This semester I am trying to be more consistent with my school schedule. Having a schedule makes my day run smoother but i am not consistent at following my schedule. I get so busy with work that I ignore everything else. This semester I intend to better my writing skills. English is my second language and I have been avoiding this course because I know it will take me a lot of time writing my essays so here I am now taking this class and trying my best.

This semester I want to focus on time management, good grades, and balancing a social life. time management is a big thing for me because I am a very good procrastinator with a lot of things that need to be done. I want to make a weekly and daily schedule to fit everything I need to in a timely manner. I want to get all A's and high B's as I am planning to transfer to UNC Chapel Hill for dental hygiene. It has always been hard for me to balance my social life when I have school and work. my friends and family make me the happiest and I want to be able to incorporate them into my life more. I miss out on many things due to my own procrastination and bad time management. I believe if I get things done in a timely manner like I want to I can fit more things that bring me joy into my schedule.

I also want to keep my GPA up from the start so I can have more opportunities in the future. In high school, I started rough so this year I don't want to make the same mistake that I did in high school.

During this course my goals are to develop critical thinking skills, improve my writing, and learn to study more. Developing my critical thinking skills will help enhance the ability to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information in various sources. Improving writing includes learning how to construct well-supported arguments and effectively communicate ideas. Lastly, learning how to study will help me reach these goals quickly. Learning how to study will help me retain information more effectively and perform better academically. Good study will enable you to understand and remember material, manage your time, and reduce stress. It also helps in developing critical thinking and problem solving skills which are valuable in both academic and real world settings.

My main priority this semester is going to be time management. I am currently enrolled in 18 credit hours and work part time so I want to be very productive with my time.

My second goal would be success within my classes. I am striving to get all As in my courses, but beyond that I also want to master the concepts taught in the classes to apply them into my own life. My GPA is currently high and I would like to keep it as high as I can to keep myself competitive for transferring.

My second goal for this semester is to manage this class as best as I can, by using all the resources like the TLC to review, learn and fix all my struggles in this class in the most efficient way I can find.

For this semester my course goals are to stay ahead in all aspects of my classes. Especially the reading, as reading the text book is often my biggest struggle in a class. ADHD is a big hindrance for non interactive tasks, so good time management skills are essential for my success in this class.

The first time that I have taken English 111, I did not pass the class because I was struggling with citing my writing with the right style . Then, this is my second time taking English 111, that is why I am really trying this semester to master my writing skills. Thus , I can product a professional writing. Second, submitting my assignments on time is an important goal for me because I have to admit that I am a chronic procrastinator. In the past, I would submit my work very late which was always getting me in trouble. Finally, I hope to pass this class with a good grade, so I will not have to take it again. On the other hand, my plan is to take English 112 for the Spring semester, so it is imperative that I pass the English 111 class.

This semester I have 3 different goals

Goal 1: Attend all my classes, stay on track, and get good grades. This has been really difficult for me for my whole entire high school career because of my chronic illness, sometimes feeling as if it is holding me back. But this semester I am going to try my best to push through, despite the struggle.

Goal 2: Get a better grasp of how to write for a professional setting. My last job as a sales intern for a plane retailer, required me to stay in contact with clients and at times it would take me a long time to write the perfect email, and I would constantly overthink my writing ability. I hope to be able to improve my skills in that field this semester.

Goal 3: I am going to try to improve my resume writing. At the moment I have a lack luster resume, and I would like to learn how to make a cleaner resume in this class to use in my future career.

# data[].attributes.body
This semester my goal is to learn how to manage my time better. I also thrive to pass all my classes with a 80% or above. My goal is to be able to deal with everything calmly, with having 2 jobs, college and my personal life to deal with it seems like a lot. My last goal is put me first and take care of my priorities first and then whatever else there is.

