The goals I set at the beginning of the year were to be a good, responsible kid that pays attention in class and makes good grades. I achieved most of the goals I set throughout the year, but I do want to accomplish better grades next year than I have now because I have good grades, but they could be better. I also could pay more attention in class and focus better with less distractions. My goals for next year are to get better grades, be more involved with all the activities throughout school, focus more, pay attention in class more, and to understand each concept my teacher is teaching better. I want to accomplish all of the things to benefit myself. These things will help me for my future success. My past goals have helped me realize that some things are more important than others and that I should start making my decisions wisely. Even when I did not succeed in these goals it just reminded me that I just need to keep trying and eventually I will get there. My past goals show me how much I've grown and how much I still want to improve. Looking back on my past goals, I had intentions that gave me a sense of direction and purpose.
