Getting Started & Goal
Setting
Goal setting specifically
relates to a career
planning. The career
process involves setting
goals, these goals are both
long term and short term,
and they are used to
develop a career planning.
It will describe the steps
you need to reach and
achieve a certain goal.
Long term goals can take
you approximately three-
five years to achieve while
short terms goals are
reachable in a short period
of time. We set our goals
regularly everyday, we
plan what we want to
accomplish, mostly simple
goals, and then you get
into more complicated
goals which plan you for
the future. Achieving goals
isn't that easy, but the
actions you take to achieve
them will make a huge
impact.
I had chosen a
parent/guardian from my
family which was my
mom.
I had interviewed her to
find out about her life
experiences as an early
adolescent. I discussed the
goals she accomplished as
a teenager, a missed
opportunity, and advice on
teen life. My mom had an
intelligent education
opportunity that she had
missed, university.
Mom was once a teen!
My parent/mother
achieved honors in both
elementary and in high
school. She was one of the
highest ranked students in
her high school. She had a
positive/optimistic attitude
towards life. She would
always hope for the best,
but be prepared for the
worst. She was always
grateful for what she
already had, but she would
always strive for
excellence. She was never
an obsessively
perfectionist.
She had a skill to set
realistic life goals and
visualize and imagine a
successful pathway for her
future career. When it
comes to her future career,
she would always choose
an academic course. She
would establish reliable
short term goals, and make
an effort to accomplish
them. She would always
beware of her electronics
and extracurricular
activities; she would never
“The ability to convert ideas
to things is the secret to
outward success.”
Henry Ward Beecher
let it interfere with her
academic performance.
She would try to avoid
“non-serious” students,
and those with bad habits.
(Drugs, violence, etc)
The missed opportunity
and parent’s advice
My parent/mother missed
an important opportunity
in life, going and
accomplishing university.
She passed the university
exam but did not qualify.
She did not get a second
chance because she had to
get married, in Sri-Lanka
many women had to get
married at a very young
age. My mom felt as if she
was a drift in the world,
she worked hard but it
didn’t seem to get
anywhere worthwhile.
(University) A key reason
is that she felt that she
hadn’t spent enough time
thinking about what she
wanted in life. Goal setting
was a powerful process for
thinking about her ideal
future. She had to set
clearly defined goals; she
did not take pride in the
achievement of her goals.
She should have raised her
confidence and recognized
her ability in achieving the
goals she had set. She
should have known
precisely what she wanted
to achieve. Once she had
decided on her goal, she
kept up the process of
reviewing and updating her
to do list on a daily basis.
She had set her priorities,
when she had several
goals, this helps her from
feeling overwhelmed, and
helps direct her attention to
the important things.
Failure is a part of life;
slips are a part of life, the
learning process. It makes
a few tries to meet a goal.
Everyone has failures in
life don’t beat yourself for
it, remind yourself to get
back on track.
My Smart Goal
Ashvathe wants to get a
sufficient amount of sleep
on school days. (Monday –
Friday) She also wants to
get approximately eight
hours of sleep. (10:00PM-
7:00AM) She has two
months to get a usual
routine to follow her goal
of eight hours of sleep. She
wants to get a minimum of
eight hours of sleep in two
months. Keep a chart,
record in your results such
as what time you went to
sleep then another column
for what time you
awakened and a last
“Keep away from people who
try to belittle your ambitions.
Small people always do that,
but the really great make you
feel that you, too, can become
great.”

Success is not final,
failure is not fatal: it is
the courage to continue
that counts.

column for the total hours
of sleep. To find out
whether she is in the
process of achieving her
goal. Get a minimum of
eight hours of sleep.
Scientific research proves
teenagers should get a
minimum of eight to nine
hours of sleep everyday
because they are in the
time of physical,
intellectual and emotional
growth and development.
Try to get eight hours of
sleep on school days.
(Monday-Friday) then on
weekend you can go to
sleep late, and wake up
late.(no school on Saturday
and Sunday) You will be
able to do that by using
your time productively
after school for homework
and not waste time on
social networking until
your priorities are
complete. Check your
chart halfway (1 month)
throughout the process;
make changes if necessary
to meet/achieve your goal.
Enabling Goals
Decrease the amount of
time/usage of social
networking.
Complete your homework
right when you get home
so that you don’t result in
sleeping late and
interfering with your goal.
