Skit: A Difficult Choice

Scene: Classroom after school

Teacher:	Aarav, have you decided which subject stream you want to choose next year?
Aarav:	Not yet, ma’am. I am interested in science, but I also enjoy drawing and computers.
Riya:	You should choose Science. It has many career options.
Sameer:	I think you should choose the stream you enjoy most. You will perform better if you are interested in it.
Mother:	We want you to choose a stream that will give you good opportunities in the future.
Father:	But the final decision should be yours. Think about your interests, abilities and future goals.
Aarav:	I have two options: Science or a stream related to computers and design. I need to consider both carefully.
Teacher:	Make a list of your strengths and think about what you really want. Don't make a decision only because others expect it.
Aarav:	I have decided to choose the computer and design-related stream because it matches my interests and abilities.
Riya:	That sounds like a good decision. You should be confident about it.
Sameer:	And if you work hard, you can build a successful career in this field.
Mother:	We support your decision.
Father:	Remember, every choice has consequences. Be ready to work hard and accept the results.
Aarav:	Thank you, everyone. I feel confident about my decision now.
