How to Make a Vision Board
High school is the time to explore what matters to you and what inspires you. Whether you're into gaming, scoring the winning goal in the World Cup, diving into science, or imagining new adventures in Tokyo or London, a vision board can help you focus on your passions and goals. With the tools and resources offered by BigFuture®, you can discover what drives you and start preparing for the journey ahead.
Getting Started—Manifest Your Dreams
A vision board is a collection of your hopes, dreams, and goals. By intentionally considering what you want in the future, you're better equipped to take the steps needed to see your dreams come to life.
Set Your Goals
Think about where you want to be in a few years. What do you want to achieve academically, personally, or professionally? Be specific, and write your goals down. If you’re not sure where to start, take the BigFuture Career Quiz to explore career paths that align with your interests and skills. Use the quiz results to help set concrete goals for your future.
Collect Inspiration
Find images, quotes, and other visuals that represent your goals. These could be from magazines, online, or even your own artwork. BigFuture offers resources like career profiles, college information, and scholarship opportunities that can help you identify and visualize your aspirations. Choose things that genuinely resonate with your dreams.
Build Your Board
Arrange your inspirations on a board or digital platform in a way that feels meaningful to you. This is your chance to create a visual representation of your future. Keep your board where you’ll see it daily to stay motivated, and use BigFuture resources to track your progress and refine your goals over time.
