Goal

What's in a word? Power! The power to express our hopes, our dreams, our goals, our strengths and our talents. The goal of this project is to help students identify a word to express their hopes, their dreams, their goals, their strengths and their talents. The word will then be inscribed on a bracelet to serve as a reminder and motivation to help students more in a positive direction to achieve their goals. 

What will be done with my students

Students will work with the School Counselor, to identify their dreams and goals, and their strengths and talents. They will then identify a meaningful word that will serve as a reminder and a motivator to help students utilize their strengths and talents to achieve their dreams and goals. Each student will inscribe their word onto a disk using the 'My Intent' engraving machine, they will then create a bracelet with that disk. Students will wear the bracelet that they have created as a reminder of their strengths, goals and dreams. As students wear their bracelets, it will also serve as a conversation starter, and they will have the opportunity to talk about their word and how it relates to the achievement of their goals.  

Benefits to my students

According to research by Dr. Gail Matthews, writing down a goal increases the chances of achieving that goal, talking about your goals makes success even more likely. As students identify a word, write that word down, through engraving and creating a bracelet, and wear the bracelet as a reminder to themselves and a catalyst for conversation with others, students will meet the criteria set forth in this research and make better choices, work harder and achieve more success in reaching their goals.  

Budget Narrative

The budget includes a discount of 35%. This project will be able to be continued in the future at a lesser cost, since this budget includes the purchase of the engraving machine.
