FOCAL POINTS
As we prepare to say goodbye to 2024, the end of the year offers an opportunity for reflection and renewal. This month, consider reflecting on your personal growth, accomplishments, and the challenges you’ve faced throughout the year. Reflection helps foster self-awareness. It also provides a foundation for helping you to set meaningful goals for the future.
Did you accomplish the goals you set for yourself this year? For 2025, consider setting SMART goals. SMART goals are used across the world because they set helpful parameters that make challenges easier to overcome.
What is a SMART goal? SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound.
Specific:Â What needs to be accomplished and how?
Measurable:Â Can you assign a number or clear specific benchmarks for accomplishing the goal?
Achievable:Â Is the goal achievable? You’re probably not going to become a Jedi, at least not any time soon.
Relevant: Why are you setting this goal? How does it affect your life if you do or don’t accomplish it?
Time-Bound:Â What’s the finish line for the goal? Giving yourself a deadline helps provide urgency so that you don’t let your goal languish.
TODAY IN HISTORY
Mayflower arrives at Plymouth Harbor
On December 18, 1620, with the English ship Mayflower anchored in Plymouth Harbor, Massachusetts, a small party of sailors from the vessel go ashore, as its passengers prepare to begin their new settlement, Plymouth Colony.
The famous Mayflower story began in 1606, when a group of reform-minded Separatists in Nottinghamshire, England, founded their own church, separate from the state-sanctioned Church of England. Accused of treason, they were forced to leave the country and settle in the more tolerant Netherlands. After 12 years of struggling to adapt and make a decent living, the group sought financial backing from some London merchants to set up a colony in America. On September 6, 1620, 102 passengers—dubbed Pilgrims by William Bradford, a passenger who would become the first governor of Plymouth Colony—crowded on the Mayflower to begin the long, hard journey to a new life in the New World.
UPDATES
As the Office of Admission gears up for Spring admissions, we’d like to remind you about our exciting Bring-a-Buddy program. A number of cadets have already taken advantage of this program to recommend their friends to the Academy. If you a refer a friend to Army and Navy Academy, you’ll receive a $1000 credit at the Bookstore when he successfully enrolls. That’s a lot of Takis!
Please contact the Office of Admission up the stairs from the Mess Hall if you have any questions about this program.
