What do you aspire to achieve in Semester Two?

Write a post focusing on a personal aspiration.
1. Area of Improvement
2. How can you measure change?
3. What strategies can you put in place to achieve it?
4. Is it realistic?
5. Timeframe. ]]> 2017-06-18 08:40:42 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176751673 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786877 My aspiration is to achieve something both me and my parents can be proud of. A way I could measure my change and achievement would be by praise. Being told positive things would motivate me and make me aware of change. A strategy I can use would be starting to do homework when its given out and not rushing it right before its due. This would improve my grades and my understanding of the work. Another strategy would be to concentrate more in class. By doing this it would further my GPA and knowledge of coursework. I believe this is achievable. I just need to buckle down and most of the rest will come easier and smoother. I would like to achieve this by the end of year 9.]]> 2017-06-18 23:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786877 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786881 2017-06-18 23:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786881 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786892 2017-06-18 23:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786892 uwl0003 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786913 My aspiration is to become better at football and win the premiership flag, I could measure the change by by seeing if my team won the premiership. I could go to every single training session for the rest of the season. I think it is realistic as we are already third and lost against the top team by 19 points. The time frame would be approximately 10 weeks until the end of the season. ]]> 2017-06-18 23:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786913 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786929 My aspiration is to focus on something that has been a problem for a while. I happen to have extensive struggles with things I am afraid of, and with making friends I can trust.
I want to get at my worst fear, the fear of the beach and what inhabits it. I know I would have done something if I feel less uncomfortable and hating towards the concept of visiting this location. I have experienced some horrible things on beaches, which most people would just find stupid and novel. Torture is one-sided, I suppose. 
To achieve my goal there is only a few things I can do, most of them I am already silently dreading. I must visit beaches with people I trust, learn about life in them and how it is not as dangerous as I wish, and play Subnautica, which as a water-simulator game where death is always sitting behind you, I must face all my fears at once.
Is it realistic? I feel that it is not. Fears are more set in than most think. It's not a matter of courage, after all. But I don't like being picked on for being scared, so I'm willing to try.
The timeframe will most likely run through my entire life, so halting a fear just in a few months isn't going to happen. I am looking, however, to start this process in Semester two, as it will lead the way across the bridge. ]]> 2017-06-18 23:33:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786929 DaRealSteve https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786984 My aspiration is to make a (very small) game by the end of the year. I can measure this by the amount of the goal I have achieved by the end of the semester. I can make sure I put a little bit of work towards the goal each week. It is realistic, I feel like I could do it if I work hard. I want to achieve it by the end of the term.]]> 2017-06-18 23:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786984 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786989 To be more confident and not afraid to make mistakes.
I need to be more confident by asking more questions in class and also contributing more to class. I can measure this change by a rise in my GPA in the contributing to class area. Each class I can contribute slightly more than the previous class. I will eventually contribute at least 5 times each class. This is realistic because it is not that hard to achieve, I just need to be confident. I hope to achieve this by the end of Term 3.]]> 2017-06-18 23:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786989 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786992 My aspiration for this semester is to work towards limiting my free time spent doing gaming or watching youtube or twitch and start making more contributions towards my homework and studies.
1.  More time spent off electronics and more time spent studying and more time spent  doing study and homework.
2.  Amount of work being completed compared to how much game time I have spent.
3. I need to train myself to learn to put my homework first before I spend my time watching videos.
4. I believe this goal is realistic and certainly  achievable  if I'm able to put my mind to it and learn to do my work before rewarding myself with free time.
5. A couple of years at most but hopefully soon.  ]]> 2017-06-18 23:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176786992 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787006 2017-06-18 23:33:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787006 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787021 My aspiration is to stop procrastinating as much with everything and start organizing myself more as well as getting a part time job by the end of the semester. 
I could measure change by seeing my homework in on time.
A strategy i could use to stop procrastinating is to start doing homework the day I get it and to maybe put in a resume.
Yes it is realistic.
By the end of the semester.]]> 2017-06-18 23:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787021 bry0015 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787034 I need to stop gaming and get my work done.
1.  I need to focus more on school
2.  Work is getting done
3. Organised time better
4.  yes
5. 1 week - end of year]]> 2017-06-18 23:34:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787034 bor0023 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787041 My aspiration is to get a part time job before the end of the semester  and cut down the amount of time i spend on my phone or watching TV. I want to work towards going to sleep earlier and putting my phone away by 9:30.I want to dedicate more of my time to training and being outside whilst also working on my family relationships . I believe all the goals are realistic and achievable by the end of term three .I also want to straighten ajax's hair by the end of term 3.

I will be able to measure my aspirations by reflecting on my performance during and after my soccer matches.
I can get feedback from my team mates, coaches, friends and family on how I can improve my mindset on the pitch.
I believe that this is realistic for this season/year.]]> 2017-06-18 23:34:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787048 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787119 to be more confident, skillful and relaxed on the soccer field. I will measure my aspiration by betting feedback from my coaches and friends after my training and soccer matches. The way i will improve is by practicing even when i dont have soccer trainig and trying my best in training alswell as on the match day. I really think that this aspiration is realistic and that it can be achieved. I believe that this might not end untill i stop playing soccer. I think that i should always thry to become better

I can measure this by seeing more things I want to achieve happen like getting a part-time job.

I could do this by going to sleep by 10 every night, especially  on Fridays so that I can play sport on the weekend. I could also make sure to do important stuff as soon as I get home, like homework or cleaning, so that I can get those out of the way.

I hope that I will see some improvement by the end of the term, hopefully by having a part-time job]]> 2017-06-18 23:36:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787209 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787237 2017-06-18 23:36:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787237 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787281 My Aspiration is to ]]> 2017-06-18 23:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787281 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787345 By the end of the semester I would like to get a part time job in the retail industry. I need to improve my register skills and I can measure my change by focusing on my volunteering and continue gaining my skills. I think my goal is realistic and achievable and I would like to achieve this before Christmas. I would also like to completely cut out carbonated drinks and chocolate. I hope to at least stop eating chocolate for a month same for carbonated drinks. I would also like to put all electronic devices down by 8:30 and read more. I think all of these goals are realistic and very achievable. ]]> 2017-06-18 23:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787345 https://padlet.com/gates_natalie_n/9diky9aznmz4/wish/176787351 My aspiration is to focus on balancing the amount of time I do homework with more important  things in life such as spending time with family and on other hobbies. I also want to get to Masters in Overwatch. I can measure this change by looking at the amount of time that I spend with my family each night, the amount of time I spend on homework and the amount of time I spend on other hobbies such as video editing, and gaming. I think that I can evenly spread out my homework rather than not do it all at once and rush it all in one night.
I believe that it is realistic and I can plan to do this by the end of the year.

By doing this, I will be able to do my homework at a set time and I won't leave it to the last minute. I will be able to have a set sleep schedule so i won't be tired at school all the time.

If I ask more questions, I might be able to do better in my work. I will see how many questions I ask this week and then by the end of next term see how many question I ask in a week. I can ask questions I might know the answer to, to make sure I understand what is happening in class. Yes, it is a realistic aspiration because I am able to complete it at school. I can to it during any class. I will give it 1 term so that I have a way of measuring my aspiration.

To work towards this I would like to create a routine and spend less time on technology so I have time to do other things as well.  I can see this change if I have more time to do other things. My time frame is a soon as possible but I need to do this by the end of this year and semester so I am able to try out for the state team.
