1. Answer the question, “Why am I going to college?”
1.回答自己这样一个问题:“我为什么要上大学?”
Many college students really don’t have a clear reason for being there other than the fact that they don’t know what else to do yet. They inherit goals from family and peers which aren’t truly their own. That was how I started college. Is this you as well?
许多大学生朋友们对于自己为什么上大学心中都没有一个很明确的概念而不是说不知道自己到底应该做什么。他们从自己的家庭或者同龄人中获得了相同的目标,而这个目标并不是他们自己的。而我就是这样的。你是否也又遇到了相同的情况呢?
Your goals for college will likely be different than mine. What are they? Why are you there? If you don’t know — and I mean really know it in your gut — then you have no focal point for your experience. You may as well not even be there. What is it about your experience that resonates as true for you? What are you there to learn? What do you want to experience?
你在大学的梦想和我的肯定是不尽相同的。这些梦想是什么呢?你为什么会到大学里面来呢?如果你不知道-我是指不是你本能的那种明白的话-那么你的人生经历中就没有了所谓的焦点,那就像是没有上大学一样的。到底是什么样子的经历能够在你的内心产生最真是的深切的共鸣呢?你到大学是为了学习什么的呢?你想要经历些什么呢?
