Goal Setting

Hello students. It is a great time to be in school. It is a wonderful feeling to have arrived at Grade 9. I am sure you can look back to when you first started kindergarten or preschool. No doubt you have pictures and various memorabilia of the occasion. Now after about 9 or more years you are in Grade 9. Wow! You are indeed growing. My simple challenge to you at this point is to set goals. Set goals for:

• GPA- Look at where you are now and where you would like to be by the end of Christmas term and at the end of Grade 9
• Study schedules - outline how much content you want to revise for given time periods. Utilise your study cards and follow your study time-table
• Grades - what you would want to achieve in the various subjects
• Personal growth - how you want to see yourself mature emotionally, socially, spiritually and intellectually
• Peer relationships - choosing how you relate and who you relate to. Are these peers building or tearing down your life
• BJC - how many subjects you will do. It is now time to begin studying!

Remember, you reap what you sow, so plan well and use your time well. Stick to the goals you have set and I am sure you will feel rewarded in due time.