Manage your time with
care if you have an
assignment or project do a
week later, don’t
PROCASTINATE,
try to be organized and
start early. Have a relaxed
bedtime routine; try to go
to bed at the same time
every day. Make sure you
are not overscheduled.
Obstacles
You have feeling of
sadness, worried about
things that make it hard to
focus on the priorities. You
have too much homework
and you are not using your
time productively by social
networking. When you are
overscheduled, following
your true passion through
sports and extracurricular
activities, it could be time
consuming. Electronics are
very addictive, even adults
struggle with this issue.
Strategies
Move more, regular
exercise promotes healthy
sleeping. Avoid exercising
in the evening or else your
bones and muscles will be
sore. Unplug or turn off all
your electronics at least a
half an hours before bed.
The light from the screen
interferes with the
production of melatonin.
You can sleep in on the
weekend, but no more than
2 or 3 hours later than their

usual time, or it will
disrupt your normal
bedtime routine.
Reflect
My moms and I have very
similar goal setting
abilities when she was a
teen/adolescence. We both
strive for the best in life, if
a failure occurs we give a
great effort to overcome
them. We both need to
boost our confidence when
it comes to achievement,
focus on the good than the
bad.
Teen Talk about
successful communication
Effective communication
exists between two people,
the receiver understands
the sender’s message in a
way, and it is intended.
Communication is the
process of sharing
information, thoughts, and
feelings between people
through speaking, body
languages and through
many other methods. The
goals of effective
communication includes:
creating common
judgement, changing
behaviours and enhancing
relationships.
Communication helps us as
people understand a person
or situation better, resolve
differences, and build trust
and respect. It also creates
environments where ideas
and problem solving can
either flourish or be
resolved. In effective
communication there is an
important element, you
have to understand the
emotion behind the
information.
Teen Comic Scenario
Anne and her girlfriend
are out for a girls’ night at
the mall. As Riya reaches
out to pick out a bracelet
that she likes, it is seen that
she has several bruises on
her arm under her
shirtsleeve. When Anne
asks Riya about this, she
says that she bumped into
something; Anne isn't
convinced. The bruises
look like finger prints from
her arm being squeezed
really hard. Anne keeps
bothering Riya about what
she sees, until she finally
confesses. Riya tells Anne
that her boyfriend got
angry the other day and
shook her a little. She
assures Anne that it’s the
first time anything like this
ever happened.
We teens want to be
heard!
Listening is the key to all
effective communication,
because without the ability
to listen effectively,
messages are easily
misunderstood. The
communication breaks
down and the sender of the
message can easily become
frustrated or irritated.
Good listening skills also
have benefits in personal
lives, such as improved
self-esteem and
confidence. When
Secrets behind the truth of Effective communication
"The most important thing in
communication is hearing what
isn't said." – Selena Gomez
"Speak when you are angry -and
you'll make the best speech you'll
ever regret." – Lilly Singh
(Superwoman)
"We have two ears and one mouth
so that we can listen twice as much
as we speak." – Zaid Ali
receiving messages,
listening is an important
element and it can be done
both actively and
passively.
Active listening uses
verbal responses to show
acceptance, understanding,
respect and many other
things as well. The
techniques used for active
listening can be
encouraging a person to
express their feelings,
encourage more
information and comment
directly on what is being
said.
It's also the best way to
avoid misunderstandings.
When you repeat back a
summary of what you have
heard, the speaker then has
the chance to correct
anything that you didn't
understand. There are
many benefits to active
listening such as trust,
productivity, accuracy, and
respect and conflict
resolution.
Techniques to passive
listening could be making
eye contact, nodding, and
facial expressions. A
passive listener does not
give any feedback or
appear to be listening at
all. They will often miss
out on verbal and non-
verbal communication cues
that the speaker gives
during the conversation.
In my comic, Anne is an
active listener. When Anna
and Riya go out for dinner,
Riya tells her about the
situation she was in (Jake
abused Anne in an
argument). During the
communication between
them both, Anne
encourages Riya to express
her personal feelings and
thoughts about the
situation. Anne restates
and summarizes everything
to Riya as she says to make
sure she has the correct
information. She shows
acceptance and
understanding. She then
gains respect and trust
which enhances their
relationship. While Riya
was expressing her
feelings, Anne encouraged
her to tell her more
information, which was her
attempt in giving her
advice.
Ever want to understand
someone’s thoughts and
feelings?
Empathy brings meaning
and purpose to life; it
forms relationships and
improves social
interaction. When showing
empathy, you are able to
better understand the
"The most important things are
the hardest to say, because
words diminish them." - Drake
Passive listening shows that you
are interested without needing to
speak. It is generally the idea of
using non-verbal responses to
show understanding.
