Question

What are examples of short-term goals? Check all that apply.

Maddox studies hard because he wants to get an "A" on his chemistry quiz.
Clara wants to take a year-long Spanish class.
Aden wants to get a summer job during his school vacation.
Zion wants to complete a five-year medical apprenticeship.
Alejandra plans to work hard, and eventually get her dream job.
Macy wants to be a manager at a company within ten years.

Answer 1

Short-term goals: Maddox, Clara, Aden.

- Maddox (get an A on a quiz) — immediate/near-term (days–weeks).
- Clara (take a year-long Spanish class) — within about a year, so short-term.
- Aden (get a summer job during vacation) — short-term (over the summer).

Not short-term: Zion (five-year apprenticeship), Alejandra (vague “eventually” dream job), Macy (be a manager in ten years) — these are medium- to long-term goals.
