Reginald has, after much thought and with a high level of family support, decided to enroll in college. It has been a dream in the making, as he was unable to attend immediately after high school graduation. Instead, he worked several years in his family’s business, got married, had a son, and then decided that he didn’t want to spend the rest of his life regretting that he didn’t get a chance to follow his dreams of becoming a teacher. Because it has been almost a decade since he sat in a classroom, he is worried about how he will fit in as an adult learner returning to college. Will his classmates think he is too old? Will his professors think he is not ready for the challenges of college work? Will his family get tired of his long nights at the library and his new priorities? There is so much Reginald is unsure of, yet he knows it’s a step in the right direction.
It has been only three months since Madison graduated from high school. She graduated in the top 10 percent of her class, and she earned college credit while in high school. She feels academically prepared, and she has a good sense of what degree she wants to earn. Since Madison was 5 years old, she’s wanted to be an engineer because she loved building things in the backyard with her father’s tools. He always encouraged her to follow her dreams, and her whole family has been supportive of her hobbies and interests. However, Madison is concerned that her choice of major will keep her from dance, creative writing, and other passions. Furthermore, Madison is heading to a distant college with no other people she knows. Will she be able to find new friends quickly? Will her engineering classes crush her or motivate her to complete college? Will she be able to explore other interests? Madison has a lot on her mind, but she aims to face these challenges head-on.
Daniel is 25 years old and on the verge of beginning law school, having secured a full scholarship at a lower-ranked institution. Although he once considered becoming a lawyer—motivated by both personal interest and his father’s expectations—his enthusiasm has gradually declined, especially as he developed a strong interest in music and the entertainment industry. While he has considered specializing in entertainment law, he is unsure whether the profession truly suits his personality, as he does not see himself as particularly argumentative or drawn to conflict. He is also concerned about the demanding nature of law school, which he understands to involve extensive reading, case analysis, and high-pressure classroom participation, all of which may challenge his ability to stay focused and motivated. At the same time, Daniel worries that pursuing law may simply be a default choice, driven by uncertainty and the desire for financial stability rather than genuine passion.
