This year I…

• I plan on being an active listener. In class sometimes I am not fully focused on what the teacher is saying. I have realized that this makes it harder for me to remember what we did in class and sometimes I miss very important points or even due dates. I plan on doing my work after the teacher is done speaking and not going on my phone or laptop while they’re speaking either.
• I plan on figuring out how I learn the best. I know that I can learn quite well in a few ways but I am not completely sure in which way I learn the best. For example, as I mentioned in my goal before this, I learn better when I hear what’s going on, but I’m not sure if that’s just because the teacher is giving more information while speaking, than is on the handouts. I plan on figuring this out by trying a variety of different study methods this year.
• I plan on communicating more clearly and purposefully. I’ve noticed that when in a group I have the tendency to sometimes make my ideas vague and therefore pretty much pointless. I also have noticed that I speak quite quietly. So this year I will think about how I can present my ideas more clearly before I speak and speak louder and more clearly.
