Chemistry
In the natural and physical sciences, a vital strategy in helping students discover their purpose is to present scenarios in which they can experience the exhilaration of discovery. The moment a young researcher detects that he or she has made a contribution to the unknown—however incremental—the student becomes impassioned and will immediately begin crafting the next logical experiment.

Psychology
In order to discover their purpose, students need to be given an opportunity to learn about what their community and their world need, in addition to learning about what their personal strengths and passions are. I try to give them a safe place in my work with them to talk about both.

Undecided
I chose my major because I tried out a couple of courses in each major that I was deciding between, and I found myself looking forward to my communications classes more and more. I've also chosen to be a theatre arts minor, and I'm actually going to be able to graduate in three and a half years comfortably.
