1_(COURTNEY CARR) SMART long term goals for education 2015/16.

Annotations:

• Specific: I am wanting to complete this year to the best of my ability and be able to enjoy my graduation knowing that I put a 100% in the course. I am also wanting to stay at Newcastle college for my top-up year, but would like to change over to finance from leadership as I have found a interest for finance. As the change over is for my final year I am wanting to do AAT course alongside the degree as I feel this will help me to progress and have higher understanding of the finance sector, giving me more opions for the future.
