First impressions are important. Take a few minutes to review your StrengthsFinder report(s) and answer the following five questions

(Focus on what is STRONG....not wrong)

1. What was your first reaction to your top five themes?

2. What did you discover about yourself after reading your report?

3. What part of your top five surprised you?

4. Which theme among your top five stands out to you and why?

A Goal is a DREAM set to paper. Don’t just think it – INK IT!

Individuals who write down their goals earn 9 times as much over their lifetimes as the people who don’t, and yet 80% of Americans

say they don’t have goals. Sixteen percent do have goals, but they don’t write them down. Less than four percent write down their

goals, and fewer than one percent actually review them on an ongoing basis. Guess which one percent?

WRITE YOUR DREAMS DOWN! (Look, they just became goals!)

9th Grade Goals (9th Grade Matters) What are your DREAMS for your 9th grade year? Topics could include: grades, friendships,

activities, sports, volunteering, organization skills, artistic, etc.

10th Grade Goals What are your DREAMS for your 10th grade year?

Experiential Learning:

Some have already learned that you learn some things best by doing and then reflecting on what you learned. This helps you interpret what these experiences mean to you. If you have not yet done so, it is time to gain some experiential learning to enhance your career development.

The worksheet on the next two pages has you documenting your experiences and add others you would now like to plan for the rest of your high school career. Keeping records of your experiential learning will come in handy as you begin to apply for scholarships, college, and work.

Learn all you can about school and community activities available to you. Carefully consider and plan your options. Fill only the spaces you need.
