How writing down life goals helps students boost their semester grades

Dominique Morisano's research indicated that one could improve grades by having students write out life goals. Michaela Schippers set out to replicate Morisano's work where students are asked about what they want to learn, who they admire and traits they admire. They also paint a verbal picture of where and who they want to be in five years, with many successes and improvements on many fields.
