Comment 20: ''Year of challenges''

Comment 20 

Challenges are part of our everyday life. Facing up challenges makes us stronger and more responsible as it gives us the experience we need in life.

Challenges come in different forms. For some, the challenge is to get good grades in school, for others, it is winning the battle against a health problem. No matter what the problem is, it’s important to remember that there is almost always a solution to it.

My personal challenges this year are pretty obvious. As I am studying the second year of Bachillerato, my wish is to get the highest grades ever. That will help me sign up for the medical university that I wish to study at to become a very good surgeon. Besides, as I am going to be 18 this summer, I have to be more responsible, face situations with more maturity and make good decisions for my future.

What I do know for sure, is that everybody’s challenge this year is getting over the coronavirus pandemic. We have been living a year forced to maintain social distance, wear a mask and comply with a lot of rules. Fortunately, the vaccine against this virus is here and hopefully we will overcome this challenge soon.

To conclude, life is full of challenges. Challenging ourselves makes us stronger and more responsible and facing challenges is a way to prove ourselves what we are capable of.

Comment 15- GOALS, GOALS!!!

Comment 15

Setting goals helps us to choose what we want in our life, where we want to be in the future and what steps we will take. What´s more, it helps us to move forward towards our future professional development.

Every year, we set targets for making progress and developing at school/work. In my situation, every end of the year, I set a few goals for the following year. For example, I always resolve to study hard myself and get the highest grades possible. This year, in particular, I must make a big effort to achieve my goals because my final grades will help me to choose the university I want to attend when I finish school.

Another personal goal that I set for this year is to practise more sports because I like being fit and athletic. Playing football is one of my favourites but this year I´ve decided to sign up in a gym to improve my strength and my physical apprearence.

All in all, I think setting personal goals is an important process for our future, as it motivates ourselves to bring our dreams to reality.
