Its the night before Halloween and the night prior to the end of the month. For me that means, "Did I meet my goals for this month? If so, why? If not, why didn't I meet my goals." I have to do this along with a progress report at the end of each month to insure that I stay on track with my goals and make the proper commitments to achieve the picture I am shooting for.
A lot of things fall under this list of things I should have done this month besides what I am doing on the site. My life leads into many tangents and it often involves prioritizing, making the tough decisions that will insure us a better tomorrow. All these things may not affect me today, but will affect me as time goes on. It might be a paper today, but tomorrow it will be a project, an essay, a decision that will determine what you one day are capable of doing in life. If I make a commitment, I need to follow through with it. I need to prove that there's a reason why I took on such a responsibility.
Things I've done and the goals I need to meet:
374+ Members on the site, should have 400+ members on the site by 11/1/108~I blame Livemocha seeing as I can't get into my account and attract new members . . . however I will find a solution soon and meet this goal as best I can.
A blog each and every day~Done pretty well even though I came down to the last few seconds in the last couple of entries. Still a great reflection of my state of mind throughout this experience.
Building the community on the website through pictures, videos, groups, etc~I've done well and am comfortable with putting myself out on the website to all the people not forgetting the reason I do the things I do
Maintain good grades in school~I'm doing well in school, but I can definitely do better. I need to learn better time management. One that doesn't involve going to sleep as soon as I get home from school and then going to bed late. Creating a cycle in which I feel inhibits my full potential.
Work with Education Connection~This one can go either way as I have been negligent with my responsibilities, helping build the Alice course, but am currently helping them out with the release of the Scratch After School Program.
Learning Chinese~I can't remember the last time I complete a lesson on Livemocha which goes to show why I can't speak or read Chinese yet. I want to speak Chinese because it would be a great thing to put on a resume and a great thing to have when working with a community like this. I could help both English and chinese members interact.
Following through on all of the above~All these ideas are fueled by different things. I need to cover all field if I want these things to become a reality and give off the best results. I have to make sure I'm also going in the right direction. That I'm doing the things that will help insure me the results I want.
I need direction that will help me make sure that I accomplish the things I set my mind to. It's hard staying on top on all these things and not getting distracted along the way. The epiphanies are great, but the work is where it really matters. Hopefully I can meet the bar and not fail where I have worked so hard.
Sincerely, Hector Guzman
