Deciding on college ishardi:c:,r
IBY PATRICIA RIMMER
Life sure was great when I was too young
to make my own decisions. Where, when
and what I would eat was always left up to
Mom and still often is. My parents would
decide for nyetwhen I was tired, when I was
hungry and when 1 was sick. I guess I was
too stupid when I was a kid to know myself.
Mom decided when it was time to come
inside at night from playing outside (usually
when the streetlights came on) and whether
or not I had to wear winter clothes still or
not. Parents have a lot of responsibility when
they make decisions.
Now I am grown-up, or so they 'say, and 1
have to make some decisions myself.
Imagine; it is up to me to make the important
decision of how many times a week to wash
my hair. Pretty neat, huh? There actually are
a lot of decisions that senior high school
students are responsible to make within the
next three months or so.
COLLEGE APPLICATIONS
Lest week the colleges sent out the first
round of acceptances to students. Many
students anxiously and impatiently waited
for mail coming from the colleges. When the
first of my letters came in the mail last
Monday I panicked. First, I held . the
envelope hi my hand and looked at if for a
few minutes, 1t was from Lambton College in
Sarnia, a definite consideration for me next
year.
A tingly feeling surrounded me as I
quickly tore the envelope open, unsure of
what was going .to be said in the letter. I
have known how to read for over 10 years
and yet while holding that paper it seemed
that my reading skills were very poor. This
could be due partly to that my hands were
shaking and my eyes were twitching.
Lambton College was the first college to

accept me and I was delighted, excited and a
little anxious to see if any other colleges
accepted me. 1 was lucky I guess and I did
get accepted again. 1 faced a problem,
however, since I did not apply to tie colleges .'
for one program but, instead I applied foi;?tu:
two: journalism and Early Childhood Educa-:Tt'
don. Since I have definite interests in both
programs it was hard for me to decide which
road to choose.
After a greet deal of consideration I
decided that journalism is my best belt and I
am very excited now that 1 will be going to
Lambton College to study. ; •
HARD DECISION
It was a hard decision tomaket but.1 am
really glad 'now that my family and Mends
let me make this decision on airy own. 1
pleaded.many times for opinions but luckily •
those close to me understood better than 1
,did the importance of making this decision
independently.
en deciding where to go to school after
high school, a student depends on the
support of his/her family and friends.
However, if is the student who will have to
cram for exams, sit through classes and work
hard for every mark achieved, not the
parents or friends. With a diploma in hand at
the end of two years it is the student that will
have to find a job in the chosen field. It was a
big and intportant decision but I'm glad I
made it.
In June the universities will be sending
out their replies to students as to whether or
not they are accepted. As well as applying to
college, i also applied, to three universities. SCIENCE FAIR WINNERS—Huron Centen-
