Now that you have watched a video of Purdue Global students receiving their diplomas, take a moment to actually imagine yourself on the stage at the moment when you receive your own diploma. Think about what you will have learned, the new opportunities that will be available to you, and how your life will change.
- Write one short paragraph (a few sentences) describing the positive futureyou have reached after graduating. Be as specific as possible to make this future realistic.
- Write one short paragraph (a few sentences) describing the negative futureyou have avoided by graduating. Be as specific as possible to make this future realistic.
Activity #2
Next, take the perspective of this future “you” and write a short letter that provides some advice to your current self at Purdue Global. This letter will be from the “you” that is graduating in the future to the “you” right now. In your letter, make sure to do the following:
- Tell your present self about how you got to this future. Write about the challenges that you encounteredas you worked through your studies, how you overcame them, and what you did to stay focusedduring challenging times.
- Tell your current self-specific things you could be doing now to help reach graduation successfully. For example, you might write about topics like:
- Making a schedule with specific times to do schoolwork
- Balancing school and home/family responsibilities
- Prioritizing school over other less important things
- Using a system to keep track of deadlines
Your letter should be at least two paragraphs in length.
