As parents, how would you advise your son? Follow his dream at UNC in which he doesn’t see himself? or go for GW, the school he liked best. By they way, he was also accepted into NYU and BU, but in order to do screenwriting you need to major in Film, which he doesn’t want to do.Any advice?"</p>
<p>Response: I believe that people can achieve what they perceive IF they try hard enough! My attitude, especially for those that have a lot of time on their side, is to follow their passion and shoot for their dreams. Studying screenwriting is just as good, in my opinion, as majoring in English. If it doesn’t work out, they can always trying something else or obtain a masters in another area. I hate thinking about alternatives because I have found that folks who “plan to fail” usually achieve their plan.</p>
