WHAT’S YOUR “WHY?”

Starting college can (and should!) be an exciting and challenging time of your life. There are many new experiences, people and opportunities awaiting you. It’s a big undertaking, but one in which you’re fully capable of finding success. To take full advantage of this experience, it’s important to understand your drive and motivation in relation to your collegiate journey.

Your support people (family, friends, mentors, etc.) can be huge motivators behind the reason you chose to start college, but a deeper, more personal reason will often take you further. We want to help you walk across the stage at graduation, and fully understanding your own personal “Why?” can be a great motivator to accomplish this goal. Think about it. Chat with your family and friends. Take some time to articulate your “Why?” and tell others about your goals and motivations. This allows them to help hold you accountable and provide important nudges along the way.

The key to accomplishing your “Why?” is to realize you're never alone and bringing others into your why is your first step on the path to your success.
