HOPE Chapter 2 Timeline and Goals
Short-term goals are often stepping stones to achieving a long-term goal. A time line can

2. Identify at least four short-term goals that are directly related to the achievement of your
long-term goal.

Use the time line below to show your short-term goals and your long-term goal. The circle
at the far left is today. The circle at the far right is when you hope to achieve your long-term
goal. Put an estimated date for the achievement of your long-term goal and a brief descrip-
tion of it by the circle on the right. Then mark on the time line when you hope to achieve
each of your short-term goals. You may use an additional sheet of paper if you need more
