Since i was little i have always dreamed of going to college. My parents have always pushed me to do good in school so i can go to a good college. When i was a senior i fond out what school i would be going to and had everything already planned out to my college graduation. I started SIUC last fall and then transfered to SWIC because i did not like SIUC and that was ok with me because i dont mind switching because i want to spend four years at a school i like. I was planning on attending SEMO next fall but now have another offer on the table. My step dad works in the coal mine buisness and is always looking for new opportunities so the other day him and my mom came into my room and sat down and said that my stepdad ,Mike, found a good job for the new power plants coal mine in Livly Grove and that if i droped out of college now i could get a good job and make more money than i could going into criminal justice that I am currently in. He said the benifits where good and that it is a dependable job and that he pulled some strings and i could have a interview if i wanted. This was a total shock to me since they have always been so tough on me about college and now they are telling me to drop out and go into the work force at 19 and be in the same job for the rest of my life. I still dont know what I will do but this is one of the most stressfull and important decision of my life.
