April 25 2018 Millennials and Success and Vision Boards

Day 3 - Millennials and Success and Vision Boards

We viewed the following piece re: Millennials and Success and had an excellent class discussion on the topic.

We then moved to the library to work on and complete our Vision Boards.

A Vision Board is a tool used to help clarify, concentrate and maintain focus on a specific life goal. 

Literally, a vision board is any sort of board on which you display images that represent whatever 

you want to be, do or have in your life.

Your task for the rest of class and part of next class is to complete your Vision Board!

Please include images for your Career Goal(s), Personal Goal(s) and Life Goal(s)

Vision Boards will be marked utilizing the following rubric.
