    1. When I am 81 years old, I will still be teaching and directing choirs because I LOVE doing those things.
    2. I believe that people have a right to do what is right and best for them no matter what anyone else thinks about it; it is important for all of us to listen to wise, caring people in our lives and to consider advice carefully; ultimately, the decision we make for our lives belongs to us.
    3. If I knew I had 4 more years of school at this point in my life, I would wonder first how I would pay for it, and I would want to make sure that I would have a healthy balance between school/work/personal life.
    4. My biggest fear about the college decision is one day finding out that I was so much more capable of surviving failure than I believed I was.
    5. My biggest motivation for going to college is to become everything I am capable of becoming.

    1. What will your life be like when you are 37 years old?

    I hope to be able to have my own company based on what I am thinking of studying, as well as already having my house built, visiting new places

    2. Some people decide to go to college just because others expect them to. What do you think about that?

    I think that everyone can decide what they want to do for most of their life, they can decide not to study a career as such and still have their own life plan.


    3. How would you feel if you knew you had 4 more years (or more) of school after graduating from high school?

    I would expect to be studying something that I like in you


    4. What is your biggest fear about the college decision?
    It would be choosing a career that at this precise moment I like but that as soon as I start studying it I realize that it is probably not what I want and regret choosing that career


    5. What is your biggest motivation for going or not going to college?

    to be able to do what I like and thus be able to move forward

  4. 1. When I'm 36 years old, I may be working on some personal projects. I will be developing something of my own, not sure already what it will be but I will make sure its well done.
    2. I think it's not ok that people tells you what to do. I personally think having a college dergree (depending on which one it is) may be really worth it for your future, but also you shgould have the right of choicing wheter if you want a degree or not.
    3. Well, that's basically a nutshell of what college is, and honestly, I already have set that concept on my mind. When I think of it sometimes makes me lazy, but I'm sure it will be worth it. If it wasn't for college tho, I would honestly kinda get really mad.
    4. Being unsure if the desicion I'm taking is the best one or not, because I really want to avoid changing of idea midyear, because I think it would be time, effort and money wasted and a failure.
    5. My biggest motivation is the fact that having a degree usually increases your chance of being accepted in the jobs you want to enter. Also because it is easier to know what to do in your job if you studied specifically for it.

    Well, it doesn't bother me so much because I know I'm going to study something I like

    1. To be honest, for now, there's nothing I can define for the future.

    2. I believe it's a decision that each person has within themselves, and over time, he or she will discover it. We shouldn't follow what others do but make decisions based on our own goals and future.

    3. There wouldn't be a change because, to be honest, in a certain way, there comes a moment when you enjoy it. Sometimes, what matters more is the experience you can gain in those new opportunities. Additionally, you expose yourself to new environments, meet new friends or professors.

    4. Something that worries me a lot is choosing the wrong career and not studying what I really desire, which could affect my entire life.

    5. Thinking about the future.

  9. 1. I will probably be a mom and working on whatever I'm passionate about

    2. I feel that those people are probably insecure about themselves, and just do what there told, and it’s going to end their happiness , which I think life is about your happiness and not everybody else

    3. Happy cause I'll be studing what I like but also kind of nervious about how harsh or difficult is going to be

    4. Being unhappy or just not feeling useful or worth it

    5. I think I will probably not go to college yet , which is kind of exciting to take a break from school and learn from experiences like traveling

    1. It'd be peacefull, hopefull and full of life
    2. It's rude not to ask about others and their ambition, I think that it's dumb to expect things from other people's lives, it's not like you're going to live it, i get that you want the best life for them, but the best thing we can do is to support their decision.
    3. i think i would like to take a little break, not to know what ill want but to rest and mentally prepare for what is coming.
    4. that I'm not good enough, not getting in, that all the effort was for nothing, that im average or below average
    5. my biggest motivation for going is to keep learning, to achieve better and bigger things for my family and me. that the things that i learn will be useful in the future, whether i help people directly or indirectly

  11. 1. What will your life be like when you are 37 years old?
    I'm not sure

    2. Some people decide to go to college just because others expect them to. What do you think about that?
    I think that is incorrect the fact that other people decide your future and the things you gonna do, i think that social influence is a weight and a pressure, is your future, you have to decide what you are going to do, what things will make you feel happy.

    3. How would you feel if you knew you had 4 more years (or more) of school after graduating from high school?
    stressed, and nervous, because that 4 years will defined my future

    4. What is your biggest fear about the college decision?
    Failed in my career, make a bad decision choosing my career


    5. What is your biggest motivation for going or not going to college?
    My family, especially my grandma, also the person that i want to be
