The American University of Science
My father, always the responsible one, had other matters on his mind. He was concerned about the authenticity of the university and wanted to ensure that everything was in order before I committed to studying there. With a determined look on his face, my father and I made our way to the office of the university president. After a brief wait, we were ushered into his office. My father wasted no time and dove straight into his concerns. "I am here today because I have some questions regarding the accreditation and degrees offered by this university," my father began. The president's smile faltered slightly, but he quickly composed himself. "Of course, I understand your concerns. Our university is fully accredited, and our degrees hold value in the job market." My father nodded, seemingly satisfied with the response. "I appreciate that, but I would like to see some tangible proof. Can you show us the official accreditation documents and clarify the academic affiliations?" The president 's demeanor shifted subtly, and I could sense a hint of unease. "Well, you see, the accreditation process is ongoing, and we are in the final stages of securing the necessary documentation. As for academic affiliations, we have collaborations with various renowned institutions." My father's expression turned stern. "I understand that these processes can take time, but I believe it's essential to have a clear understanding before my child enrolls here." The president's response was evasive, and my father's concern grew. After a few more minutes of back-and-forth, my father came to a decision that took me by surprise. He turned to me and said, "We will not be proceeding with your admission to this university. It's important to have transparency and credibility, and I don't feel confident about the responses we've received today". We thanked the president for his time and left the university campus. During the drive back home, my father explained his decision to me. He emphasized the importance of choosing an institution with a solid reputation and verifiable credentials. While it was a tough choice, I realized that my father's concern for my education was unwavering.
