Live your life

The other day, my sister came home from uni buzzing after having a surreal experience in one of her performance lessons. She studies world music and loves it more as the weeks go by. She is incredibly talented and a totally dedicated student.

After our conversation I felt a slight tinge of sadness. I couldn’t help but think that my sister might be one of the last new university students that will follow the areas of study that they are most passionate about. With the potential increase of school fees to as much as £9000 at some of the UK’s top universities will students abandon their creative callings and choose instead more “sensible” and “straight-laced” subjects? If so, I'm afraid that in the next 20-30 years we may find ourselves living in a society full of black and white when we so desperately need splashes of colour.
