Journal #2 : Goal Setting

Write a letter to yourself ten years from now.  Include in the letter your long-term goals, the short-term and medium-term goals that will help you achieve those goals, and what values are driving you to attain your goals.  Remember to be specific, measurable, achievable, results-focused, and time-bound (eg., use "I will graduate from college in four years with a 3.0 GPA or higher" vs "I will finish college").
