Introduction

In 2009, I got involved in I bad car accident that ended with me being hospitalized for a period of one month. This was because I incurred several severe injuries in my body including a partial memory loss. This was still the period I was in college pursuing my academics in my final senior year. In addition, I had four kids and a husband who demanded a lot of attention from me. This was very hectic for me because at that moment, I did not have a house help. I had also pitched nerves in my neck and disc herniations that had slipped in my back. This situation gave me a lot of discomfort throughout the learning period of which I finished my college in pain and still undergoing medications..

Specific steps to success

Through all those tribulations, I still had the academic and domestic goal to achieve. In this way, I had to balance my academics, my family chores and my medications. My life encompassed several important tools of success. First, I made sure that my goals and objectives where elaborate and specific. Meaning that, I kept a clear analysis of my intentions and purposes. This was done through identifying the chores that my family needed and my education too. In addition, I was to plan on my medication in a way to depict that I was careful about my health. It is important to analyze goals in order to come up with short-term and long-term goals. My long-term goal was education followed by medication and lastly my family. This was successful through emphasis on the specific goals according to urgency. On my case, I laid more concern with the immediate issues that was happening to me. This was because if I had poor health, then I could not serve my family and my academics as well. This triggered me to the point of having a formulated plan. This plan engulfed prescriptions of time management through which I had to plan my timetable regarding my studies and other chores that surrounded my life.

After having drawn my plan on how to accomplish all these obligations at hand, I had to take action to perform. Procrastination was no longer in my dictionary for this was to facilitate accomplishment of tasks in their specified period. In performing these tasks, I employed consideration in formulating steps to use as guidance towards realizing my goals. Every morning, I could wakeup at four with a positive mood to serve my children and my husband. In my mind through all those tribulations, my core factor was excelling in my final exam. That is why I had to keep reviewing and reaffirming my goal so that I may keep the faith of excellence. It was important of me to visualize because to achieve a goal, the dream must be kept alive in the mind. Visualization included keeping my goal in focus in everything that I did and by always motivating myself incase of any discouragement.

It took me a longer period to discover that I was successful and this helped me realize the value of patience. Success to me was a feeling of satisfaction that is accompanied by enthusiasm. After all that was ahead of me was accomplished the way I wanted, I felt success in my life. In short, my short-term goal assisted in realizing the long-term goal in such a way that I excelled academically and I recovered my health. After I had evaluated my goals, I saw that I had achieved and with this, I assumed the steps that I followed were valid.

How will you apply that experience to set goals and measure your success in the classroom?

Though this was a tough experience, goal setting was the key point to achieve success. In many situations like this where things are happening simultaneously, it requires that there be a formulation of a plan. Experience is an important tool in sharpening the mode of thinking through boundary elimination in the intelligence capacity.
