icouldbe.org Convinced Aditya to Go to College

Aditya

"My name is Aditya and I am 17 years old. I have learned a lot from my mentors at icouldbe.org. Honestly, I was skeptical at first. You see, everything was all worked out in my mind. I already knew that I wanted to be a recording artist. The plan was to finish high school and then go directly into the entertainment business.

When I first signed onto icouldbe.org I didn't think that I would find anyone to talk to, but within a couple of weeks I was communicating with someone in the entertainment business. The more I invested into icouldbe.org the more I got out of it. I could hardly believe that there was someone in my field of interests willing to give me so much helpful information. The opportunity to talk to someone who is working in the entertainment business has given me a better idea of what it takes to be successful in it.

I always thought that music was all about being famous. Now I know that fame is not necessarily the measure for success. I learned that the music business becomes your life, not because of all the V.I.P parties, but because of the hard work. I've also learned that if I truly start to consider my life in the future as a recording artist, then I also need to consider my future options by attending college.

These are just a few of the things that I have learned through my conversations with my mentor on the icouldbe.org website. Speaking to adults and hearing their stories has allowed me to consider my future and how college fits into it. My mentor and I now speak about some of the universities I might be interested in. I see myself being less hopeful and more proactive. It's like got some of the directions on how to go down the road I have chosen. I feel I have gotten a lot out of icouldbe.org. Who knows, maybe ten years from now, I'll be a mentor for icouldbe.org!"
