I'm going to earn key roles in four major college dramas by the time I graduate. I'm going to earn an MBA (Master of Business Administration) degree within six years.

As you read it, prepare to answer these questions: What images can you picture from this description? What sensory words does the writer use? What emotions come to mind as you read the description? What would you add or change to make the visualization more effective for you?

3 | 16 Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. I get a huge grin on my face and start laughing out loud. I remember a waitress at a barbecue place in North Carolina. When she came to take away my plate, I showed her some lyrics I'd written on a napkin. "You're going to hear this on the radio one day. It’s called ‘A Mama Who Will Stay,’" I told her. Riding in my car, I chuckle out loud, reach over and turn the volume up a bit. A feeling of tremendous satisfaction washes through me like a warm breeze. My dream has come true! MY VISUALIZATION (JOURNAL ENTRY 10) I am driving down a back road in the Appalachian foothills, listening to a country music station. It's a beautiful day, sun glistening on autumn leaves, air crisp and clean. I roll down the window and feel the wind on my arm, take another sip of Mountain Dew. After a classic Emmylou Harris song, the DJ announces, "Here's a new song from Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, off their latest album. This one's called 'A Mama Who Will Stay.' I think you're gonna like it."

3 | 17 Copyright © Cengage Learning. All rights reserved. VISUALIZATION What images can you picture from this description? What sensory words does the writer use? What emotions come to mind as you read the description? What would you add or change to make the visualization more effective for you? Remember these suggestions when you write your own visualization.
