Directions
Using your cell phone or any other recording device, create a short video where you describe your motivation to be in college. You don’t have to edit or create a professional-grade film. You’ve most likely have done this type of recording already on social media, so use the same informal conversational tone. If you are uncomfortable recording a video you can submit a written response (200-250 words).
Think of your audience as other students who are eager to learn why you are here. If you need some questions to guide your response, here is a short list:
- Did you identify with any of the categories of students listed in the reading? If so, did you identify with more than one? If not, why?
- What made you decide to go to college now?
- What do you hope to achieve?
- How will you be a successful student this term?
- Have you selected a major and/or a career path?
