I believe that the goal experience introduced in class was a well organized way to view ones goals. experience is probably the easiest goal to achieve as it is what triggers the other two. contribution would be the most difficult because it is the true and final form of your goal.

This assignment was easy, goal setting was easy, writing about them was easy, nothing was too challenging. To make it more of an interesting assignment, the student should have to complete one of their goals in each column.

My thoughts on the goal exercise was that it made me think about my future. Before not knowing what i wanted in my life until i did this essay to help me focus on my goals. The easiest type of goal to set was experiences. Contributions was hardest out of the three. I think the most important goal is growth because you need to develop yourself in order to achieve the experiences you want to have in your life.

My thoughts on the goal exercise was that it was a really good way to make my lil hummies think about their future at the trap house and it made me think about my future and how i want to live the life of a jaspe. In my opinion the easiest goal for me to set was my experiences, however the other two, growth and contributions were quite hard for me because I never had any thought about how i want to grow myself and contribute to society. The most important out of the three for me is my experiences because i want to grow up and be able to tell stories about all of my experiences to my kids.

My opinion on this goal assignment, is that it really made me think. I personally have a really difficult time thinking about my future, so goals are tricky. Therefore, this assignment wasn't the easiest for me to think about. I believe growth was the easiest to figure out. Experiences were the hardest, simply because I personally don't know what I want to experience in life. Contributions was the most important because good things should always come back around.

The goals exersize was stimulating and exciting. It really made you think about the requirements and dedication that you have to have to getto where you want to go. It made you get straight to the point and not play around. It really makes you think about what you want to do and how your life will be because of it. I think contributions was the hardest because you lose sight of helping your community and contributing to your community can teach you skills that you need to get where you want to go.

I didnt mind the goal exercise, i like that we were showed a video of someone who knew what he was talking about and made it easy to understand. The easiest goal to set for me is contribution because there is so many things that you can do to make the world a better place, the hardest was experiences because i was thinking to logically. Lastly growth is most important because no matter what age you are you can always grow is some way.

The goals exercise was thought provoking, it really made me think about all of the different goals I wanted to complete in my life. It was easiest to come up with experience goals. Contributions were the hardest. I think growth was the most important however because without growth the experience and contribution goals are just thoughts and daydreams.

I found this exercise very helpful because it steers you in the right direction for your life. the easiest goals to set in my opinion were the end goals and the hardest to set were the contribution goals. i think your growth goals are the most important because without doing them you wont reach either of you 2 other goals.

I thought that the goal exercise was a little difficult. I barely know what I want to do tomorrow so it's hard to think of legitimate things that I would be able to accomplish later in life. The easiest goals to set were the experience goals, the hardest were the contribution goals. I think that it is definitely easier to say that you would like to go travel or build a house than it is to say what impact you would like to have on the world. The most important was definitely the contribution goals because it ties in to everything. The experiences you have and how you grow will shape you as a person and the person that you become will have an impact on the contributions you make.

I think this essay was easy to write because I'm writing about myself. I know the things I want to experience in life, so that was the easiest column to write about. Growths was a little bit more difficult, although its the most important column because the most difficult phase in life is working on yourself, but after you've changed the way you want to, everything else seems like a piece of cake. Contributions was important too, because we often forget to give back to the world after its given us so much.

The essay topic was easy. Thinking about what to put into words was a struggle. A goal I'd set for myself is to be more nice to everyone, just because you don't know what people go through and all deserve the chance to prove otherwise. Non of the three topics I found too challenging. My favorite would be goals, you can always set something for yourself, simple or hard.

I really enjoyed doing this exercise because its helping me decide how I'm going to plan my future. The easiest part for me was the experiences because my mom would always ask this question. Another easy one was the contribution because I always thought about giving back. But the hardest was the growth because I don't know how I'm going to achieve the things I want but with this exercise it made me think more about it. Overall this was a good exercise that I really enjoyed.

