What is a goal?
A goal is something you are trying to do or achieve. Goals should follow the SMART parameters.
Specific - Write down exactly what you want.
Measurable - You should be able to track progress toward your goal.
Achievable - Make sure your goal is practical and obtainable for you.
Relevant - Make sure your goals are relevant to your education, career intentions, and people from whom you will need help and support.
Time-bound - Set a deadline for achieving your goal. This helps you remain focused.
A goal that is defined within these parameters helps ensure that objectives are attainable within the set time frame.
