Hi, Melissa! How are you doing?
I'm so stressed! I don't know where to go to school and what to major in!
Don't worry. You have plenty of time to decide.
Actually, I don't. If I want to get grants and scholarships to help me pay for tuition, then I need to apply by Monday.
Oh, I see. Well, let me see if I can help you. What's your favorite subject?
I like English, math, art, and music.
Ok. Which one do you like the most?
I guess I'd have to say English . I usually do pretty well in English classes, too.
Which subject do you get your highest grades in?
Actually, that would have to be math.
Ok, well. What kind of job do you want to get when you graduate?
I don't know. All I know is that I want to make lots of money!
Alright. So, is it more important to you to make money or to enjoy your work?
In a perfect world, I would enjoy my word, not have to do much, and make lots of money!
Ok. Stop dreaming. Since you sound a bit unsure, I'd suggest taking both math and English classes your first semester to see which you enjoy more. You can always change your mind.
That's a good idea. But what about deciding on where to go to college?
Why don't we go take a tour of some of the universities around here this weekend?
That sounds like a great idea, but to be honest, I've already decide that I don't want to go to school near home.
Oh? Why not?
I need to broaden my horizons. That's what you always say, right?
