I really want to live in a city like New York as soon as I am stable and able to stand on my own two feet. For college, my mom really wants me to go to Chicago because Chicago is comprised of colleges that have great performing art programs. It is explicit in the brochures what exactly each college offers for the arts. Chicago is definitely one of those places that offers stately opportunities for deft singers, dancers, artists, and actors. I have definitely considered Chicago because it is a great place and would really open doors for me. My sister also lives in Chicago so I would have someone to be with. My dad however, doesn't approve. I am my fathers only child so he is very protective of me and doesn't want me to leave fresh out of high school. He wants all of my decisions to be premeditated and really wants me to think about decisions before I make them. He understands that Chicago is a great city, but he thinks about the stinky and musty places where crime runs rampant in the streets daily. He sees the ominous behavior. I see where both of my parents are coming from. My mom wants me to go Chicago because she doesn't feel that Ohio will allow me to reach the pinnacle of success, whereas my dad wants to suppress the whole idea of  going to Chicago right away. At the end of the day, it really comes down to my decision.. Why can't my parents just agree on something?? I am an indecisive person and I hate choosing sides!
