When working towards a goal, consider how your personal strengths and abilities can help to achieve it. Remember to set goals that are S. M.A. R.T. E.R. (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, time-bound, and able to be evaluated and readjusted). Planning S. M.A. R.T. E.R. goals that also align with your personal, academic, and professional values are an effective way to keep your motivation moving in the right direction. Of course, you’ve already achieved some goals in your life, so you've likely experienced feelings of personal satisfaction and pride. Luckily, these are feelings you can continuously revisit as you continue reaching your goals! Step 2: Create a new thread and answer all three parts of the initial prompt below:

1. What is a current personal, educational, or professional goal that you are working towards achieving in your life? Explain.
2. Describe at least two actions you are taking to reach your current goal.
3. Reflect on your past accomplishments and describe a personal, educational, or professional goal that you have already achieved in your life. How did accomplishing this goal make you feel?​

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
