THE RIGHT PATH FOR ME

BY KEVIN HENNEBERGER

A few years ago , I didn't know where my life was headed. I'd just begun college, and I had a growing feeling of uncertainty about the future, which turned into a fear of the future. I didn't know which major to choose or which friends to hang out with, and I found being a college student was more of a struggle than I'd ever imagined.

There were a couple of things I knew I was good at—running a bowling league and heading up the Christian Science organization, or CSO, on my campus. But I really considered these activities more like hobbies that supplemented my academics. Because of my fear, I felt overwhelmed and unprepared to make big decisions.

Gradually I stopped studying and began drinking with friends, partying, and getting involved in shallow relationships with women.
