[originaltext]M: It’s so great to finally meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you.

M: It’s so great to finally meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you. Bob tells me you’re majoring in social work.
W: Yeah, and what is it that you’re studying exactly?
M: I’m studying law. I’m going to specialize in immigration law.
W: That must be so fascinating.
M: It really is. One of the best things is that I get to make so many important contacts. Just a couple of weeks ago I met with a group of immigration lawyers in Washington. They were hearing about the latest proposition. Have you ever been to Washington? W: Well, as a matter of fact, I was there for a couple of days last summer. I attended meetings on the social welfare program.
M: The social welfare program, yes, one of my professors is recommending that I write a paper on those changes since it’s so closely connected to immigration. He thinks I have a very good understanding of the program.
W: That’s wonderful. I think it’s so important to be encouraged by your professors. My professors have also been very supportive of my work. One of them is helping me to apply for a scholarship to graduate school.
M: Oh, you’re actually applying to graduate school? I guess you must be very motivated. I’ve just got accepted to law school with a full scholarship. Once I get through that, I’ll be on the road to success. That should show them I’ve made it.
W: I don’t really look at it that way.  I just want to have enough to provide for the things I care about.
M: Not for me. I think the best part of success is having other people know you’re successful.
