My past experiences with goals and how I achieved them

Goals I have set for myself in the past are mainly just getting better at what I do. As a younger child I was really passionate about drumming. When I was that age I wanted to grow up to be a professional drummer. As I grew up, I played much more drums, everyone who watched would complement me on how well I could play.  I got older and realized that it is really hard to be a professional drummer takes a ton of thing s to learn and lots of gig, practice, and concerts which means I would be away from my family a lot. I have pursued this goal by taking private drum lessons and I practice a lot.  The way I would know if I had achieved my goal is that I check up on it once or twice every month sometimes I make little progress but every once in a while there is a huge jump closer to my goal.
