Goals are stepping stones in making dreams a reality. I am an advocate of goal-setting; personal, educational, and career goals are all substantially relevant in acquiring success. Currently, I am working towards my academic success in high school, and I am doing quite well. I have maintained an unweighed cumulative GPA of 4.00 and a weighted GPA of 4.50. To achieve this consistency, I set daily goals to motivate and propel me forward. I believe that the small responsibilities accumulate for bigger responsibilities.
