Finding Purpose


1.       Make a list of reasons why you are in school which come from your parents, culture and other external influences.

  • To learn how to be successful in the future
  • To gain the qualifications I need to enter university
  • To meet my parents expectations
  • To socialize
  • To prepare for work life

2.       Explain why you come to school, why your grades are what they are and relate it to your effort. Are you getting the grades you want according to your goals?

The primary reason that I am in school is the gain the qualifications I need to enter university.  This is directly related to the grades I receive.  In general, I am happy with my grades.  My science and French marks especially.  To meet the requirements for university, I need advanced functions and calculus.  To be able to succeed in those math classes, I need to put more effort into math now.  My math grade is not where I want it to be.  I will start to put more effort into math, and then my grade should start to meet my goals.

3.       What goals you have made this year and achieved? Think of small goals too (making a sports team, winning something, doing well in an assignment). If none – explain why.

·       Captain of the volleyball team
·       Mentored a middle school robotics team
·       Achieved an 85% grade 9 average
·       Made it through culminatings with limited coffee consumption
·       Got a summer job doing something I enjoy
·       Completed my volunteer hours, and then some
·       Competed in an international robotics competition

4.       Name some goals do you have in the next 4 years? If none, explain why

·       Get 10 hours of sleep a night
·       Maintain an 85% average throughout high school
·       Continue to participate in the school volleyball team
·       Attend the University of Waterloo for mechanical engineering
·       Continue to have an active role mentoring middle school robotics teams.
·       Continue to participate on my high school robotics team
