Your future is up to you.

Thoughts Become Visions – To begin your journey you must first have a vision. A vision is an abstract visualization of how you would like your life to be.
Visions Become Plans – A plan is the road to follow to achieve your vision.
Plans Lead To Possibilities – When you venture beyond the scope of normal thinking, a plan allows you to see possibilities.
Possibilities Become Goals – What are you capable of doing with your life? What type of potential do you possess?
Goals Become Opportunities – Goals are measurable and achievable actions that are translated from your vision. Goals consist of two or more milestones or hills to climb.

I received my first copy of this book during my sophomore year at North Mesquite High School. My father used it as a guide to help me make my vision a reality. There were many things that I wanted to do with my life. We had many conversations, many vision-related trips, and annual reviews of my plans and goals. Today, I have chosen the profession that provides me the most joy and excitement. My parents, high school teachers and counselors, and college professors have been instrumental in helping me to reach my full potential. Where Will You Find Your Star enabled me to reach inside my thoughts and seek out those who had the knowledge. — Andrew R. Williams, II, Communications Major, Prairie View A&M U.