"You cannot truly listen to
anyone and do anything else at
the same time." - Anonymous
In this picture, Anne is giving Riya advice
about the issue she is occurred in.
"That which we are capable of
feeling, we are capable of saying." –
Demi Lavoto
feelings and thoughts of
others.
Self empathy is the feeling
of compassion for your
own pain and suffering.
When showing empathy,
you should provide your
undivided attention and
attempt to be non-
judgemental. You should
always observe the
emotions behind the words
that are spoken and assure
you understand the issue or
problem. Empathy shows
bonding between people
and self awareness.
Empathy is a sense that
one can truly understand or
imagine the depth of
another person’s feelings.
Anne is able to understand
the feelings and thoughts
of Riya. As Riya tells Anne
about the violent behaviour
of Jake towards her, Anne
starts to provide Riya with
her undivided attention.
Riya tried her best not to
be judgemental; she
observed the emotions
behind the words. When
Anne starts to show
empathy for Riya, the bond
between them is enhanced,
and they begin to
cooperate more in the
future.

where you need help use:
Positive Strategies?
Effective communication
takes place only when the
receiver and the sender are
ready to focus on each
other’s message. There are
three main types of
strategies, timing, humour,
and honesty. Timing is
when you select a right
time to convey or reveal a
message.
When revealing a message
at the right time or a
certain time, it may make a
difference on how it's
received. When using
empathy, it will help
determine how well the
receiver is prepared to
listen.
Honesty is the complete
trust and honesty between
two people, and thus
communication is greatly
enhanced.
Anyone who has experienced a
certain amount of loss in their life
has empathy for those who have
experienced loss. -Anonymous
The receiver must have
information on how the
person is feeling. They
both must also make sure
they have the important
information. Using a sense
of humor while
communicating can make
the conversation
lighthearted, funny, and
pleasant.
But, there are times where
you should not use humor.
Frequent jokes may be
inappropriate in some
circumstances.
Riya and Anne continue
with their girls night out
and go out for dinner to
discuss about the situation.
They then select a right
time to convey the message
to Jake.
Riya wants to and decides
to tell Jake her honest
opinion regarding his
behaviour lately. Anne also
starts to be honest with her
opinions and advice. They
both decide together that
Riya must go to Jake and
talk to him about his
abusive act the other day.
Are you hitting on a
speed bump?
Roadblocks
The person receiving the
message may feel attacked
and may feel the need to
defend themselves.
Communication
roadblocks stand in the
way of good
communications. You must
learn to recognize the
blockers which can provide
a pathway towards making
your thoughts and feelings
clear.
Ridiculing is also known
as name calling and
shaming. It may hurt
another person; it may also
make them send a similar
hurtful message back.
Criticizing is known as
judging and blaming, it
makes the receiver feel the
need to defend them.
Threatening is similar to a
threat of power or a
warning. The receiver may
feel angry and rebellious.
Preaching is another word
for ordering. The receiver
feels guilty or not good
enough. Analyzing is
known as diagnosing and
interpreting. The sender’s
opinion is stated as a fact.
Interrogating is
questioning another
person. If the receiver feels
the sender is asking
questions that they
shouldn’t be asking, the
receiver would feel cross
examined and would have
the need to defend
themselves. E.g.; what,
where, when, why, and
how. Advising is giving
solutions or suggestions. It
is usually intended advice
to someone who doesn't
want any. One-upping is
the same as competing
with one and another and it
implies that the sender
feels superior.
Globalization is
generalizing a fact. Sender
makes one or a few
situations into many
I want to discuss the issue that
occurred earlier this week. We both
need to be completely honest with
each other about our opinions.
-Riya (Character from Comic)
situations. Lecturing sends
the message that the sender
feels superior towards the
receiver which results in
the receiver feeling
defensive at some times.
Dismissing is when the
sender or receiver changes
the subject; it is a way of
ignoring or interrupting
which may cause the
sender to feel rejected.
When Anne tells Riya to go
talk to her boyfriend, Jake,
she is scared that her
boyfriend might be violent
with her again. Anne starts
to question and interrogate
her relationship. Riya
begins to think that Anne is
cross examining her and
that Anne is asking her
questions she shouldn’t be.
Anne starts to advise Riya
about Jake, and she tells
her that her boyfriend
should not be physically
abusing her.
