question:
F: What are you doing? ,M: I'm working on my college application. I just started writing my personal statement, but I'm having a hard time. ,F: What does it have to be about? ,M: It's basically just an essay about why I want to go to college and what I hope to do there. It's difficult to write, because I don't know what to major in yet. I know I want to go to college. I just don't have an idea of why I want to go. ,F: Why not just tell the truth in your essay? ,M: You mean I should write about the fact that I don't know what to do with my life? ,F: Yeah. I mean, I doubt if anyone really knows what career they want to have when they first go to college. You have years to figure that out.
