My father was a man of few words. Whenever I wanted his permission for a certain activity, I planned a speech that included who would be there, where it would take place, how long it would last, and why it was an incredibly wonderful opportunity for me. He wouldlisten and then say either ―Yes‖ or ―No.‖ There were never any qualifiers; not ―Yes, but be home by dinner‖ or ―No, unless you can convince me otherwise.‖ It was yes or no, plain and simple.My fath er’s phone messages were also lessons in patience and long-suffering to a teenage girl.I was quite active in high school. Not only did I enjoy being involved in many areas, but I cameinto contact with many a great teenage guy. I can recall one busy day when I had met two great guys and had given each of them my phone number. The first words out of my mouth when I walked through the front door were, ―Dad! Did anyone call?‖ His answer, of course, was simply, ―Yes.‖ I required for a more accurate description of the caller. His answer: ―A boy.‖ Since I had met two guys that day, this did not help me. I ran to my room in tears.Knowing my dad’s dislike of language in general and his fondness for briefness, it surprised me to hear that he was going to teach the eleven-year-old boys’ Sunday school class. He did so for not one, but many years. I always wondered if he actually said anything, or if they all just sat in their chairs and stared at each other. I was sure that if people were waiting on my father to break the ice with brilliant conversation or a springboard comment, they’d be badly disappointed.

Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?Relax. You’re making the right decision. First of all, you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects. For example, it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures; once you’re in a drawing-room on campus, you’ll know one way or the other. College is also a lot of fun —a fter you graduate, you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years. And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attended college.Finding the right college can be difficult. Fortunately, Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.* Researching Schools. To us, the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best — not the one that is the most competitive or has the best-equipped rooms.* Applying to School. On J , you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications (申请) and links to many more.* Raising Your Scores. American College Test is one of the most important parts of the admissions (录取) course. It’s not the most important, though, and not everyone needs to preparefor the best. But, if you think you can do better, find the right course for better scores.* Paying for School. Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college. The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid. If you really do your research, you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college, no matter the cost.For more information, call 600-3681 or visit Johnson .
