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: What needs to be accomplished and how?
Measurable: Can you assign a number or clear specific benchmarks for accomplishing the goal?
Achievable: 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: 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
Robert Falcon Scott reaches the South Pole
After a two-month ordeal, the expedition of British explorer Robert Falcon Scott arrives at the South Pole only to find that Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian explorer, had preceded them by just over a month. Disappointed, the exhausted explorers prepared for a long and difficult journey back to their base camp.
Scott, a British naval officer, began his first Antarctic expedition in 1901 aboard the Discovery. During three years of exploration, he discovered the Edward VII Peninsula, surveyed the coast of Victoria Land—which were both areas of Antarctica on the Ross Sea—and led limited expeditions into the continent itself. In 1911, Scott and Amundsen began an undeclared race to the South Pole.

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.
