Visualize Your Future
What's important to you?
When you picture yourself in 10, 15, or 20 years what will you be doing? How will you be feeling? You'll be working and making money, but what will the rest of your life be like?
In order to help plan your future it helps to have an idea of what you want your life to look like. Life will always throw you curveballs, but visualizing your goals will help you get there.
For this assignment you will be creating a slide show that visualizes what your future might look like. Follow the steps below to complete your visualization.