Teen Barriers and filters
Bias is a way of looking at
things from narrow
prospective. Often based
on an opinion and not a
fact.
Prejudice is a type of bias
against an individual or a
group who share certain
characteristics.
When the characteristics of
some group members is
generalized to all group
members, then
stereotyping takes place.
Ethnocentrism is a type of
bias where individuals
view people from cultures
other than their own as
having less importance or
less value.
Spread the word: “I:
message
I messages are important
because they provide a
pathway towards positive
communication under
difficult circumstances
such as roadblocks.
Ideal situations to use I
messages are when you are
being interrupted, or have a
feeling of stress. I
messages are used to
prevent a potential stressful
interaction.
I messages are effective
because it focuses on the
issue or the topic of
concern. Sharing and
expressing feelings can
lead to more trust in
relationships. There is an
increase in better quality
interactions after an I
message is expressed.
Advantages of using I
messages is that it helps
ease tension and conflict,
and it reduces the
defensiveness towards
people. It also prepares
listeners for feedback and
requires honest
communication.
"You cannot truly listen to
anyone and do anything else
at the same time." – Justin
Bieber
Top secret code
Constructing an ‘I’
message
Using” I” messages might
not come naturally to most
people. You must practise
and you will begin to like
this certain communication
approach. Be assertive and
honest in sharing your
thoughts.
4 basic elements to an “I”
message:
Riya goes to Jake and talks
to him about his violent
behaviour towards her.
Riya tells Jake about how
she really feels and about
the situation that occurred
earlier. She tells him that
she feels angry and hurt
when he yells and abuses
her. It affects how she feels
and it affects the trust
between the relationships
they have. She explains to
him that she wants to feel
comfortable and wants to
feel protected when she
spends time with him.
When she used an I
message, it helped ease the
tension and conflict
between both of them. This
also reduces the
defensiveness of Jake. Jake
then understands what he
had done was wrong. He
apologizes and says that he
will never abuse her again.
Effective communication
skills will help teens in the
future by passing the
obstacles that occur in life,
like teen issues such as
alcohol, relationships,
friendship and etc.
Effective communication
helps us teens better
understand a person or
situation, enables us to
resolve differences, and
build trust. As simple as
communication seems,
much of what we try to
communicate and others
try to communicate to us
gets misunderstood, which
causes conflict and
frustration in teens and
personal relationships. By
learning these effective
communication skills,
teens will be better able to
connect with friends,
family and etc in the
future.

It’s a miracle your actually dishwashing for once but NEVER place a knife into a sink with soapy water.
Us teens have dirty filthy hands
throughout the day, so we must wash
our hands in warm soapy water for 15-
30 seconds before working in the lab.
http://www.google.ca/images
Who's going to clean up after you?
Certainly not your mother, so get up and
scrape the dishes into the garbage
disposal.
Your old enough to follow guidelines, stacking
dishes is an easy job for you, just remember….
•Glassware
•Cutlery
•Dinnerware
•Preparation dishes
•Pots and pans
Do you know your left and right
hand, well you should because
you’re a teen, always remember to
put in hot, soapy water in the first
sink for washing .(1squirt of soap)
Have you ever heard of vice versa,
well its reverse in order or a
preceding a statement the other
way around, also put hot, clear
water in the second sink for
rinsing.
We teens like to rush through chores
because it increases the time spent
socializing with friends, but washing
the dishes requires a lot of patience,
always keep this order in mind
wash, rinse, stack, and dry. The
person washing the dishes also
rinses the dishes. Always remember
to wash one article at a time. Dishes don’t belong scattered all
over the countertop like your
bedroom mess, always put them in
their appropriate locations.
For a little extra “cha ching” wipe counters
and areas around sinks, sparkling clean.
Is it your turn to do the dishes ?

having left undone”
― Pablo Picasso
You can sleep in on the
weekend, but no more than
2 or 3 hours later than their
usual time, or it will
disrupt your normal
bedtime routine.
Reflect
My moms and I have very
similar goal setting
abilities when she was a
teen/adolescence. We both
strive for the best in life, if
a failure occurs we give a
great effort to overcome
them. We both need to
boost our confidence when
it comes to achievement,
focus on the good than the
bad. this smart goal goes
into the physical
developmental task. It is
important to get at least
eight hours of sleep
because teens usually grow
rapidly during their sleep,
growth hormones are
produced. an average teen
is physically active, which
will result in m ore sleep.
The right amount of sleep
is essential for everyone
who want to do well or
succeed in life.
