Robbie:I am hungry. Thanks, Dad. What time is it, anyway?
Philip:[He looks at his watch.] Ten o'clock. What are you working on?
Robbie:I'm writing a story for the high-school paper.
Philip:Can't you finish it tomorrow?
Robbie:No, I have to turn it in in the morning.
Philip:What's it about?
Robbie:I'm writing an article on the feelings about graduation.
Philip:And . . . how do you feel?
Robbie:Me? A little scared and excited, too.
Philip:I felt the same way.
Robbie:The scary part's leaving home and moving to college.
Philip:Oh, leaving home is part of growing up. Well, don't work all night.
Robbie:I don't mind.I enjoy writing.
Philip:Well, maybe you should think about becoming a writer.
Robbie:Maybe I should.
Philip:You have lots of time to decide.
Robbie:That's the worst part----making decisions.
Philip:You'll be OK.Good night, Son.
Robbie:Good night, Dad.
The next morning. Robbie is eating breakfast in the kitchen. Grandpa and Philip enter. They are singing the University of Michigan song.
Grandpa &Philip:“Hail to the victors valiant, Hail to the conquering heroes, Hail, Hail to Michigan, the champions of the West!”
Philip:Ah, good morning, Robbie.
Robbie:Good morning, Dad.
Grandpa:How's my grandson?
Robbie:Fine, Grandpa. Fine! What's all the cheering about? Did the University of Michigan win another football game?
Grandpa:Better than that. Tell him, Philip.
Philip:I just spoke with Charley Rafer.
Robbie:Who's Charley Rafer?
Philip:He's the Dean of Admissions for the University of Michigan.
Grandpa:And it turns out he's a classmate of Philip's.
Philip:We were both on the tennis team.
Robbie:Great!
Philip:It is great. He's going to be in New York to morrow to interview applicants for admission.
Grandpa:And he's agreed to fit you into his schedule.
Robbie:But I may not want to go to Michigan.
Philip:It's one of the best schools in the country, Robbie. I studied medicine there. Your grand father went to the Engineering School there.
Robbie:I know that, but . . .
Grandpa:You said you wanted to be a doctor like your father.
Robbie:Not exactly.
Grandpa:You couldn't pick a finer medical school than Michigan.
Robbie:Yes, I know that.
Philip:Let's meet with Charley at the university club. Ten o'clock tomorrow morning. It doesn't mean you're going to Michigan.
Grandpa:It doesn't mean you have to be a doctor. But the interview will be good experience for you.
Robbie:In that case,it's OK. [to Philip] Dad, growing up means making my own decisions, doesn't it?
Philip:You're right, Robbie. But, like your Grandpa suggested,have the interview.
Grandpa:And then make your own decision.
Robbie:That sounds fine.
Philip:I know it's sudden, Robbie, but this is an important opportunity. We'll head down there first thing tomorrow morning. OK?
Robbie:Sure, Dad.
Philip:I want you to know something,Son. I'm very proud of you.
Robbie:Thanks, Dad.
Philip:Well, I've got an appointment at the hospital. I'll see you all at dinner time.
Robbie:Bye, Dad.
[Philip leaves.]
Grandpa:Is something still wrong,Robbie?
Robbie:I'll be OK.
Grandpa:Going away to college for the first time always makes one a little nervous.
Robbie:I guess so.I'll be OK. I just need time to think.
