People close toyou can give you goodadvice, give you a different perspective, orshare their ownexperience.When I had difficulty deciding whichclasses to take incollege, I talked to my teachers and advisors.They had theknowledge and expertise to help me determine whichclasses were thebest ones to take for my future career. Withouttheir advice, Imight have chosen unsuitable courses.In college, Ihad convincedmyself that I was not good enough to act in the schoolplay.Therefore, I decided not to audition even though drama hadalwaysbeen my passion. The day of the auditions, a friend of mineaskedme why I wasnt auditioning.When I told her I didnt feel Iwasgood enough, she was shocked.
