3. Homesickness
4. Sickness or health condition
5. Social problems

S.M.A.R.T goals

• What specifically do you want to do?
➢ The hardest obstacles that I have to overcome is the time management. This is
because student’s life leads to enjoyment of freedom that college life can bring
and it can cause me to hit the wall of freedom overload. In no time, our free time
will get filled with competing demands, which will put even more stress on my
attempts to adjust my educational environment.

• How will you know when you’ve reached it?
➢ I use my mistakes as teaching opportunities. My failures can be my biggest tools
for implementing change if I pay my full attention. I need to find out what went
wrong, where and how and then I’ll know what to do differently next time.

➢ Be resilient. Resilience is the foundation upon which time management ability
rest. Resiliency goes beyond being smart or motivated to succeed. It means that I
have to be strong to withstand the difficult times while deciding to persevere
while steadfastly holding onto my optimism about solving any given obstacles.

the bottom. I will also set realistic expectations. Organize my schedule according

fall to the wayside as I prepare myself for these upcoming tests. I will let my

space I need.

until the night before exams. When in a study groups with my friends, I have to be
present at a specific times and not be able to procrastinate.

• How will you know when you’ve reached it?
➢ When working together with friends and forms a study groups, we can generally
learn faster and understand it easier. For example, some part of the textbook that
seem completely confusing to me could be quite clear to my friends. In a study
groups, instead of spending valuable time puzzling over the difficulty, I can learn
quickly by simply asking a question.

• Is it in your power to accomplish it?
➢ Yes. I can form an effective study groups with my friends because we all
committed to achieve a good grade. I will form a group of three to five members
of my friends who can meet for between one to three hours. Study sessions less
than an hour are likely to be rushed.

• Can you realistically achieve it?

obvious, but staying organized and focused can be challenging when working
with a groups especially with my friends. There should be a group leader so that
the group will stay organized and under control.

and time. This way, the members can have time to properly prepare prior to
meeting with the group.

way he or she wants a paper organized, and it’s best to know them before I start to
write. I need to understand the reference system and all the mechanics of the
paper.

• How will you know when you’ve reached it?

to cram everything in.

class. Therefore, it is important to have good class notes.

• How will you know when you’ve reached it?

information that the instructor delivered to me. In my notes, I underline or star the
most important information so I can pay special attention to it when studying.

but I will also be thinking about and trying to understand the information being
presented.

ideas and topics. I will also don’t have to worry about the grammar or

missed classes, I will miss lectures, notes, discussions, explanations, and
assignments. I won’t think that missing a class won’t make a different.
