Rewrite the following goal to make it S.M.A.R.T

I want to do well in school this year.

-I want to get As and Bs in all my subjects during my 10 month school year and be on the Role of Distinction. I will spend 2 hours everyday after school from 3-5 completing my homework and studying. I will be able to achieve this....

I need a little help completing the achievable part of my goal.

Thank you very much.

What do you usually do -- or want to do -- from 3 to 5? Many students watch TV or check their FaceBook pages or play computer games when they get home from school. If this applies to you, you could put a sign on the TV or monitor reminding you to do your homework. What will you do if your Mom wants you to do chores or go shopping? What will you do if a friend wants you to hang out? How will you handle any disruption of your scheduled goal of studying from 3 to 5?
Even with Ms. Sue's point, you still have to look at how this fits into how to look at and measure SMART goals. Here's a good web site to introduce the idea:

If you have any questions while reading that, post them on here. If not, try to put the goals into a SMART format. How is that:
--Specific
--Measurable
--Attainable
--Realistic
--Timely
