What is your Big Giant Goal? *

In this box, you should write a sentence or two about your Big Giant Goal. Include what you want to do with your life after college. It should be as specific as possible. Avoid things like ‘I want to be wealthy’ instead think about what you want to be doing in your life and career.

If you do not know what you want to do, create a goal to figure out what you want to do.
