Note your fears.
Think about fears you may have, such as speaking in front of a
group, moving out after high school, or not getting accepted at the
college you
want to go to. You‘ll be able to see if you‘ve overcome these issues in the future.
Also, thinking about them now may help you realize that they may not be so bad
after all, or even help you come up with strategies to cope or a backup plan.[4]
Identify your key values and beliefs.
Ask yourself what guides the current you.
Your belief system (whether religious or secular) and your personal code of ethics
play a large role in your actions. Making yourself conscious of your
values can
help shape your ideas of who you want to be in the future.[5]
Include information about your church, if you belong to one, or
values
like accepting everyone‘s faith, or lack thereof. Add morals that guide
you, such as always being kind, or helping others in need.
Note your skills and abilities.
Pick out a few skills or
abilities you can clearly
identify in your current life, like
winning a tennis tournament, leading the
marching band, or organizing school functions. You may be a great writer or excel
at math. Thinking about what you are good at now can help you decide what you
want to accomplish later in life.[6]
Define your goals and hopes.
Write about things that are important to you now,
such as playing varsity soccer or getting into a good college. You should also think
about what you hope
to accomplish in the future, such as travel to Europe, publish
an article in a magazine, or get your band a gig.[7]
