My Long Term Goal
1) My long-term goal regarding SACE and after school in the future would be a nutritionist. In order for this to happen, I would need to do year 11 nutrition, year 12 food and hospitality, year 12 English, year 12 chemistry, year 12 physical education and year 12 biology. To be a nutritionist you need an atar of 98.50. I would ideally like to go to Flinders University for this course even though it is offered at many others such as Uni SA. This is because the Flinders University campus is the most appealing to me, and the support system available appears to be very good. To get more experience in my long-term goal I could volunteer at childcare centres to encourage young children to eat healthy from a young age.

These are things such as organisation and putting schoolwork first, finishing before the due date and communication with people who play different roles in your life. All these things would help me become a nutritionist, as they will help in future work life.

5) I advanced my personal development and learning capabilities during this goal setting exercise. The learning capability that I have developed is choosing how I study best. This is because know I have a good and certain environment where I can successfully do my work and study for exams or tests. My personal development advanced as I maintained good mental health throughout the time of doing my assignment. I believe it was due to not stressing as I completed the assignment early so there was no need to rush or stress at the end.

6) One thing I would do differently would be to aim higher in my goal. For this assignment my goal was ‘To complete my English assignment, which is to make an i-movie about a poem, by, the due date and achieve a minimum of a B grade’. For future assignments I should aim higher because then I will achieve better. So for all future assignments my aim will be to get an a- or
