I just wanted to thank you so much; I love your website!

I know that the entire purpose of this article was to convince me to go to college. However, I KNOW that I won’t be happy doing anything else in life outside of film making and acting, directing, producing, etc. I KNOW it. I am, however, not your average, ditzy teenager. I’ll be a senior in high school next year and I’ve always been EXTREMELY bright and ahead of my time. I’ve always gotten straigh A’s, I’m taking 4 Advanced Placement (college level) courses next year (European History, Literature, Economics, Government) and this past year, I took AP French, AP Language and Composition, and AP U.S. History. I’ve done all the steps all my life to make myself incredibly appealing to many, many colleges. I have wonderful SAT scores, I have teachers who love me writing me wonderful reccomendation letters ABOUT how brilliant and gifted and mature and worldly and cultured I am. Ever since I was little I have read like crazy, written poetry, watched movies, and done all sorts of artsy things. All my life, until recently, I was going to college. But now, I see no point! If I go to college, I will be in 100s of thousands of dollars of debt! Never mind graduate school! With that on my shoulders, I’ll NEVER be able to make it in LA. I’ll be in the hole if I go to college. So I have to ask you: how did you pay for your standard, 4-year college education and THEN go to LA? You make it seem like it was free :( And this will certainly NOT be the case for me.

So I guess what I’m looking for is some individualized advice.

Thank you so much!
