Introduction

Endurance means having physical and mental stamina to reach our goals. However, we all only have 24 hours in the day. Making a plan for how to achieve big goals, like attending college, and breaking it down into smaller goals, like studying for 30 minutes a day, can help us maintain our stamina and make progress. How will planning help you achieve your goal when it’s difficult?

Critical Thinking

Consider the following situation on your own: You have a big assignment due. You decide to ditch a few classes so you can get caught up, but you end up missing a test.

What do you do? Try to think of a few different things you could do (positive, negative, and neutral). What might the results of your actions be?

Collaboration

For a small group, each student presents their ideas to the whole class. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.

For a larger group, divide students into small groups and have students present their ideas to the small group. Provide opportunity for positive feedback from peers or support if they are struggling to think of ideas.
