text: First, asking for multiple opinions could open your eyes to more possibilities. I got the opportunity to get a scholarship to James Madison University. The problem was I wanted to be a pediatric oncologist and they do not have that at JMU. I was not going to go, but I was convinced to take the scholarship. At first I did not ask for any advice. My whole family wanted me to go. Although they did not help me decide, they said they would support the decision I made. My teacher said getting a full scholarship was once in a lifetime. I still had five years until college, so I had time to change my mind about my future career. She sat down with me and explained everything the JMU program did. She said they help get scholarships to other schools. The program was five years long. After that I would get to go to college. She showed me more options, that I never even knew about. If I did not ask her I would never be where I am today.
