My Smart Goal

Decent Essays
My SMART goals for this semester was to check in with my teachers every two weeks to make sure my grades are good and my other goal was to call my mom at least twice a week. I wasn’t successful in completing my academic SMART goal because I would always find myself doing something else. When it came to my personal goal, I was successful because I was able to call my mom and have a conversation with her. In order for me to achieve my academic goal next semester, I would make it more of a priority to talk to my professors about my grades. In the beginning of the semester, I procrastinated in my Philosophy class. The reason I would procrastinate is because I would get distracted by other things around me and have my attention on other classes.
