What you're interested in matters

No matter who you are or where you’re from, there’ll be a time in your life when you’re unsure, anxious, or confused about the path ahead. Maybe that time for you is now, or maybe you’re confident that the path you’re on is the right one for you. Regardless of where you’re at right now, it’s important to stop and ask yourself: What’s the bigger picture, and what am I working toward?

LESSON QUESTIONS

The questions below will help you reflect on the lesson video. We recommend that you write your answers digitally or on paper, but if you'd rather express yourself another way, do what feels right!

Roadtrip Nation encourages exploring different avenues—and even getting a little "lost" in the process—in order to find yourself and the path for you. Think about a time in your life when you felt lost. Describe the situation, how you felt, and how you found yourself again.
2
What excites you most about where you are in life right now? What questions do you have about where you’re going and how you might get there?
3
Is there something that you’re “hungry” for—an interest or activity that gets you up in the morning and gets you excited? Or are you struggling to identify the thing that really lights you up at your core? Describe where you are in life right now.
