THINGS TO THINK ABOUT FOR YOUR FUTURE



Story Tech : adapted by Arthur Harkins

It’s (today’s date ten years hence, e.g. March 5, 2017). You have come to your old favorite pizza place in your home town for a planned reunion with a few of your friends from high school. Ten years ago you and these close friends you are about to meet again were having a serious discussion about your individual dreams or vision for your future. You agreed to meet at this location in ten years to check with each other on your progress toward realizing your dreams/vision. You are early and have time to reflect and write some notes to share with your friends who will be arriving soon. Reflect on your progress in your journey toward realizing your dreams/vision and on the positive steps you have taken toward your goal. Jot down some notes to share with your friends when they arrive:

First describe: (2 minutes)

• what you look like:

• what you are wearing:

• where you are living/working/etc:

• the way you are feeling:

Now, write about: (approx. 5 minutes, complete on back of w.s.)

• your progress toward realizing the dreams/vision you talked about ten years ago...what have you accomplished over the last 10 years?
