Goals are very important because they help people push themselves to do things that they thought they could never do. Rewarding yourself for reaching goals can be a good idea, but not all the time because you need to keep pushing yourself to do better than you did before. Depending on what you do, some good rewards are getting gift cards for yourself, go and buy something you've been wanting for a really long time, etc... All of these are really stuff for parents to do, like if you got straight A's you can go shopping for things you want and such.
