1. Answer the question, “Why am I going to college?”
1.回答自己這樣一個(gè)問題:“我為什么要上大學(xué)?”
Many college students really don’t have a clear reason for being there other than the fact that they don’t know what else to do yet. They inherit goals from family and peers which aren’t truly their own. That was how I started college. Is this you as well?
許多大學(xué)生朋友們對于自己為什么上大學(xué)心中都沒有一個(gè)很明確的概念而不是說不知道自己到底應(yīng)該做什么。他們從自己的家庭或者同齡人中獲得了相同的目標(biāo),而這個(gè)目標(biāo)并不是他們自己的。而我就是這樣的。你是否也又遇到了相同的情況呢?
Your goals for college will likely be different than mine. What are they? Why are you there? If you don’t know — and I mean really know it in your gut — then you have no focal point for your experience. You may as well not even be there. What is it about your experience that resonates as true for you? What are you there to learn? What do you want to experience?
你在大學(xué)的夢想和我的肯定是不盡相同的。這些夢想是什么呢?你為什么會到大學(xué)里面來呢?如果你不知道-我是指不是你本能的那種明白的話-那么你的人生經(jīng)歷中就沒有了所謂的焦點(diǎn),那就像是沒有上大學(xué)一樣的。到底是什么樣子的經(jīng)歷能夠在你的內(nèi)心產(chǎn)生最真是的深切的共鳴呢?你到大學(xué)是為了學(xué)習(xí)什么的呢?你想要經(jīng)歷些什么呢?
