Mr Rose: And you hope to enter our university next fall ? Bob: Yes, sir, if I can make it.
Mr Rose: Fine, Bob. I notice that you finished high school ayear ago. Why didn't you enter college that year ?

Mr Rose: By the way, what did your guidance counselor tell you ?
Bob: 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.
