Self-awareness
I engage in realistic self-appraisal: I know what I’m good at, care about and like to do; I know my limitations
I am confident and positive about my identity
I identify skills, interests, talents and attitudes that I have developed through diverse life/work/learning experiences
I envision myself in the future and I take responsibility for getting there
I describe necessary education/training and/or other experiences to prepare for my preferred future
I invite, evaluate, reflect upon, and, when appropriate, integrate feedback from multiple sources
I initiate discussions with others to expand my thinking on my preferred future
I recognize the interconnectedness of my personal identity, life roles and community
I confront my personal biases, recognizing their impact on myself and others
I recognize how my feelings, thoughts and actions influence each other
I recognize when I am not ready for work, school or additional responsibilities
