2. My Goals:Identify three (3) professional and/or academic long-term goals for your future.
3. How I Will Get There:Based on the professional or academic goals you created, identify at least two (2) short-term steps for each of these goals, and set target dates for each of these short-term steps. Make sure that in your plan to achieve these goals, you account for obstacles that may present themselves along the way.
