Goal
My goal is to keep in touch with my teachers from my previous years. I want to keep in touch with them because I want them to remember me as one of their old students. This will be important in the long-run when I fill in my application for college; I will hopefully have the teachers to vouch for my creditbility, because they remember would me and what I was like in school. I also want to socialize with my teachers because they are friendly and unforgettable. -

SMART goal
My goal is to keep in touch with my teachers from my previous years. I want to keep in touch with them because I want them to remember me as one of their old students. This will be important in the long-run when I fill in my application for college; I will hopefully have the teachers to vouch for my creditbility, because they remember would me and what I was like in school. I also want to socialize with my teachers because they are friendly and unforgettable. -
Specific: Who?
There are several teachers I want to keep in touch to. I want to meet up with my previous English teachers and my AP World History teacher again because we share common interests in books, movies, and culture. I at least want to be in good, continuing terms with at least three teachers. -
Measurable: When and frequency
I want to keep in touch with my previous teachers throughout the year. I want to meet at least one teacher at least once a week. However, for the overall year, my goal is to keep in touch with at least three teachers. When the year ends and I have visited their classes with this frequency or beyond, I would feel like I have achieved this goal. -
Attainable: Starting step
I can meet my old teachers after school on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays during their office hours. I can spend time with them for one hour before going back home. However, I cannot not meet them on Mondays or Tuesdays because after school, I have club meetings and a tutor on those days.) -
Realistic: Opportunity cost
Taking an hour off my time to meet my teachers is my trade-off. The opportunity cost of that hour is education - an hour less to finish my homework and study for my current classes. The opportunity cost may not be a huge toll on me if I manage my time more wisely. Or, I can convert my spare time into more time to complete homework. The opportunity cost of this is freedom and the hobbies that I like to do during my freetime. -
Attainable: Second step
When I am at one of the teacher's classroom, I will use that one hour to socialize with my teacher. At the same time, I have to respect them if they do not wish to talk or if people coming in for office hours need to concentrate. In fact, I may also help my teacher and students coming in for office hour during my time there. -
TIme bound: Deadline
I want to maintain and renew this goal throughout the year and next year. However, I want to get comfortable with visiting my teachers' classrooms after school by October 20th
