Entry 15

1. Pass College Algebra
2.
I would move steadily toward this goal everyday if I reviewed assignments I have completed.
I would move steadily toward this goal everyday if I spent an hour practicing math problems.
I would move steadily toward this goal everyday if I worked on assignments that are due.

3. Because I know that this commitment will keep me on course to my goals, I promise myself that every day for the next 32 days I will take the following action: work on math assignments that are due.

B. If I were a teacher, I would write back to the anonymous student that missed day four: It's okay that you missed a day and don't judge yourself for it. Keeping a commitment is hard but it is for yourself. Learn from that broken promise and continue to work hard at it. You can start over on Day 1, and do even better than you did last time. Giving up after making a mistake doesn't do anything for yourself. I would say to the other student: Even though it is just a homework assignment, it has the power to greatly benefit you. You have the choice to keep up with it or not, but in the end you may find yourself with more success.
