A Goal to Finish
My goal last grade period was to read one book, which was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. I was to read 30 minutes per school day until the end of the grading period. Unfortunately, I did not meet my goal of finishing the book nor reading everyday. I did not had time for reading and that I did not have the motivation. I also learned many things about setting a goal.
It was very difficult for me to find time for me to read 30 minutes a day, therefore I was not able to finish the book. I usually had ponderous amount of time wasted on homework that did not help me read the book. On an average day, I would go home around 4:00PM since that is when Calculus tutoring ends. Then I would spend roughly 4-5 hours on my homework from all my classes. Then I would eat dinner and then go to bed. The days that I manage to read was because I had little homework so I finished it early. I failed to find a time interval in my daily routine to read. I was not as motivated enough for me to put this goal on …show more content…
Their homework and time to study is on the top of my list. If I had to chose to study for the test or read. I would chose study because I really wanted to pass that test. I learn that I do not enjoy reading enough to try to read everyday. For example, this one day, I had time to only read my APUSH textbook for a chapter quiz or my reading goal book. Obviously, I choose to read for my APUSH quiz over my reading goal. This meant that I had only cared for my APUSH quiz over my reading goal. I did not considered to try to do both but instead I just studied for APUSH. As I can see, I could have finished the book on time if I had read everyday for that 30 minutes. I learn that for reaching my goals I have to have a passion for it. If I do not want to read it, then it have no meaning to me why I should focus on completing the goal. I would push it off until I feel like doing
