S.M.A.RT Goals by Hayley Talbott

Goal #1 High School

10htalbott — 2025-08-27 17:44:42 UTC

I want to graduate High School with a 3.5 GPA or higher with challenging classes. Achieving this goal could help me with other goal I have set in the future and will help me get into good colleges(Texas A&M) with a good education that will help set me up for my future. I want this goal to be complete by June-August of 2029. To help me reach my goal, I would need to start challenging myself by taking harder classes such as AP classes. I would also need to put extra time into my work to show my teachers I am able to do more challenging work. Although some issue I may have to deal with is getting a bad teacher that doesn't know how to teach. I can however, use my friends and parents to help me understand the content, and I can also study more on my own.\

Start studying with peers who are smarter then me to help me understand the content that is being taught.

Goal #2 Softball

I want to be able to play in college at Texas A&M as a middle infielder or an outfielder. This goal is very important to me because I can get scholarships for many schools. I can also make money if I play D1. This goal needs to be accomplished by August of 2029. To help me reach my goals I need to start posting myself playing softball so I can get college's attention. Getting good grades in high school can help me attend schools that I want to attend to. I may face some challenges such as getting hurt to the point were I can't play softball at all. Even if I get hurt I can still be involved in softball by coaching and get better at softball by watching.

Every season (before and after) check in with my dad and coach to see the progress I have made based on what they think.

Get the attention of the Texas A&M coach by going to their camps.
