Teacher-Mentors could consider guiding their students through the following goal setting process:

1. Decide what you want to accomplish. What is your passion or desire?

2. When do you want to accomplish it?

3. Determine that the goal is believable to you.

4. Where are you now?

5. What obstacles do you need to overcome?

6. What knowledge do you need to acquire?

7. What peers and/or groups should you associate with?

8. Develop an action plan including one step you can take today. Write this down, prioritizing all the action steps. Take action!

9. See yourself accomplishing the goal. Write a visualisation statement in the present tense of that picture. Play the picture over and over in your mind. Read your visualisation statement daily.

10. Decide never to quit until your goal is reached. Be persistent.
