My Quality World For this assignment, you are going to dream. You will begin with the end in mind…what do you want to “transform” into both personally and professionally? Your dreams are a large element of who you are and what makes you unique. Having dreams gives our lives meaning, helps us make good choices, and allows us to keep going despite setbacks and problems. Most successful people have dreams…a vision of want they want in life. As a college student, you are in the process of dreaming about a new future, a new career, and new world of ideas and knowledge. You are looking for your purpose in life. You might be undecided (which is normal for new college students), but go with your “gut feelings”. Instructions for this assignment: Write a 400-600 word essay about your Quality World answering the five questions below. Give your essay an original title such as “A Look into the Future”. Follow the attached rubric so you know how I will grade your essay. Place it in the “Quality World Assignment” button in e-campus as well as in your ABOUT ME folder of your eportfolio. In your essay, be sure to answer the following five questions: 1. Tell me what your “quality world” will look like 10 years from now? Such as: College, Career, Relationships, Values, Possessions, and Personal Qualities. 2. List one barrier in the way of making it to your Quality World and how you see it being a problem for you. For example, a barrier could be a lack of motivation. If you do not know why you are in college and unsure of your major, you may not be very motivated to continue school and it would act as a barrier. 3. Create one goal you can work on now which will help you overcome this barrier/obstacle written about in #2. For example, if you are unsure about your career, a goal may be to go to the Career Services office this month and take a free career assessment/interest inventory and look up 2 potential majors that match your interests. That could give you the motivation needed to reach your Quality World! 4. Take the personality assessment located within Unit 3 (http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp) and tell me what it tells you about the way you learn and the career/major you are choosing. 5.

For this assignment, you are going to dream. You will begin
with the end in mind…what do you want to “transform” into
both personally and professionally?

you unique. Having dreams gives our lives meaning, helps us

the process of dreaming about a new future, a new career, and
new world of ideas and knowledge. You are looking for your
purpose in life. You might be undecided (which is normal for
new college students), but go with your “gut feelings”.
