This assignment is about understanding your motivations for coming to the university and what drives you to accomplish milestones in your life.  Your goals and motivations are driven by your underlying values—the reasons you desire to achieve certain things. Values inform our thoughts, words, and actions, and they help us to grow, develop, and envision and create the future we want to experience.Â
Â
Assignment Part 1: The first step in better understanding your values is by writing three to five goals for yourself in the table below. These could be personal or professional goals, and they could be short-term or long-term goals.Â
Â
|
Your Goals |
|
Goal 1:  Example:  Finish my undergraduate degree so that I can compete for a promotion in my job  |
|
Goal 2: Â |
|
Goal 3: |
|
Goal 4: Â |
|
Goal 5: Â |
Â
Assignment Part 2: Once you’ve established your goals, think about what is motivating you to achieve those specific goals. Is it to get to a certain level in your career? Is it to achieve something you’ve always wanted to for personal reasons? Is it to set a good example for your family or friends?
The second piece of this assignment is to establish two or three motivations for each goal you’ve identified and write these in the table below. Copy your goals into the area below from part 1 of the assignment.

Â
Your motivation for doing anything generally stems from your values. Motivating forces could be values instilled in you from a young age, or values you hold because of what you’ve learned or been exposed to. Your core values are those that drive your behaviors, actions, and words. They are the reasons we dedicate our time and energy to most things in our lives. They are our guiding principles.
Â
Assignment Part 3: Now that you’ve established goals and acknowledged your motivations, consider what motivates you, and write the underlying reason for each goal. These are your values. There could be one or several values for each goal that you have, and the values might be the same or similar for different goals. In the table below, copy your goals from part 1 of the assignment and enter your values.
Â
There are no wrong answers for this exercise. The purpose is to establish your values and to recognize what drives you to accomplish milestones in your life.Â
