Campus Life Problem: Communicating Supportively Situation. Jill entered the University as a pre -med major a year ago. Because her father and grandfather had both been doctors, it was presumed that Jill would “follow in their footsteps.” While in her introductory pre -med courses, Jill was bored and uninterested. During lectures, she read curren t political commentaries instead of taking lecture notes. During the evenings, she became quite active in student political organizations. As a result, Jill avoided completing her pre -med assignments. Today, Jill is on the verge of being expelled for not m eeting the university’s pre -med academic requirements. Jill’s realization that her poor performance is a result of her dislike of the study of medicine has forced her to explain to her parents that she wants to study political science.

That’s why we want you to be a doctor.” Mom: “Why didn’t you talk to us before? This is the first time we’ve heard of this.” Jill: “Every time I tried to tell you I was afraid of your reaction. Now I see that I was right.” Dad: “Well, fine, you seem to know all about life. You d on’t appreciate that your parents are willing to give up certain luxuries to finance your education.” Mom: “We’ve made so many sacrifices and all we ask is that you give us respect in return.” Jill: “I do respect you. But I have to lead my life, not your s!”
