Just My Thoughts

This paper is written by Stephen Gonzales and this is his Action Plan for the rest of the school year. My main goal was to go back to school. And my recruiter from A.I.U. Tiffany Swayed made it so easy for me to make that choice. Now my plan of Action is to make sure I stay with it and change my way of thinking and my outlook on life. I need to stay strong with my choices and remember at the end of the day. No one will care if I final or pass. So I have surrounded myself with strong working, independent people that have the drive to succeed in life.

The people that I surround myself with on a daily basis are the people that I love and care for. But really, each one of them is much more than that in my eyes. They are my motivation, my inspiration and my heroes. They have given me the strength and determination to go after my dreams. And in different ways, I get discipline, constructive criticism, and sometimes a pat on the back. After making the choice to go back to school, each one of them told me that they support my choice and will be there for me when needed.

Ideally, the first day of school would have been the first day the plan was implemented. However, the start of the third week is a better day then any to start a new plan. My daily habits and my way of thinking are going to be the key to me achieving my goals. My plan each day is to work harder today than I did yesterday and to study longer and more effectively than the week before. Also I will be changing my study habit, making sure I am two steps ahead rather than two steps behind like I was during the first two weeks of school. I believe that with this Plan of Action and my support group I feel I will be able to achieve my academic goals.
