Hi, Robin!
How are you? I am doing really well but I am somewhat confused, and as you are
one of my smartest friends, I wanted to ask for advice. As you know, I finish high
school in a couple of months, so yesterday I went to the academic fair to see my
options when choosing a major. There are so many interesting programs! I visited
all the different stands.
At the beginning I was thinking about a health major, like Medicine, because I like
to help people, but then I thought that if I studied Medicine, I wouldn’t have a lot of
free time, so I would have to quit my piano lessons L Then, I thought, well, maybe I
should go for a B.A. in Music! But to be honest I don’t think I’d be a good musician
because I only have a year studying piano… if I thought I were a good pianist I
would definitely choose music because it is one of my passions, but I don’t think I
am talented enough. Then I thought about going to Law school, after all, I like
defending people and I think I’m an ethical person, but… what if at some point I
had to defend a guilty criminal? I do not think I could do that!
Therefore, the thing is that I am so confused because I do not know what to study.
I like helping people, music, I have a strong sense of justice, but I also love
traveling and learning languages… I like everything so I am lost! What would you
choose if you were I? Actually, what if I took a year off? Please, help me!
Leve!
Liz
