Robbie: Who is it?
Dad: Dad.
Robbie: Come on in, Dad.
Dad: I thought you might be hungry. I brought you a chicken sandwich and a glass of milk.
Robbie: I am hungry. Thanks, Dad. What time is it, anyway?
Dad: Ten o''clock. What are you working on?
Robbie: I''m writing a story for the high-school paper.
Dad: Can''t you finish it tomorrow?
Robbie: No, I have to turn it in in the morning.
Dad: What''s it about?
Robbie: I''m writing an article on the feelings about graduation.
Dad: And . .. how do you feel?
Robbie: Me? A little scared. And excited, too.
Dad: I felt the same way. The scary part''s leaving home and moving to college.
Robbie: Oh, leaving home is part of growing up.
Dad: Well, don''t work all night.
Robbie: I don''t mind. I enjoy writing.
Dad: Well, maybe you should think about becoming a writer.
Robbie: Maybe I should.
Dad: You have lots of time to decide. That''s the worst part — making decisions. You''ll be OK. Good night, Son.
Robbie: Good night, Dad.
"Hail to the victors valiant, Hail to the conquering heroes, Hail, Hail to Michigan, Hail, Hail to Michigan, The champions of the West!"
Dad: Ah, good morning, Robbie.
Robbie: Good morning, Dad.
Grandpa: How''s my grandson?
Robbie: Fine, Grandpa. Fine!
Robbie: What''s all the cheering about? Did the University of Michigan win another football game?
Dad: Better than that.
Grandpa: Tell him, Philip.
Dad: I just spoke with Charley Rafer.
Robbie: Who''s Charley Rafer?
Grandpa: He''s the Dean of Admissions for the University of Michigan. And it turns out he''s a classmate of Philip''s.
Dad: We were both on the tennis team.
Robbie: Great!
Dad: It is great. He''s going to be in New York tomorrow to interview applicants for admission. And he''s agreed to fit you into his schedule.
Robbie: But I may not want to go to Michigan.
Dad: It''s one of the best schools in the country, Robbie. I studied medicine there. Your grandfather went to the Engineering School there.
Robbie: I know that, but…
Grandpa: You said you wanted to be a doctor like your father.
Robbie: Not exactly.
Grandpa: You couldn''t pick a finer medical school than Michigan.
Robbie: Yes, I know that.
Grandpa: Let''s meet with Charley at the university club. Ten o''clock tomorrow morning. It doesn''t mean you''re going to Michigan. It doesn''t mean you have to be a doctor. But the interview will be good experience for you.
Robbie: In that case, it''s OK. Dad, growing up means making my own decisions, doesn''t it?
Dad: You''re right, Robbie. But, like your Grandpa suggested, have the interview. And then make your own decision.
Robbie: That sounds fine.
Dad: I know it''s sudden, Robbie, but this is an important opportunity. We''ll head down there first thing tomorrow morning. OK?
Robbie: Sure, Dad.
Dad: I want you to know something, Son. I''m .. . very proud of you.
Robbie: Thanks, Dad.
Dad: Well, I''ve got an appointment at the hospital. I''ll see you all at dinnertime.
Robbie: Bye, Dad.
Grandpa: Is something still wrong, Robbie?
Robbie: I''ll be OK.
Grandpa: Going away to college for the first time always makes one a little nervous.
Robbie: I guess so. I''ll be OK. I just need time to think.
