Why this goal is important: Several key sets of skills and
attitudes provide a strong foundation for achieving school and life
success. One involves knowing your emotions, how to manage
them, and ways to express them constructively. This enables one
to handle stress, control impulses, and motivate oneself to
persevere in overcoming obstacles to goal achievement. A related
set of skills involves accurately assessing your abilities and
interests, building strengths, and making effective use of family,
school, and community resources. Finally, it is critical for
students to be able to establish and monitor their progress toward
achieving academic and personal goals.
