My Success Plan [Originality Check]
You have identified your “why,” you have set goals for yourself, and you have embarked on your academic journey at LAPU. To help you achieve your goals and stay on track, you will create a plan to motivate and inspire you throughout your journey. This plan is unique to you and will help you visualize and achieve your goals. In a vision board, video, narrated presentation, or letter to your future self, you will outline your plan and determine the strategies that you will use to achieve success.
Why it Matters to you:Congratulations on making significant strides in your academic journey here at LAPU. Identifying your “why” was the foundational step, giving you the clarity of purpose. But as the adage goes, a dream without a plan is just a wish. And that's where "My Success Plan" comes into play.
- Visualization: Creating a visual representation (like a vision board) or an auditory one (like a narrated presentation) helps manifest your goals. When you can see or hear what you're working towards, it becomes tangible, real, and attainable.

This assignment is like a promise to yourself. It's a tangible reminder of where you're headed, making you more accountable to your own aspirations.
- Organized Approach: This assignment aids in breaking down your bigger goals into actionable steps. When you outline strategies and map out your journey, it helps in taking systematic and planned steps towards achieving those goals, rather than moving forward haphazardly.
- Boosted Confidence: Witnessing your goals and strategies laid out is a confidence booster. It's a testament to the fact that you've thought things through, you have a strategy, and you’re equipped to tackle challenges.
- Flexibility and Reflection: Life is dynamic. Your plan acts as a reference point. As you progress, you can come back to this assignment, reflect on your journey, celebrate your successes, and tweak your strategies if required.
- Future Motivation: Imagine looking back at this assignment a year or two from now or even at the cusp of your graduation. It serves as a benchmark, showing you how far you’ve come and reminding you of the ambition and dedication you started with.
Your "My Success Plan" assignment is not just about the here and now. It's a blueprint for your future.
