Something that changed life?
When I was a senior in high school, my guidance counselor had people from local colleges and universities coming in to talk to all up-coming graduates about how going to their school is the best choice for your future. I never thought about what kind of career path I wanted to take. One day, my guidance counselor called me to her office to ask if I wanted to go to see a person from Devry College of Technology. She told me she thought I would do well in the technology field. I met, later that week, with Steve Cohan, an Admissions Representative for Devry, to discuss the benefits of going to that school. He made Devry look like a great school by telling me all good things about it. I told him I was interested in signing up, but I would like to discuss it with my family before I make a decision. My sister graduated from Berkley College, and my mother would always tell me to go there it is a good school. I did not want to go to the same school my sister went to, so I told her that I was thinking of going to Devry. I told her about some of the things Cohan talked about when I saw him. She told me to make sure I ask him about financial aid and pricing before I start registration. When I when back to see Cohan, I asked him about the cost and how much financial aid I would get. He said he could give me an estimate, told me I would have to pay five hundred dollars a month for the first semester and three hundred and twenty-five a month thereafter.
