For this report, you are to prayerfully consider who you really are and what you believe God's plan is for your future. Consider the following questions and, using Scripture, write a 250 word essay using these questions as a starting point. You are encouraged to think through all of these questions; they will enable you to know yourself better and will help you in writing a better paper. Not all of these questions have to be answered, but be sure you clearly answer at least 5 of the question sets (of your choice) in detail.


1. Why do I really want to go to college?
2. What kind of person would I like to become? Do I know what I want to major in? Has God called me to a specific area of ministry? Do I know some of my gifts and talents?
3. How important is my Christian faith? Would I enjoy the challenge of facing people with a variety of different beliefs? Or would a Christian college be more to my liking?
4. What are my educational goals? What do I really want to get out of college? What are my expectations?
5. What do I really know about different types of people? How much diversity have I really experienced? Would I thrive in a setting where I could learn from a variety of different people, different cultures, different religions? Or would I feel threatened? Would I rather stay with people who are basically like me?
6. Do I look forward to the idea of being away from home, from family and friends? Am I worried about being homesick?
7. What's my definition of success? So far, am I happy with my accomplishments in life? What are the most important values (spiritual, moral, political, financial) in my life? How will my college environment affect my values?
8. Do I expect college to change me in any way? Why or why not?
