Even after 19 years of knowing someone, they can still surprise you...
"Joe,
We’re thinking of you. How are you doing since you’ve had a few days to process this in your mind? Any idea yet what you will do?
I’m wondering some things;
- Is there a way to file an appeal or request different judges?
- Is there another major within the school of music that you can transfer to?
- How much of your credits can be applied/transferred to a non-music major?
Mom’s first reaction was to have you come right home and go to BCC. I don’t think that’s the answer for any of us. Not that it’s not an option (it is) but probably not the best one. You should appointments with a guidance counselor AND whoever runs the school of music. You need to find out what all your options are.
By the way, there’s no hurry. You have your whole life ahead of you. But just the same, you don’t want to waste any time either. We think the best thing is to stay in school at FSU at least for the next semester and take requisite classes that can be applied towards an associates or bachelors. Then you can take your time and decide a new major over the next semester/summer.
You’re very smart and talented. I know it may feel like your dream is over, but it’s not. This is just a bump in the road such as does to all of us. You’ll work it out and get past it. One day this will all just be a memory, a “snap of the fingers” in time. It will have been a life-altering snap, but not necessarily in a bad way. Pray about it, as we are praying for you.
Please write back. I care about you and want you to share this with me. We will do whatever we can to help you.
Love,
Dad"
I don't even know what to say...
