A = ATTAINABLE A key factor in setting goals is to ensure our goals are attainable. We want to set goals that allow us to grow in our skills and knowledge and stretch our personal boundaries, but the goal still needs to be achievable. If the goal set requires too much growth and stretching, we will soon get discouraged and stop trying to reach it. Making a goal attainable may be more about being realistic about the timeframe than changing the specifics of the goal. For instance, you may need to break the goal down into short term tasks that you can complete with a little
In order to have a friendship that works or is healthy you have to argue sometimes to better understand the other person. This includes taking the time to see the full picture from time to time and actually setting yourself and your feelings aside for someone else. For example, if a friend told me he was having trouble concentrating on his studies and I just told him everything he was doing wrong that wouldn’t benefit him at all. However, if instead of throwing all my advice on him I just listen and ask questions I could see the complete picture and understand what the problem could be I could offer some help. This gives him confidence and allows him to be able to work on the problem without feeling ashamed.
If I would invest the time needed to organize I would have received a better grade. English has never been my forte in high school; I failed one whole semester because I was infected with senioritis. My mentality was that I didn’t HAVE to do anything because graduation was just around the corner, but boy was I wrong. This set of mentality pushed me back in my senior year and it prohibited me from enjoying my last year as my friends were living it up at all the parties while I was home finishing up my online class as a result of my failure. Online classes required self determination and a lot time.

Yet, it always easy to say but hard to do it. Sometimes, my thinking just comes out of nowhere and I do not even realized it. I do try to control my thinking when it starts heading to the bad direction. Most of the time when I think something is going to be bad or not the way I plan it, it ends up bad because I already think about it. On the other hand, if I do not think about it or tell myself that it is going to be fine, it usually nothing happens.
Things are not rational and have a tendency to become clouded and unclear. If this happens, it is best to step back from the situation and wait until your emotions have calmed. I for one, have much experience as an emotional thinker, and it has caused me nothing but anguish. As Ridel (2015) described, "There are shaping agents that hinder our thinking skills to become critical thinkers" (p.27). I have learned from my mistakes and improved my ability to calm my emotions and carry on a mature conversation, without ruining it by having an emotional outburst due to my bias opinions on the matter at hand.
Are they ready to change, are they not ready to change, or are they already making changes. Some things you could do if a person is not interested in change is raise doubt, provide information and keep an open door. A good way to provide information in a motivational way is to simply ask if it would be ok to provide some information.

My ninth grade was pretty cool until the last week of school I let my mouth get the best of me and said some things that I really should’ve not said and because I did I earned the next semester at the alternative school. When school started back I was very sad because I had to go to the “bad” school with all the “bad” kids and I was very nervous. Once I got there it was pretty cool and I really enjoyed it because the classes were smaller and you got more one on one help. My grades went up and my mom decided that I should spend the rest of the year there, which really messed me up because they did not offer any elective classes only the basics . My eleventh grade year was also a disaster because of the struggle of passing my biology state test and I was really distracted and just wanted to go back to the alternative school but my mom and the principle would not send me back.
The truth is, I knew that I was going to use an old paper, but procrastinated on revision. The morning of peer critique, I woke up in labor and knew that I was not going to make it to class. I had an old copy of the narrative and asked my sister to deliver it to Amber. It made it, but I was not able to ever make any revisions, so
