Planning My Route

Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.
David J. Schwartz

The first step towards getting the things you want is to decide what it is you want and visualize yourself having it. Set goals, and then imagine yourself achieving them. Think of the joy you will feel when you reach your goal, and you will feel even more driven to success.

A. Think about 3 goals you have for this school year. (For Example: Do you want to make all A’s? Do you want to get the starring role in choir or in a play? Do you want to play first string in your sport? Do you want to make a new friend or find a significant other?) List 3 goals you would like to accomplish by the end of the school year.

B. Then think about 3 goals you have for your life. (For Example: Would you like to have a certain career? Would you like to get married and have children? When? Would you like to own your own business? Would you like to go to college? Get your Masters degree? Get your PhD?!)  List 3 goals you hope to accomplish in this lifetime.

Please use complete sentences and correct punctuation and spelling.

Spelling

If you aren't sure how to spell a word, an easy option is to go to Google and try to type it in as best you can in the Search Box.  It will auto-fill the words in a drop-down list, so you can usually find the word you were looking for that way.  If you don't see your word in the list, type it in as well as you can, and hit Google Search.  A message will appear that asks, "Did you mean _____?"  If that does not give you the word you are looking for, then you may ask Ms. Davis.

Accurate

Free from error or defect; consistent with a standard, rule, or model; precise; exact.

BIM 1 - Exams

In Ms. Davis's BIM1 class, we will not have any traditional exams.  By 'traditional', I mean the kind of exams you are used to, such as multiple choice tests or fill-in-the-blank tests.  We will have assignments mean to test your knowledge over the program we are studying, and I will grade you based on your mastery of the program's tools.
