Hi folks
When I was in my last year at school, we had one of those 'careers guidance' lessons (one of many). I remember the teacher telling us about some research, showing a sample of people who'd written down goals for ten years had been more successful in achieving them, than people who'd just said "this is what I want to do".
My life has pretty much been saying "this is what I want to do", however the last couple of years I've tried to write down goals and found I am actually looking back at them and seeing if I'm closer to achieving them. I know it just makes sense... But anyway. Do you have any goals for this year?
Mine are to no longer house share and to get my own place, and finally learn to drive. I wrote these down the start of the year, and applied for my provisional licence the start of January. Because of my history with epilepsy I've never applied before, however it's finally under control and been two years now since my last seizures. It's naturally taken a lot of form-filling, but I've been approved so I'm finally going to learn! It's mainly so I can visit home without a four hour train journey.
Sorry for this long intro, but yeah, any goals you have for this year? It'd be nice if we're here next year to see if we achieved them.
