Guidelines in setting SMART goals:

• Be specific. Include the smallest details.
• Make your goals measurable. How do you know that you have reached your target?
• Think of what is attainable and be realistic. Aim high, dream big, but don’t frustrate yourself by reaching for
impossible targets.
• Make your goals time bound. Don’t give yourself a forever moving deadline. What can you achieve in a year? In 5
years? In 10 years?

After accomplishing the table above, answer the questions below for your reflection:
1. What do you need to do now to prepare yourself and achieve what you imagine as your career and vocation?

To achieve my envisioned career and vocation as an architect focused on sustainability and humanitarian design, I will begin w

2. Do the Benildean Expression (BenEx) of the Lasallian Core Values fit into your career and vocation plans? How? If
not, why not?
The benildean expression of being socially responsible and creative and innovative aligns with my career and
vocation plans as an architect. Being socially responsible entails actively addressing the needs of the community and
advocating for sustainable and humanitarian design, which forms the core of my architectural vision. Creativity and
Innovation are essential to crafting unique solutions that integrate sustainability into architectural projects. By
prioritizing these values, I aim to design structures that not only serve their intended purpose but also benefit
society and the environment.
