Ep. 139 | A Change Of Heart

Case Study: Kina claims she wants to major in Computer Science. 15 minutes into our session, she's having second thoughts. Find out why.

Show Notes:

In this episode, I reflect on a recent conversation I had with a rising senior PrepWeller (Kina). What started off as a brainstorming session for her college essay, took an unexpected turn. As I dug into her background, likes/dislikes, and aspirations, we came to the conclusion that Computer Science may not be the path for her. This came as a surprise, as she has always thought of herself as a Computer Science person. What was her true calling? How did she handle this tension? What was her new major preference?
