STICK to it!

Learning how to set and  achieve goals is a life long skill. STICK is an acronym for a strategy that can help students work through a process to achieve their goal.

 S=Specifics. You must have an end in mind and know exactly how you will achieve it.

T=Time line. You must decide on when your goal needs be to completed.

I=I can do it. Make sure your goal is one you can reach.

C=Calculable. Is my goal written in a way that I can measure it. For example, I will get C's or 
     better this semester.

K= Know your limits. Set a goal that is neither too easy or too hard. Somewhere in the middle.
