To conclude this unit of study you will complete the Adult Fan Project as a culmination of all that you have learned through this journey of self-discovery. The Adult Fan Project requires you carve out some time to meet with adults who have a positive impact on your life and learn what they believe to be true about who you are. In order for this to be successful you must select three adults who know you very well. One of these three adults may be a parent or both of your parents. Outside of your parents you must interview 2 other adults.
Who are your Adult Fans? Maybe you are close with a neighbor, coach, teacher, someone who you babysit for, or possibly a member of your church? Consider the questions that you have ask to this person. Some of these questions won’t be easy to ask but work through the discomfort and potential awkwardness and you will find valuable discussions emerge.
You will be required to submit a paper at the conclusion of the three interviews. Consider asking your Adult Fan the following questions. Feel free to come up with your own questions to keep the conversation flowing.
- How would you describe the kind of person I am today? How have I changed or stayed the same since I was younger?
- What are some of my strengths? What specific qualities do I have that will help me to achieve my goals?
- How have I made you proud?
- Everyone gets stressed and feels pressure. Have you noticed specific things that create added pressure for me? What is good about the way I deal with stress? How could I improve?
- As you know I am interested in ___________________, what do you think of this for my future?
- What are some of my general blind spots/weaknesses/areas for improvement?
- Do you have any dreams for my future? What are they? What is your vision for me?
