Step 30

Realizing That You Are Already Learning About Your Future

Even though freshman year is early, you are already learning useful things about:


  • what motivates you

  • what environments fit you

  • what kinds of work you enjoy

  • how you handle responsibility

  • what interests keep returning

  • what kinds of people affect you positively


While they can’t predict your entire future, these patterns are important because they slowly help you understand yourself more clearly.
