Future Goals and Dreams

Navigator – Student Future Goals and Dreams

A wilderness adventure can be fun — and dangerous. When hikers or climbers get lost in a mountainous area, they need to be rescued — frequently by helicopter. Hikers and climbers often use a global positioning system (GPS) which sends signals to a satellite to map out and record their precise position so that they don’t get lost. The GPS device enables them to know exactly where they are and how to get to their destination. Whether mapping a course for a wilderness hike or mapping a course for your life, knowing where you are and where you are going is critical to having a safe and successful hike — or life. Are you wandering aimlessly or walking purposefully?

Everyone has a different destination in life. Navigator is a guidebook, like a GPS, to help you figure out where you are and where you are going. This book can help you to determine your destination in life and learn how to make sound, healthy decisions in order to get where you want to go and navigate through some of the most challenging and exciting years of your life.
