As the end of the school year approaches, remember this: some accomplishments have been had, but more opportunities await. While it is important to look back and reflect on all that you have done this academic year, it is also important to look to the future.

For many, the future includes college plans. College is an important part of adulthood and transitioning to the workforce; however, instead of focusing on college I encourage you all to reflect on your bigger goals. Where do you want to live when you’re 30? Do you want to have a family? What is your dream job? When you look forward to a future beyond college, then college will become a stepping stone to a greater goal–your future life.

Now you may be thinking it isn’t important for a high schooler to plan beyond college (or even high school for that matter), but I can tell you that the road map to accomplish your goals is better reached with a destination. If you don’t have an end to your map, then you may be lost trying to figure out your future life. You may lose valuable time and money by investing in the wrong things.