-Denise Zelaya-Cadiz

# data[].attributes.body
This semester I have three main goals that I have in mind for this class. One is to become a better writer for myself and to convey that information to others effectively. Secondly I wish to utilize in school resources such as the tutoring programs or student help that I may need along this semester other than dwelling on possible issues I may encounter and doing nothing about them due to anxiety. Third is self-dependence, I am out of high school and I am required to take the responsibility for my work ethic and be proactive in completing my work on time.

This semester my first goal is to delve deep into the writing process and really find my voice. Which would involve sharpening my current skills, learning new skills, being open to feedback, participating in the resources offered to me (such as library, TLC), and making necessary revisions to my content. Secondly, I'd like to create a more optimal study schedule to ensure that I'm getting the most out of the material and resources provided to succeed in this class. I'd like to keep a steady motivation throughout the semester and that involves staying organized and focusing on time management. Finally, I'd like to end the semester with an "A" so that as I move to the next semester I am set up for success. I'll be confident in my writing process and therefore set up for continued success for my future classes.

This semester, one of my goals is to improve my planning skills and stick to a schedule so I can keep up with course work without being overwhelmed. Hopefully it will also help motivate me to do work. My second goal is to get more involved in school like getting into clubs and making friends in my classes. I tend to seclude myself because I am very introverted, but I often find myself feeling lonely so I would like to force myself to interact with others more. Finally, my third goal is to learn how to balance a job with school life. I've never had a job before but now I think I need to get started and learn how to manage my time to be both successful at work and school.

This semester I want to maintain a strong GPA in order to get accepted into a transfer program I am looking into. A side goal I have in order to achieve this goal is to go to the TLC as often as possible in order to review and study any concepts in all my classes. Another goal I have for this semester is to improve my writing skills in order to become a better writer.

# data[].attributes.body
Goal number 1 for me is to pick up new studying methods so I am better prepared for tests and even quizzes. Goal number 2 is to become more active in the classroom by raising my hand when class questions are asked and if we are called up to the front to share something. Goal number 3 is to use more of my resources because I tend not to use all of the resources I have when in school which could have been a huge positive influence on my grade.

This semester I intend to become a better writer when writing my essays or just responding to discussions in general. One of my main goals is always to keep a high grade in this class and stay on top of my assignments since I am taking the online course provided. Another goal is to always try my best in every assignment I turn in, I need to remember this is a college class and not a high school English class which means there are higher expectations. My final goal is to always take time to study for my quizzes and tests.

- Nalleli Trejos

For my first goal, I want to focus on being more specific in my studying approach. Rather than studying everything and hoping something sticks, my goal is to focus on my weaknesses and work from there. My second goal is to avoid shortcuts, like leafing through a book without full understanding. Instead, I want to focus on building fundamentals slowly and putting quality over quantity. My third goal is to take a more active role in my notetaking. I know how notes can become less useful over time due to being infrequent or basic. I will focus on frequently writing quality notes to be more active in learning in general. My final goal is to achieve excellent grades because it will show the effort that I have put in throughout the course.

This semester I want to get back into the groove and remember my old habits that'll help me succeed. If I'm being completely honest, I am not the strongest in English but I want to change this and improve in it. I want to fully commit and get the results I want like straight A's or B's. My 2nd goal is to be the best possible version of myself, whether its my body language or attitude. I want to work on this. My third and final goal is finding that balance to getting what you need done but also enjoying life too. It's all about balance and how you manage your time. I feel like I'm capable of getting these goals too.

This semester I intend to build stronger relationships with my professors by attending office hours and engaging with them on any concerns I may come across. I want to make sure they get to know me as not only a student, but as an individual. I want them to be aware that I care about the course they teach and that I’m willing to put all the effort into their given assignment's. Secondly, focusing more on my out of academic life, I am trying to improve my mental and physical well-being. I will do so by incorporating regular exercise and building a schedule that prioritizes the balance between my mental health and school. This goal falls into my final goal of sleeping earlier, I have a habit of procrastinating and I tend to leave a lot of my responsibilities last minute which ruins my sleep schedule and I don’t want to rely my every morning with caffeine. I’m aware that these stuff don’t change overnight but I’m more than willing to do anything it takes to become a better version of myself! <33

