[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 46727, member: 5063"] 2020 has been a really weird year on a number of different levels for me. On one hand, I've hit some of the highest highs of any year in my life to date: - 2 vacation schemes - TC secured - Launched my company with 2 great business partners - Fiancée secured TC, so we know we'll both be in London together on the same pathway On the other, it's also included some of the most stressful and challenging times of my life: - In March, my younger brother was left seriously ill in hospital with COVID (6th confirmed case in Scotland) - I'm still in long-term recovery from a serious spinal injury from 2018, which poses daily (hourly!) challenges in my everyday life - My home was broken into in September while my fiancée was home alone- processing that, the repercussions and impacts, subsequent house move etc. I've never had more commitments than I currently do, albeit I thrive when I'm working at peak capacity. I always find it extremely challenging to make goals or resolutions at the end of the year, in part because I'm a firm believer that a change can happen at any time and doesn't need to wait until Jan 1st, and in part because I've had so many unforeseeable experiences which have turned things topsy-turvy in the past that I'm somewhat reluctant to. I'm also more a fan of moving, dynamic goals that set or stationary ones. With all that said, in the spirit of this thread, I'll have a go. Personal goal: - Settle into life in London when we move in the summer. There are always challenges that come alongside a big move, especially when that move is in excess of 550 miles away to a city I've never spent more than a week in at a time. It'll take a huge amount of getting used to, but I'm definitely ready for it. Professional goal: This one is harder. The obvious is just to say to get the 2.1 I need for my TC offer and call it a day, but I feel there should be something more interesting! If I had to make a single goal: - Continue to develop my professional personal brand so that, by the time I am firmly in the workplace, I have a professional identity in which I am happy and confident.
