9. Conversation Starters for You
Encourage your student to think more deeply about themselves:
What classes or subject areas fascinate and absorb you?
What classes are you taking that allow you to try/learn something new?
What careers have you considered throughout your lifetime that continue to pique your interest?
If you won the lottery, what might you do (after initial celebration, travel, etc.)?
What is the most gratifying thing you have accomplished?
What would you go out and do if you knew you would not fail?
What student clubs or organizations on campus have attracted your attention?
Since you arrived at Brandeis, have you connected with or met new people? What new skills are you learning? Did you find anything unexpected?  
What are your goals and dreams? Short-term? long-term?
