Should a student in a class that is helping them with their future be asked to look at themselves?

I think that is the best idea yet.  How can you have them look into the future, the community, and education without asking them how they feel about themselves?  As students WE ARE the future, WE ARE education, WE ARE the community, so now we need to know exactly who WE ARE. People don’t walk around everyday know their every move or being positive that they are ready to do something new. Stepping into college is a whole new territory. Now we sit here and we think of our past, the things that have made us into what we are and we have the future forced upon us, the thing that will make us “whole”.  Sometimes future and past is being put out into the world to much, the thing we are always less focused on is the present.
