(I have been playing regular pool and I have been on a good run winning a lot more games than losing currently which is good form) 3.

Weaknesses	Action	Review Dates	Progress Diary
1. I am not good at using my initiative.	I intend to improve and listen more in class, concentrate more and most importantly complete my work to a higher standard as I really want to pass this course and get an overall high grade. Action Points: 1. I plan on try dealing with problems without depending on others. (I have taken a bit of initiative and dealt with minor problems) 2. I plan on completing more tasks on time by myself and to a better standard (I haven’t did too well in this part as I have been late with a few tasks and should have taken more notice) 3. I plan to organize myself a bit more so class work is easier for me. (I can say I’m really organized and I am making good progress)	Long Term May 2013 6 Months – 1 Year	I have got better at using my initiative as I have got work done without asking the teacher what to do in some tasks this year. I also have done different things in my part time job without asking. Updated 14th March 2013 I have got my assignments all near done I just have a few small parts to correct. I am on my way to passing the first year of my course Updated 21st May 2013 I have completed my goal updated on 3rd june 2013
2.      I am not good at concentrating for long, I lose concentration too easily.	I intend to improve and concentrate more in class and pay more attention to the teacher. Action Points: 1. I plan on concentrating more in class and listening to the teacher more. (I have tried concentrating a bit more but sometimes lose the teacher which isn’t good I need to start listening more if I want to achieve a high grade!) 2. I plan on keeping my concentration and not getting distracted easily. (I have not really been distracted this year and feel a bit more confident and motivated in my work but as I said I need to concentrate more) 3. I plan on not talking to my friends and listening to the teacher more. (this is a bit of both as I have not been talking to friends as much but haven’t been listening to the teacher as much as I should be)	Short Term January 2013 1 Month – 3 Months	This year I have completed tasks on time and did them to the best of my ability so I would say I have concentrated well. Updated 12th February 2013 I have got all my tasks done on time and i have concentrated well in class. Updated 23rd May 2013 I have completed my goal updated on 3rd june 2013
3.      I am a negative person and always say I can’t do things.	I intend to improve and think more positive and am able to say I can do more things that I used to say I couldn’t do. Action Points: 1. I plan on being more positive in the classroom by thinking more positively. (I have been a bit more positive towards my work as I have been doing good so far) 2. I plan on getting distracted by problems outside the classroom (A lot of people have problems outside the classroom which they sometimes bring into the classroom and get frustrated because of it) 3. I plan on getting a good grade on this course by being more positive. (I hope to pass this course because it is a test for me as I never knew I would get to this level of education)	Short Term January 2013 1 Month – 3 Months	I have changed this because I have recently passed my theory test.
