CONGRATULATIONS!

You have almost come to the end of this book, and you are ready to move to the next stage in your studies. This is a good time to reflect on what you have accomplished so far.

Review Your SMART Goals

Go back to the SMART goals you set for yourself in Unit 1. Did you achieve them?

If you did, that’s great! Why do you think you were successful? What was helpful to you? Use this knowledge to plan for your next course.
If you didn’t quite achieve your goals, don’t worry. Sometimes success takes a little longer. Think about what didn’t work for you, and how you can help yourself next time. Never give up!

Write your thoughts about your goals in the space below.

Asking for Help

Remember that you are never alone as you work towards success in college. There are always people who can help you. This is a good time to make sure you are familiar with the resources and services offered by your own college.

Look at the following concerns that college students often have. If you have these concerns, who can you ask for help? Use your college website or discuss these questions with your teacher. Where can you get some answers

I don’t know what my goals are. I can’t decide on a career.
