    Assignment, Week 1

    What Are Your Motivations?

    Name: ______________________________

    PACE111 Section: ___________________

    This assignment is about understanding your motivations for coming to the university
    and what drives you to accomplish milestones in your life. Your goals and motivations
    are driven by your underlying values—the reasons you desire to achieve certain things.
    Values inform our thoughts, words, and actions, and they help us to grow, develop, and
    envision and create the future we want to experience. 

    Assignment Part 1: The first step in better understanding your values is by


    writing three to five goals for yourself in the table below. These could be personal or
    professional goals, and they could be short-term or long-term goals. You should aim to
    make them SMART goals.

    Your Goals
    Goal 1: Example: Finish my undergraduate degree in Marketing by December 2022.

    Goal 2:

    Goal 3:

    Goal 4:

    Goal 5:

    Assignment Part 2: Once you’ve established your goals, think about what is motivating
    you to achieve those specific goals. Is it to get to a certain level in your career? Is it to
    achieve something you’ve always wanted to for personal reasons? Is it to set a good
    example for your family or friends?
    The second piece of this assignment is to establish two or three motivations for each
    goal you’ve identified and write these in the table below. Copy your goals into the area
    below from part 1 of the assignment.
    Your Motivations
    Goal 1: Finish my undergraduate degree Motivations: Promotion at work;
    in Marketing by December 2022 higher salary; accomplishment
    Goal 2: Copy Goal 2 from part 1 Motivations:

    Goal 3: Copy Goal 3 from part 1 Motivations:

    Assignment, Week 1
    What Are Your Motivations?

    Goal 4: Copy Goal 4 from part 1 Motivations:

    Goal 5: Copy Goal 5 from part 1 Motivations:

    Your motivation for doing anything generally stems from your values. Motivating


    forces could be values instilled in you from a young age, or values you hold because
    of what you’ve learned or been exposed to. Your core values are those that drive your
    behaviors, actions, and words. They are the reasons we dedicate our time and energy
    to most things in our lives. They are our guiding principles.

    Assignment Part 3: Now that you’ve established goals and acknowledged your
    motivations, consider what motivates you, and write the underlying reason for each
    goal. These are your values. There could be one or several values for each goal that
    you have, and the values might be the same or similar for different goals. In the table
    below, copy your goals from part 1 of the assignment and enter your values.

    There are no wrong answers for this exercise. The purpose is to establish your values
    and to recognize what drives you to accomplish milestones in your life. 

    Your Values
    Goal 1: Finish my undergraduate degree Values: Integrity and work ethic; reaching
    in Marketing by December 2022 my potential through education
    Goal 2: Copy Goal 2 from part 1 Values:

    Goal 3: Copy Goal 3 from part 1 Values:

    Goal 4: Copy Goal 4 from part 1 Values:

    Goal 5: Copy Goal 5 from part 1 Values:

    Assignment Part 4: Now that you’ve established goals, acknowledged your


    motivations, and reflected on your values, it’s time to consider how to go about
    achieving your goals. There are likely several steps you’d need to take in order to reach
    your ultimate goals, but writing down the first step that you can (and will) take can help
    you to form a plan of action.

    For each of your goals, list the next step you plan to take in order to achieve it.
