As a student, th‘ere .are 1001 things to do and con- sider. Rather than be too committed, there is always MAYBE. This way you aren’t saying “Yes”, but you aren't saying “No”, either. You’re considering possibi- lities. Then if you participate; okay, and if you don’t; okay. This is fine unless you be- come known as a MAYBE person. When you do this, you are effectively letting others control you.
You have already made a CHOICE — you are at UPEI in a particular program. Reality means that you choose one route and reject the others — AFTER you have considered the options. You cannot however, remain constantly in a state of flux or indecision. There comes a time when you must make a choice or others will make it for __you. You can’t always be a MAYBE — you can’t be everything at the same time.
One of the things you might be considering is your future career path: MAYBE. You may be wondering about jobs and how best to get one: MAYBE. You might be thinking about the approaches to take: MAYBE. You may be able to spare an hour from your busy schedule: MAYBE. More information might be useful to me: MAYBE. So I might consider finding out: MAYBE. "
To help you in making the decision the following is a listing of the various sessions
