Sunday Future
In this season of life changing events like weddings and
graduations, I sometimes give my students a short assignment. It is usually
done during the last class of the year or close to it. I tell them to write
down where they would like to be and what they hope to be doing in ten years.
It’s the Ten-Year Assignment.
This type of activity can help motivate at any time of the
year, however. By physically writing down goals and dreams, it helps clarify
them, and provides a tangible item to refer to – now or in the future.
Students have contacted me ten years later and asked if I
still have their papers. I do. It is interesting to see how closely, or how
differently their lives unfolded compared to what they wrote down as teenagers.
So write down your goals, both near and far. Put the paper
in a safe place. Refer to it often – or in ten years. It will be inspirational
and educational.
