Decent Essays
A time I set and achieved a long term personal goal was when I finally got on a winning team in softball. I know winning isn’t everything, but it is nice to win. I put in a lot of hard work into the game. It sucks to be on a team that doesn’t try. This year I was on a hard working team. I wanted to be on a good team for a long time. I’m happy I was on a hard working team. We won the championship so that is another long term goal that I have achieved.

    Goals can be either long term or short term, and some goals require different skills than others. Playing softball taught me how to set my goals within my capabilities and taught me that in order to achieve those goals it takes more than physical work but mental toughness as well.
