Heather Malin, author of Teaching for Purpose, found that adults who effectively help kids discover personal interests and purpose are those who can model their own purpose. In this journal, reflect on your own sense of purpose and how you can encourage children to cultivate their personal interests, purposes, and passions.
In your journal, address the following questions:
1) What brings you joy and purpose?
2) Are you willing to commit your resources, time, and attention to in pursuit of your purpose?
3) Identify the most meaningful aspects of your life.
4) Do you have specific interests and passions that align with your purpose?
Your journal must be three double-spaced pages (not including title and reference pages). You are to use subheadings to organize your journal.
