at dancing, studying, doing my assignments
on time, taking care of my child and I, and most importantly reaching my goals. I’m interested in
law studies and education. I love dealing with the law and I love making a difference in kids’
lives.
 What do you want to achieve? I want to achieve my dream in becoming an inspirational leader
in the law field. In eventually, reaching a higher a goal.
 What values guide your life choices? I have two values: my culture and my family/friends. My
Haitian culture is very strict when it comes to education. If you don’t have education they
eliminate you in their family tree. My family/ friends on the other hand are counting on me to
be a better person for my daughter and myself. I don’t want to let them down. I feel like even
though I’m doing this for me I still want to be a leader for my daughter.

2.  Why do people procrastinate? People feel like even though they dream big it’s never going to
happen. For instance, I can dream to be the president of the United States but I might not
believe because a female has never been the president before and because I have a Haitian
background. People procrastinate because they limitation in their life that is holding them back
from moving to the next step.
