As you read about in the textbook this week, goal-setting is an important strategy to manage your time and stay on track with your education. Reflect on the importance of goal-setting, and answer the following questions:

  1. Briefly, share a time when you set a goal and did not accomplish it, and then share a time when you set a goal and successfully achieved it. Why weren’t you successful in your first example? Why were you successful in your second example?
  2. Why does effective goal-setting help us achieve goals? What are the characteristics of good goals?
  3. Based on your answer to questions 1 and 2, set three goals: one short-term, one mid-term, and one long-term

In this submission, I will briefly share a time when I set a goal and did not accomplish it, and then share a time when I set a goal and successfully achieved it. Why I wasn’t successful in the first goal and why I was successful in the second goal. Why effective goal-setting help us achieve goals and the characteristics of good goals. I will also set three goals: one short term, one mid-term, and one long term.

In the year 2018, I set a goal to enroll for an online business course from one of the international universities head quartered in India but this goal never came to reality because I shared the idea to one of my former academic instructors in Uganda who through his advice changed my attitude from positive to negative regarding online courses. Thus, I never accomplished that goal in the year 2018.

With the outbreak of covid 19 and the subsequent total lockdown in Uganda, I regained the need to attain an online course since the country was in total lockdown, I set another goal to enroll for an online course by close of 2021. This time I searched for people who have ever attained education through online setting and I consulted them and surrounded myself with them. From their online life experiences shared with me, I regained the positive attitude towards online course and today I am a student of university of the people head quartered in United States of America.

I was not successful in the first goal that I set in 2018 purely because I developed negative attitude about online courses, based on the negative advice that I got from the people who surrounded me. Today, I have achieved my goal to enroll for an online course by close of 2021 because I changed by attitude from negativity to positivity.

Effective goal setting motivates and guides students. For instance, setting specified goal brings clarity and direction of focus to a student. Thus, helping goal achievement. Good goals should be: specific, realistic, time oriented, and attainable.

My goals as a student of University of the people are;-

Short term goal. Is to ensure that I succeed in my foundation course with first class score, between August and 30th September 2021.

My mid-term goal is to ensure that am successful enrolled as a student of Bachelor’s degree in computer science of the University of the People, between September 2021 and June 2022.

My long term goal is to work smart and ensure that I graduate with first class Bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of the People between July 2022 and 31st December 2026.