This semester my first goal is accomplished my course with my best version, just like a real social life, college is also the part in my life that I want to remember how hard and exciting I had been. With every class, I will try to push myself everyday not just pass the class but also to give the best shot with them. My next goal is preparation for my transfer like anyone else, university is the goal for every dream if you want to have the unforgettable memories in school life. And college especially ENG-111 course will help me a lot with academic English skills and experience from my professor to go toward to my goals. And the last of not least is networking with everyone, just only with friends but also with our professors who most likely dedicate and take care us every step on our journey. Actually that is one of the reason why I love college, where I can make friend and learn new things everyday.

One of my goals this semester is to reduce procrastination. I've had this issue for many years, and I'm finally ready to do what I can to stop this habit. I also hope taking this English class will improve my writing. I want to be more engaging and entertaining to my audience and I hope I develop the skills necessary for this. A personal non-academic goal I have is to be more confident in the way I express myself. In the past, I have put way too much thought into how others perceive me. It's an exhausting way of thinking and I'm done with it. - Shadia Milla Dimas

I would also like to make some new friends, I am a shy person, so I hope to have the courage to speak up more and make new friendships.

This semester, I intend to improve my in school work ethic to achieve good, consistent grades. School can be very overwhelming for me, so that's why it's important for me to uphold a strong work ethic through organization and consistency so I can achieve the grades that I desire. English class has always been a struggle for me due to my distaste for writing and impatience for reading. My next goal is that I will take my time with my work and learn to enjoy English, as it is a fundamental skill whose mastery greatly benefits my future. Lastly, I want to steer away from using grammar checkers like Grammarly for some of my work. I have realized that my grammar will never improve if someone else is correcting it for me, and by improving my grammar and trusting my work, I will become a better writer.

This semester, I aspire and will dedicate myself to fulfil the following main three listed goals that I have set for myself. My first goal consists of my desire to develop an efficient writing style where I can convey any message wanted in a concise yet effective manner. My second desired goal is to improve within the area of writing with proper grammar and recognising grammatical errors within other pieces of literature. My last goal out of the main three, is to find my own voice within my writing and work towards discovering what topics and messages I truly want to write. I really hope to achieve these goal's with the combination of analysing the unique perspectives within different pieces of literature and applying the given lessons/critique throughout this semester to create my own unique method and perspective within writing.

This semester, I have a number of goals. These goals start with really trying to immerse myself into the world of the english language arts. In order to do this I am hoping I will want read more, mainly the "classics". This semester I intend to create all my projects/essays with as much imagination and talent as I have, while also taking as much constructive criticism as I am given to further develop my talents as a writer. But finally, I want to be better at handling the amount of work from this class and my time in general while still being in highscool.

This semester I am looking to engage with and retain all the learning and knowledge from this class and my other classes. I want to expand my intelligence to the fullest and make the most of this learning opportunity. A second goal would be to walk out of class feeling satisfied, knowing that I have achieved a high GPA and successful grades reflecting my effort throughout the semester (only A's and B's). And last but not least, goal is to connect with people in the network related to the business and marketing program and community. In other words, I want to meet successful people who can bring me closer to this great field.

I want to stay on top of it and prove to myself that I can do it if I really try!

This semester my goal is to try meet new people and be able to actually become a better writer. Being able to balance school and work life without falling behind. This semester I intend to become stronger with every class I take and be able to really understand what I am learning, to be able to ask question when I feel confused. I want to continue to keep my GPA in the same spot or even make it go higher,

This semester my first goal is to be more involved in my classes. In high school, I did the bare minimum and lacked a lot of motivation. However, this year I am going to change that by going the extra mile and committing to my work even on the days I feel like doing nothing. My second goal is to be on top of my work, I cannot afford to fall behind anymore and I know going into this school year that I have to leave that version of me behind. My final goal is to achieve A's in all my classes. I know if I not only live up to the standard that I have set for myself but also take advantage of Wake Techs resources, I am more than capable of doing so. -Preston Jones

My third goal is to find balance with everything going on in my life and achieve being successful while also having a fun time doing it.

