Visions of the Future The greatest unknown in lif Visions of the Future

The greatest unknown in life is the future. It holds our hopes, dreams and the state of the world in its hands. As high-schoolers, we are expected to choose and set the course of our life before we even graduate. As humans we wonder and worry what the future holds for us. But it doesn’t have to be scary. “Visions of the Future” is the idea that despite the unknown, we have the greatest tool to help manage it, our imagination. Imagine the future and its infinite possibilities. What do you want your future to look like? Where would you be living, what would you be doing? Take a step back further and imagine the future of the world. How will humans as a whole change? What will our world look like in the future? It can be as personal or impersonal, serious or whimsical as you would like. Take the past, learn from it, evolve from it. Take the time to visualize the future.
