PORTFOLIO TASK #13 (Reflection Paper)- Setting One's Goal

Name: Joselito F. Gelario Section: Polaris 1-A Date: Dec. 18, 2022

“Don’t just dream, make it happen”

Dreams can come true, but how committed we are to making them a reality will
determine whether they do or not. Our system is motivated by these dreams to succeed and
persist in anything we decide to undertake. But even if we have a dream, we also need goals to
work toward because a dream without them is just that—a dream.
As a student with aspirations of becoming a renowned mariner. To achieve that desire, I
make a list of my objectives. My own experience includes a period when I was chosen as a
shipping company's recommendation. I tried my hardest to succeed and I failed. But I don't let it
get me down; I always tell myself to accept failures but have bravery and keep trying. Remain
motivated and keep in mind how much you want to achieve your goal. Another opportunity came
my way in the form of a recommendation for another shipping company. I studied hard at the
time and aced the test. It demonstrates that anything is achievable with diligence and
perseverance. Even I achieve one of my goals to achieve my dream, I did not stop to work hard
to achieve my next goal.
It will be difficult to work toward your dream but embrace the challenge as part of the
journey. Remember that dreams and fantasies are not the same thing. The fuel for our daily life
comes from our dreams, not from the fantasy that looks wonderful on movie screens and is great
for a brief burst of creative joy. Be the hero of your own story, try to follow your dreams
audaciously, be aware of your convictions, be aware of your capabilities, and accept the
challenge to succeed. Dream of something that is beyond your reach but also plausible and real.
You must be able to believe in your aspirations and that you can realize them if you put in
enough effort.
