     SUCCESS BEGINS WITH 
     GOALS
     Goals! A goal is a desired result that you envision and then plan 
     and commit to achieve. 
     Goals can relate to family, education, career, wellness, spirituality, 
     and many other areas of your life. 
     Generally, goals are associated with finite time expectations, even 
     deadlines.
     SUCCESS BEGINS WITH 
     GOALS
      As a college student, many of your goals are defined for you. 
     a. You must take certain courses 
     b. Comply with certain terms and schedules 
     c. Turn in assignments at specified times
      But there are plenty of goals for you to define yourself. 
     a. You decide what you’d like to major in. 
     b. You decide how long you are going to be in college  
     c. You decide what terms you want to enroll in
      
      What else do you decide as a college student?
