Today I just met with my counselor Mr. Peacock for the first time. He was very welcoming and I could tell that he noticed how nervous I was. I am new to town and I don’t know many people or how this school works. I was worried to talk to my counselor and have him tell me my ideas didn’t fit in with this school or community. But as soon as we started to speak I realized he wouldn’t judge me, he was going to encourage me towards my dreams until the day I graduated from the university.
I told him about my interest in politics and social sciences and he gave me some much needed direction. He helped me to focus in on where I wanted to take my degree and what I wanted to accomplish while I was at the university. As soon as I got done I went over to the coffee shop where Romaine works. We are still getting to know each other but I didn’t have anyone else to talk about my great new motivation with. Luckily the shop was empty so she came over and talked with me. She didn’t share my same passion for politics or social science that I did but she understood my points and had an educated opinion about everything we discussed. I feel like with her I am completely comfortable and I hope that we can become closer. And I am going to try to get her hooked on politics as long as we are friends.
