College. That seven letter word is the first step to being independent. It starts the beginning of your career and what you are going to spend the rest of your life doing. College is full of new experiences and decisions that will have to be made. I’m only a sophomore and I am already looking for difference colleges to think about and finding out information on them. I’m still undecided though.
My top choices so far would be to major in forensic science, law, or music. I think it should be pretty neat to be able to determine the cause of death, the time of death, how fast a bullet was going, etc. It would be like being a secret agent. Also, my parents say that I argue with them [and other people] all the time, and that a lot of the time I’m good at it, so I would be a good lawyer. Being a lawyer would be neat because you’d be able to make the right decisions about big situations. My love for music hasn’t changed, so majoring in music would make school a fun place to be.
Being on your own is definitely exciting and something to look forward to. But if you think about it, it’s also a scary thought. There are crazy people out in this world. There are mean-spirited, cruel and nasty people out there. Temptations for many different things: sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. are also running wild. Those things and people are with us in high school, but you are all on your own after high school. I think though, that if you have a good head on your shoulders, and keep God strong in your heart, the decisions that you will be faced with, it will be much easier to make the right choices.
“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to humanity. God is faithful and He will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation He will also provide a way of escape, so that you are able to bear it.” I Corinthians 10:13
