 Internship objectives

Establecer objetivos: es útil establecer metas en distintas

áreas (académica, física, emocional, relaciones).

Los objetivos deben ser específicos, lo que incluye tener un

OUTCOME y no sólo un INPUT.

• INPUT (lo que quieras):

“Quiero mejorar mi español”

• OUTCOME (cómo medirás esta meta):

“Obtendré una A en mi clase de español”
