That's right, Sir.

And you hope to enter our university next fall?

Yes, sir, if I can make it.

Fine, Bob. I notice that you finished high school a year ago.

Why didn't you enter a college that year?

Well, I have a sister in college now.

And there's another one who will be going next year.

So I had to earn a little money to help pay my way.

Good, it sounds as if you are pretty responsible fellow.

I see that you attended two grade schools.

Yes, Sir. My first six years I went to a public school in my hometown.

Then I went to an military school for two years.

And came back your hometown for your high school.

That's right, Sir.

I see. I don't find a transcript among your papers.

Do you have one?

I'm not sure I know what that is.

Oh, That's a list of your grades.

Oh, yes. That's in the mail now.

Oh, right. How were your grades?

Well, pretty good until my second year in the high school.

Then I guess I got a little too interested in sports.

But I know I'll work hard in college.

What do you want to major in?

I want to major in biology.

That was my best subject in high school.

I'm really interested in it.

That sounds fine, Bob.

Have you discussed this with your teachers and your parents?

Oh, sure. My science teacher thinks that's just what I ought to go into and my parents say I should make my own choice.

Did you have some math and other science courses in high school?

Everything they offered.

And I did some extra work for my teacher,too.

Well, Bob, You should get along all right here.

But it's hard to keep up with both sports and studies.

Yes, sir, I know.

Fine, I'll hold your application until we get the transcript.

When we've seen it, we'll let you know, probably in about two weeks.

Thank you very much, sir.

By the way, what did your guidance counselor tell you?

He told me I had a real knack for scientific things.

I know I do, too.

I've been fascinated with science since I was a child.

And interest of that kind of really signifies something.

Well, good luck, Bob.

Thank you, sir, goodbye.
