Determine Obstacles

The third task is to determine what obstacles may be in your way. Basically, you must ask yourself how you will go about accomplishing your semester goals given your skills, resources, and abilities. Then, examine each obstacle and try to envision it as a successful milestone or marker for that goal. You might also want to do the same thing for your long-term goals.
