It was summer of my freshman year, the A/C was barely working in my small dorm, and I was trying to focus on my Intro to Math homework. In frustration, I slammed the book like a four-year-old, which caught the attention of my roommate Danny.
“I have no idea what I’m doing.”, I exclaimed.
“Like, with the homework or existentially?”, Danny inquired.
“I don’t think this is for me, I don’t want to be a Psychology major. I don’t want to be at this school…”
My story is very similar to millions of Americans. Around 80% of college students change their major at least once, while on average most change at least three times. This doesn’t include those that change schools. This can lead to added stress on the student and their family, significantly more college debt, as well as adding multiple years onto their college journey. What if there was a way to help with that process?
KnowingMe™ Scholar is a self-awareness assessment that helps an individual learn more about themselves on a deeper level. They learn about what drives them, what their motivations are in life. They discover what the strengths are that come most naturally to them. They also discover an insight into their personality and how they’re perceived by others. Converging this information, the KnowingMe™ Scholar provides an in depth look at the whole person AND it provides a list of academic fields based on who they are as a person. These academic fields are an excellent starting place to start looking at what majors might be right for your student.
College is an exciting time for a person. It’s full of new life experiences, personal growth on academic, emotional, and social levels. Yet, it can also cause much stress. At KnowingMe, we want to help reduce that stress and help save you and your student time and money. Invest in your future – take the KnowingMe™ Scholar assessment now.
