Social Understanding!

Wow, so I just had a talk with some girl, family friends daughter, who is in grade 12 & wanted to discuss what she's applying for in University

She's indian, & as such going to university is NOT optional.

She wants to study pyschology, & my dad was all like, where are you going to take that, & starts talking about marriage & stuff like that

But I say, is it what you are interested in? Do you do well in it? Then go for it! I complimented her on researching about where she would study it & started talking about how different university life is (she was getting a little nervous about not having gotten an acceptance letter yet) so I start talking about different clubs on campus, & she means a religious students association, & i'm like that's good but I like being involved in something that has a bunch of different cultures in it.

She asked if I was in any clubs on campus (KEYWORDS: SHE ASKED!) & so I get into the whole AIESEC pitch!

So by the end of it, & based on my recommendation, she is switching OUT of international business & INTO some pyschology course for this semester & then going into pyschology

As traditional as I am, as similar as my dad & I are, there are sometimes where I surprise myself!
