thinking about the future.

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

-Howard Thurman

 
“For I know the plans I have for you,”  declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
-Jeremiah 29:11

before we end this year, i want you to start thinking about your future. what do you want to be when you grow up? what are your passions? what makes you come alive? next year, we will focus on these things, especially as we go on field trips and have guests visit our building.

below are two career personality tests.
job personality
choose a career path

after looking at the results, research 2 or 3 of the careers.  see if it lines up with your interests.  we will journal about these career choices in class.
