It doesn’t take much to get started with a life vision; all you need is to have an interest in appreciating and
guiding your own life. Once you have that, beginning your portfolio makes good sense. And while there
isn’t a set format for an LVP, having one is important enough that it’s part of the requirements for this
course. You may be thinking, “Yeah, nice idea, but what do I actually need to DO?” The information on
this page provides you with the criteria that your life vision and LVP should meet. It also outlines what
additions you will be asked to make to your portfolio during this course. Remember: Starting your life
vision is the first step in the process of planning and tracking your growth and development, not only as a
student, but in all facets of your life.
