Reflection 2

Everyone in the world have goals in their life such as earning a lot money, get a good job, get good result, safe people's life and more. A person is said to be living a meaningful life if they have a goal to work towards it. If not, they don't know what is the reason they are still living. So, we can conclude that A person without goal is equal to a person without life.They are many type of goals such as short term goal and long term goal. Short term goal is those that we aim to achieve in short period such as getting good results in exam or even finish reading a book. Long term goal is goals that we wish to achieve in a long period such as our goal in life like becoming a rich person or getting famous as a professional person in particular field. 

My goal

After attending few weeks of mpu lessons, I had set up my goal as to get 4A* s so that I can achieve my dream to become a clinical psychologist. A goal is something that we look forward to achieve and what we aim for. As I started my A levels program, I started to think what is my path in the future. As I decided to do psychology as major subject in university and take clinical psychology as my master program, I know that I need to get a good result to enter good universities such as Monash or even Harvard so that I can know the best of this subject. How ever, good universities need good results. I believe that 4A*s will give me more chance.

Interpret my goal

Getting 4A*s in A level examination means that I need to get full A* for every subject I took since I only take 4 subjects which is biology. chemistry, physics and mathematics. A* means that I score 90 marks and above in average in my AS and A2 examinations. Each subject have 5 papers in total and thus, I need to score more than 90 marks as average in 20 papers. I need to handle 4 subjects and practice for more than 10 papers in 1.5 year. This will be a tough challenge.

Evaluate the goal.

Although it is hard to achieve, I still think that it is not impossible for me it get it in 1.5 years time. My confidence came from seeing so many people from all over the world got 4A* every year. Since they manage to get why I can't? By seeing so many examples, I know that it is achievable. The only thing that I need to do is to work harder. Getting 90 marks and above is possible as the subjects I took is science subjects and maths which have a rights answer for every questions. Thus, as long as I know the answer, I can score for that question. I can even count for the marks I score or I lose easily when I do my own exercise. Thus, this is definitely achievable.

Plan my goal

In order to achieve my goal, I need to have a positive mindset and believe that I can do this. Being confidence is my first step in achieving my goal, Next, I need to work hard and do consistent study so that I can catch up with what I learned everyday and remember what I had learnt in previous lessons. I need to set up a time table and follow the time table I set so that I can manage my time well to revise all 4 subject and not leaving 1 subject behind. Other than that, I need to do more exercises so that I will be familiar with the answering skill and types of questions that they commonly asked. I will also know which part of the subject that I do not understand well and know where to study more by doing more exercise. This will help me in understanding the subject too. After that, I can search through internet or ask for help if I do not understand certain things in my studies.

In conclusion, My goal is to get 4A*s. It is achievable since a lot of people got it every year. In order to get it, I need to study more, do more exercise and seek for help if I do not understand something.