This semester I intend to become a better writer by developing more advanced writing skills as well as putting to use the ones I already know and sharpening them up. With that being said, in order for this to happen I will try and use all the resources offered to me here at Wake Tech to become a better and more efficient writer, such as visiting the ILC and setting up meeting times with my teacher if necessary. My last and final goal is to be more involved in class and participate during lessons as well as communicate and befriend my classmates.

This semester, I have set some specific goals for myself in order to achieve academic success and ultimately get accepted into NC State. Firstly, my primary focus is on maintaining A's and B's in all of my classes. By earning these high grades, I am setting myself up for a strong academic record that will impress admissions committees. In addition to striving for top grades, I am also committed to improving my overall work ethic. I plan to focus more during class discussions, actively participate in group projects, and make a concerted effort to turn in all assignments before the due date. This will not only help me avoid last-minute stress and rushing to complete tasks, but it will also demonstrate to my professors that I am a responsible and dedicated student.
Furthermore, I am determined to explore and implement more effective study methods. I understand the importance of finding techniques that work best for me in order to stay focused and retain information effectively. Whether it's creating detailed study schedules, utilizing flashcards, or seeking out additional resources, I am dedicated to finding what works best for me and sticking to it.

This semester I am trying to successfully complete every assignment before due date so I can get early bird access to most of my work and pass this class with a B+ or above. I intend to learn all the sophisticated techniques to make all my writing look better whether it's on an essay, email, or even a birthday card. I intend to participate in every discussion and get proper feedback to everything I submit. I am not a big fan of writing, and I haven't done it profoundly so it's going to be a struggle for me, but I intend to change my personal opinion on it hopefully for better.

My second goal of this semester is to get better at writing essays because it's something I struggle with and I want to be more well rounded in all subject areas.

My third goal of this semester is to just stay on top of my classes and get good grades.

This semester I intend to finish assignments before the due date, get good grades, have a better balance with school and work. Being able to learn how to be more creative and show myself out there more. English isn't something I'm good at but I am willing to push myself. I do struggle on grammar here and there so I am hoping I'll get that fixed soon as possible.

I want to make some changes to my learning style this semester. I'm going to start by learning how to plan my day. To motivate myself, I want to employ several beneficial time-management applications and reward systems after completing that week's work. The second step is to implement whatever I've learned in class and make good use of the available resources. I wanted to have a good attitude on life, which would reflect on both myself and others. I hope to become a skilled writer while also learning more about citations for future works.

This semester, one of my goals is to keep up with studying for my classes. Another goal of mine is to be better about turning in assignments on time, preferably early. My final goal for this semester is to find a proper work life balance, rather than all in on one or the other.

This semester, some of my goals include, one being more on top of all of my work like quizzes, tests, and assignments. Meaning I will be on top of all the due dates and give it all my attention. Two, I want to have a good work and life balance. I tend to go extreme on my lifestyle and not pay too much attention to my schooling, or pay too much attention to my schooling and forget all about my social life, so I want to make it a priority to keep a good balance between those 2 worlds, and a third goal I have for myself is to stay positive and not stress too much about the little things, I really enjoy writing and I hope I can create a positive and stress free environment for not only this class but all my other classes, so I can still keep my love for writing.

This semester, I'm trying to apply myself to the best of my ability, as this is my first time in online classes, and I haven't been in a college setting in years. I'm also trying to develop better studying skills and get ahead in my classes so I don't worry much about failing or forgetting something. I would have to say my last goal is learning how to write better, as I've always struggled with it. English has never been my favorite class because of it. Regardless, I'm looking forward to everything this semester and class has to offer.

I am also looking forward to jumping back into school. Being away from school for so long I know I am a little rusty, so I aim to be on time with all my assignments and meet all the criteria my professors set.

Lastly. I plan to take advantage of the resources and tools that are provided to me such as the English and Writing TLC.
