Describe a Goal that You Achieved which was Set by Yourself Cue Card

Why you set it?

I set this goal sinceI wanted to be able to communicate with Spanish-speaking individuals more effectively.

Explain what you did to achieve the goal?

To achieve this goal, I first began by familiarizing myself with the basics of the language, such as grammar and vocabulary. I used online resources, such as Duolingo and Babbel, to practice my skills and to test my understanding of the language. Additionally, I also began watching Spanish-language films and television shows in order to improve my listening and comprehension skills.

After a few months of self-study, I realized that I needed more structured and interactive learning in order to progress more quickly. So I decided to take a Spanish course at a local college. The course was once a week, lasted for 2 hours, was taught by a native speaker and was focused on conversation. This helped me to improve my pronunciation, grammar, and fluency in a more interactive and social setting.

Furthermore, I started to interact with native speakers as much as I could. I joined a Spanish-language conversation group, and I also made friends with some Spanish-speaking individuals who were willing to practice the language with me.

I am proud to say that now, after two years of consistent effort, I am able to hold basic conversations in Spanish and I can read and understand written Spanish with ease. Additionally, my Spanish vocabulary and grammar skills have improved greatly.

This experience taught me the importance of setting specific and measurable goals, being consistent and persistent in working towards achieving them, and seeking out the appropriate resources and support when necessary.

Why you set it?

I wanted to be able to apply this powerful technique to various projects and tasks. I knew that deep learning was a rapidly growing field, and I wanted to be able to stay current with the latest developments.

Explain what you did to achieve the goal?

To achieve this goal, I first did a lot of research and reading on the subject. I read a lot of papers and articles on deep learning, and I also took several online courses on the topic. Additionally, I practiced implementing various deep learning models using popular frameworks such as TensorFlow and PyTorch.

I also set up a deep learning project, which involved training a convolutional neural network to classify images of cats and dogs. I collected a dataset of images, preprocessed and augmented the data, built and trained the model and finally evaluated its performance. This was a great learning experience, as it allowed me to see firsthand how deep learning can be applied to real-world problems.

Finally, I also participated in a deep learning hackathon and a Kaggle competition where I worked on image and text classification tasks. This helped me to gain more experience and to improve my understanding of deep learning by working on real-world datasets and tasks.

Overall, it was a lot of hard work, but I am proud to say that I have achieved my goal of improving my understanding of deep learning. I am now able to apply this knowledge to various projects and tasks, and I feel confident that I can continue to stay current with the latest developments in the field.

Why you set it?

I wanted to expand my skill set and increase my value as a developer. The programming language I chose to learn was Python. I chose this language because it is widely used in industry and has a wide range of applications such as data analysis, machine learning and web development.

Explain what you did to achieve the goal?

To achieve this goal, I set a daily study schedule for myself. I allocated 30 minutes every morning to studying Python concepts, such as data types, control structures, and functions. I also set aside time on the weekends to work on projects that would put my newfound skills to the test.

I also utilized various online resources to supplement my learning, such as tutorials on websites like Codecademy and Coursera, and programming exercises on platforms like HackerRank. I found that working on practical projects was the most effective way to solidify my understanding of the concepts.

Finally, after six months of dedicated study, I felt confident enough in my Python skills to apply for a job as a Python developer and I got the job!

Overall, setting and achieving this goal helped me become more well-rounded as a developer and open up new career opportunities for me. It also helped me to improve my discipline and time management skills, which I can apply to other areas of my life as well.
