New goal

My short term goal right now is to get past my math class.
I made a list of my accomplishments and according to that list
I will be able to do it if I put my mind to it.
My parents and teachers will be able to help me through
giveing me support and encouragement and then help if I need it.
I should be able to accomplish this by at max the end of the semester.

Jim,
I also find it very helpful to write out a list of goals I want to accomplish by a certain date. It is different to see your goal in writing versus just thinking it in your head. I find that sharing my goals with people motivates me as well as holds me accountable with them for achieving the goals.
