Ambers Story
● Amber loves life and other people, but she feels like she makes one bad decision after another.
She feels that sometimes her life lacks purpose even though she works hard and wants to do
the right thing.
Directions: Read the paragraph below and then fill in what you think Amber
should have done differently in the situation with the goal setting process.
Story: Amber is an outgoing, social teen. She loves to laugh and to have fun
with others. Monday, during lunch, she announced that she is having a party
that Friday night. All day people told her that they would come. Since she was
not sure how many would attend her party, she ordered quantities of snacks
and soda to be delivered on Friday morning. Then, she bought a new dress to
wear. ON Wednesday she spent the evening making up party games and
activities. By Thursday she sat down with her mother to go over her party
activities. Her mother was angry because her aunt and her six children were
due to arrive Friday morning. Friday, Amber went to school in a bad mood
because she had to tell everyone that the party was off.
