Classwork:
Prepare a wish list of 10 things that you would like to have or do. Make sure that they follow the SMART principle. (Simple, Measureable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely)
Rank your wishes in order of priority and set a target date for the achievement of each.
Go through the list and cross out the ones that you think are impossible to attain and state why.
Set the goals on a timeline, starting from now until 50 years in the future.
