by goal-setting I was able to come up with an idea of when I wanted to
accomplish what tasks so let's say a few months in I wanted to ensure that I had
already gotten the hang of a certain skill and that would be my goal for that
semester or for that month and then I would also check in with my supervisor
to see if she felt that I had reached that goal after I did get my placement I
went over those goals again with him and then halfway through the year I done
that again and at the end we kind of had a debrief just making sure we were on
track I felt that it helped direct my learning as well as my mentors and how
they taught us because it kind of honed in on what we want to learn and that way
every time I went in there like okay I know your goal is this than the other so
we're going to make sure that we build on that every single time I went in
