Ack! All I hear about is college, college, college, and college. Everyone around me has developed a one-track mind, and they’re all focused on post-secondary school! What is a girl to do?
Well, what goes with college? PAYING for college! Well, I think I’m off to a good start, but that doesn’t make me any happier. I already have my tuition automatically paid for thanks to my grades and class rank. Whew! But then there are books, gas, housing, and all those other hidden costs. Hopefully I have that covered, too.
I’m trying to enter this other scholarship for $10,000 a year that my guidance counselor said I had a 90% chance of getting. OK, sounds good. But I need to get a science teacher to write a recommendation since it’s for Premed students. Pshh, this is a breeze! Mr. M—— was (overly?) happy to write it for me. I’d hope so, I aced every one of his AP Anatomy Physiology tests and 40% of that class fails every year. Problem is, he hasn’t finished it yet. He’s really busy and has it started, but that’s the only thing I’m waiting for. Almost every day he asked me when it’s due (March 31), and tells me to hound him about it every day.
How do I possibly bring myself to incessantly hound a teacher? ! Especially one of my favorites . . . Oh, well, it’s been four weeks. I’ll just walk by every day and silently hound him. I still might get that scholarship.
