TOOL 9: SETTING YOUR GOALS
To help you set your goals, 11 goal categories are listed in the following table. Beside the
categories that are important to you, write down your short-term goals (six months to one
year) and your long-term goals (one to five years). It may be helpful to work with your
parent(s) or guardian(s) in setting your goals as they may have suggestions and insights.
