Well, the big question was sort of a joke to me. I was honestly trying to think of a question and nothing came up, so a friend and I thought of "How am I going to die?" Yes, it was silly, but honestly, that is not my big question. I really don't want to know how i'm going to die. So here is my new big question: 

In life, there are times that are unfair/ unlucky events, are certain people luckier than other? There's a relation to karma, why can some people get away with things without any consequences? When I do something regretful or bad, it always comes back and bites me, but I feel like there are some people who get away with everything. This big question ties in with my success in class because it will push me to work harder so I won't get unlucky or unsatisfied with my grade in class. I do feel like that I am unlucky with the effort I put into in some things such as tests. Collaborative working groups can also help me become successful but my big question does not relate to that. The groups are used to share out ideas and to create something. The smart goals, along with my big questions will all matter how successful I want to be. The smart goals also relate to my big question because one of my goals is to go to a college of my choice (short term), it is both attainable and manageable, but the time is running short. I believe getting in to college, I can prove that some people don't get away with consequences and all my effort I put in will pay off by getting in to the college of my choice.
