IQuest Blog #2

This is my senior year of high school, I am going to set a lot of goals in my future and in this current school year before I graduate. I learned about SMART goals and what they mean. SMART goals are Specific Measureable Attainable Realistic and Time goals. Whenever a goal is created it should meet the SMART goals standards. I have lots of SMART goals set  Another one of my SMART goals is to find an internship in civil engineering for my iQuest class.
I also learned to make a One, Five, and Ten year goal for my future. It doesn’t have to be about iQuest itself but what I want to do for my future. My one year goal is to work towards and accomplish my eagle project and to become an eagle scout. My five year goal is to graduate from college and get a career in engineering that will hopefully set my future. My ten year goal is to have a higher up job in my career in engineering and to have started a family. All three of my goals are SMART goals, and I can’t hesitate for a moment if I want to accomplish all of these goals. I can’t start to relax and not try in school I need to get the best grades I can. I need to save money and spend it wisely so I can have afford college and things for my future. Overall I have some pretty set goals for my future and I need to strive to accomplish them using SMART goals.

IQuest First Blog Post

My name is Justin Dearborn and my goal is to become an engineer. I am a senior at California High School and planning on graduating in the summer of 2012. My goals for this year are to finish my eagle project to become an eagle scout and to enter an engineering type internship. Another thing that will be going on in my life at that time is trying to get straight A's and applying to many different colleges.
