Goals, Habits, and Allies by Genevieve Finn

Goals:
I want to become a better writer over the course of the summer. I will do this by blogging weekly about my internship and trying to write something - a poem, an essay, a journal entry, something - every single day. I want to specifically improve my writing by learning how to write with conciseness and fluidity, instead of rambling and using complicated words.
I also want to learn more about environmental science over the summer. I will do this by actively participating in my internship and asking questions. This goal is measurable because I can explain what I learned to my little brother and see if he understands it or not.

Habits:
I want to continue working in a timely fashion by arriving at my internship promptly and getting all my work done on time. This is a great habit to build on because time management is key in real life jobs and workplaces.
I also want to be more organized and not lose all my stuff like I usually do. This skill is especially important in my internship now because I will be working with a team of people to report on issues and will need to pull my fair share of the weight.

Allies:
My allies are my parents and teachers, specifically my English teacher from last year Mrs. Kraus. I hope to gain more allies throughout the summer.