While doing this assignment I thought the first goal was the most easiest to come up with. To be a vet was the first thing I wrote down because I've always loved the thought of working with all types of animals. The hardest to choose from between, Experience, Growth, and Contribution, had to be contribution. Was most difficult because I'm not quiet sure how I would exactly give back to someone. But overall this assignment was helpful in many ways to motivate me more to reach all the goals I want in my life.

In my opinion, the Goals exercise made a positive influence on the realization of life. Prior, I had intertwined means goals and ends goals, and really just didn't know the difference. I now know the expirerences I would like to have, and how to go about achieving those experiences. I would say discovering what I want to do was easy, but finding ways to accomplish what I want to do (growth) was difficult as there will be no easy way to do it.

The goal exercise made me reflect on what I want to achieve this year and in my life. To me the easiest part was the contributions because I feel like there's a lot of different ways you can contribute around you. The hardest part of this exercise was the experiences that I wanted to have. I think that the most important one is the goal setting part because then you have something to motivate you to do good things.

This assignment was fairly easy. The hardest part I think was how my goals are going to contribute to society because I never really thought about it before, I used to focus in experiences more than anything so this assignment really helped me to open my eyes to the real world and it helped me to discover how I want to grow as a person. Growth also took a bit of thinking but I liked this assignment.

in my honest opinion i found the goals essay as inspiring and an eye opener. everything i wrote in my essay was all experiences that was exciting. my experiences are extreme in a way but thats what made my end goals even bigger and better. One thing im hoping to do before i reach my end goal is to contribute as much as possible. the first part in getting to your goal is first setting it up, then following through it is the second and final part. s my advicefor myself in general is to follow through with all my goals. So those goals are useless unless you follow through, and i will for sure.

I found the easiest goal to be my experiences. I guess it would be the easiest because it involves things I want to do and things I find fun. My hardest would be contribution. I feel like if I don't give enough to the world, nothing will be accomplished even if my dreams are. I want to help people left and right because if gives me a warm and happy feeling. There is only so much you can do, and it still wont feel like enough. I want that feeling to tell me that I have done enough, The essay was fairly easy. Writing down my growth was a bit hard as well. I've had to grow from trauma and though I am not completely there yet, my past gives me a hard time. My trauma appears in my dreams and I still struggle to grow from it all. I know i can not fully get over everything that has happened but I can try and It wont be easy.

This assignment, in my opinion, was somewhat of a "review" on how I plan to accomplish the goals I have already set for myself. It allowed me to think about the experiences I need/would like to have, and how they would benefit me as a person, and in turn, help me reach my goals. Lastly, it allowed me to genuinely think about how I could give back to society, because in all honesty, without the society we have today (although it is flawed), we wouldn't be able to have the chance to experiences the things we wish to. I think that our experiences are the most important, because they can shape/reshape the goals we may or may not have.

The goal essay was simply easy because most people have a dream or goal of some sort they try to achieve as they grow up to become adults. But even adult still have goals, maybe some people choose to strive for those goal more than others. contributions is probably the hardest think to do when trying to achieve your goal. but your growth when you go through life is the most important. it shows if your actually willing to do what it takes to achieve that goal of yours.

The goals exercise is a cool way to express what your future goals are. Coming up with the experiences part i thought was the easiest. Growth was the most difficult, and how you are going to contribute to the community is the second easiest. After all it falls on what your goals in life are and how hard your going to work to get them.

My thought on my goal exercise was to figure how my future will be and how i ail make it be. The easiest type of my goal set is how i will make it to be (like being a Nurse) what i must do to be what i want to achieve not all hands are the same, others are small others are big.(We are all soul having natural experience.I have to experience my goal so that i can get to my growth. ( Contribution is the hardest part because it is the first thing one must come up with.Growth is impotent because without it the experience and the contribution goals are just thought and dream thought but fighting on it to achieve them is ( rule of future achievement .)

I found this a good exercise because it made me look more in depth of how I want things to pan out in my life, but I feel like the subject was to broad to write in detail of it all.
