What I Did: I mapped out a plan for my immediate and far off future by setting various goals such as graduating from high school. I also researched different internet resources that may be helpful when planning or executing the steps necessary for me to complete my goals. While creating my plan I learned a lot about what I want out of life besides finishing my education and finding a career. While answers to those parts of my plan can't really be found on the internet, there is a lot online that I can read about to help me now, while I am still in high school and college. I found the specific departments that I want to apply to at Stanford and the University of Washington in Seattle. I also talked to a co-worker of mine who informed me about how the relations between college degrees and careers functions in the real world. Mapping out where I want to be at specific intervals has helped me feel more confident about moving forward.
What I Learned: I learned that there is a plethora of different links and organizations that have been set up to aid people like me who are interested in international studies and affairs. I have already started to research these topics in depth and utilize them to my benefit. The other information i have gathered from non-internet sources has made me feel more confident in my decision to educate myself on what I find interesting, and not on something I think is more practical.
How Long it Took Me: About 2.5 hours
