Snow day activity: Help your teen identify their passion

If you’re in Georgia or other parts of the Southeast, today’s snow day is a great chance to get your student thinking about what to major in at college.

Share this exercise with your teen to get them thinking—-once they tire of video games or come in from sledding to warm up.

This is the first of my 3 Circles exercise. I'll share circles 2 & 3 in the next post. If you want those now, email me at pam@whats-your-major.com  I'll send you the worksheet.

Circle #1: Stuff You Love.

What is your student excited or passionate about? Use these questions to prompt their thinking.

Where do I spend my time? My money?

• What do I like to talk about, learn about, or teach others about?
• If I didn’t care what anyone else thought, what would I love to do?
• What would I do without getting paid for it?

Compile the answers you get to see what your student might want to study in college.

If your student is confused about what to study in college, give us a call. We help students find the right direction for them.
