What's a SMART goal you're working towards?

A SMART goal that I am working towards this year is working towards getting on President's list for straight A's. Making this list will not only allow me to feel accomplished but also be a good thing to have on my resume. Over the last few years I have made the dean's list but never the president's list. This specific goal means working extra hard to get A's on all assignments and quizzes, studying extra hard for exams, and staying on track with every class. This goal is attainable because I currently have all A's in the classes I am in now, if I keep trying my best it is possible. My goal is to stay caught up every week or even stay ahead in my work, before exams join office hours for extra help, and to communicate with every professor to make sure I'm doing everything correctly. I have until the second week of May, finals week, and the rest of the semester to stay on track. The steps I will be taking are to do at least an hour of school work every day, watch all lecture videos posted, and to stay ahead in my online classes.
