1. Title this journal entry: MY LIFE PLAN. Below the title, complete the part of your life plan for your role as a student.

- My Dream: [If you have a compelling dream, describe it here. If you're not sure what your dream is, you can simply write, "I'm searching."] - My Life Role: College Student (Major-General Business) - My Long-Term Goals in This Role: [These are the outcomes you plan to achieve as a student in the next two to ten years, or even longer if necessary.] - My Short-Term Goals in This Role: [These are the outcomes you plan to achieve as a student this semester; each one achieved brings you closer to your long-term goals as a student.]

Remember to apply the DAPPS rule, making sure that each long- and short-term goal is Dated, Achievable, Personal, Positive, and Specific. With this in mind, you may need to revise the desired outcomes that you transfer here from Journal Entry 8.

YOUR CHOICE: If you wish, repeat this process for one or more of your other life roles-employee, parent, athlete, and so on. The more roles you plan, the more complete your vision of life will be. Taken together, these pages map your route to a rich, personally fulfilling life.

2. Write about what you have learned or relearned by designing your life plan. In particular, identify any impact this effort has had on your level of motivation to do well in college this semester, or do well in any other parts of your life.
