Be Like Captain Kirk


My son, Vic, and I saw Star Trek: Into Darkness the other night and he commented that the theme of making decisions and constantly re-examining them was the centerpiece of the film. At what point do you decide for yourself and how much should you take into account other opinions? What if you pick a contrarian option? How wholeheartedly should you embrace your choice and move forward with certainty?

Kirk and Spock each made some flawed choices in the film, but they played them out with gusto rather than timidity. So if you are a senior who has sent in your deposit and are starting to have those nagging, "what-if-I-had-chosen-one-of-my-other-options" moments, please let it go. Move towards your college with full commitment. Boldly go where you have never gone before and make the most of your adventure!
