During college, students face challenges on where they would like to go in their career. Behrens and Nauta (2014) say, “Approximately 50% of students indicate they have decided on a career by the time they enter college, over half of those with declared majors change them at least once, suggesting their goals are often still in flux” (p. 224). College students are open to career exploration, however, the challenge of making a decision causes great distress. It is most concerning when students…
make sure my academic plan works out for my college career, because I am very goal driven and I will not accept failure. Some of my strengths include being goal focused, having the drive to keep myself on task, and being brutally honest with myself by accepting and asking for help when I need too. Some areas that I need to work on include time management because I am working full time, staying focused on assignments that I see no interest in, and taking point during group projects so my…

The yearly plan is an overview of your year, it can be…

Action Plan Evaluation When looking back on my action plan and how much of what we planned actually got done, I can see that as a class, we made an effort to stick to it – I just don’t think we made enough of an effort and I think we could have completed nearly everything when we planned to if we tried hard enough. On multiple occasions we moved dates forward because we hadn’t completed them. For example, on the 12th November, we were supposed to have auditions but we had to move that to the…
