Week #6 | Goals #1 - Writing Goals

A goal statement is usually a brief declaration of a desired outcome. It must be stated in a way that is measurable so you will know whether you have achieved the goal. The verb used in a goal is important because it describes the action taken to get there.

Examples:

• I will earn a Bachelor’s Degree from a four-year university.
• I will help protect the Anza-Borrega Desert from polluters.
• I will become more tolerant of others.
• I will become financially independent.
