This game is the story of our high school lives. You make decisions just like you would in real life and each decision has consequences. When you finish the game you will be scored on the decisions you made and be told your future career. There are many destinies possible and each decision will lead you to a different destination. There are no right answers, a decision that appears right may be wrong and a decision that appears wrong may be right. You'll learn by experience that each choice you face in life has major repercussions.

The door is huge, the hallway enormous. Its your first time visiting your new high school and everything feels big. Your friends have all had their student counselor meetings before you. You know what classes they are taking and have a pretty good idea what you want to take. But, you still have to go to this meeting. That's the trouble with having a name that begins with W, you're always the last one to do everything.

You plunk down in the chair and the counselor begins talking. She begins with the usual, very dull, "Welcome to high school, I know you'll have the time of your life." speech, and then plunges into describing everything you'll be doing for the next four years of your life. 

Just as the speech seems to be over she pulls out of sheet of paper and slides it across her desk. At the top the title reads, "Four-year plan." "Hmm?," you ask. She explains, "A four-year plan is an outline of the courses you would like to take while you are in high school. Having a plan will help you make sure you get all of your graduation requirements fulfilled so you don't have to go to summer school. It will also help you plan your work so you can take courses that will help you get into college."

Then she hands you a course catalog of all of the available courses that you can take. "The decisions are yours. You can take what you want. But keep those pre-requisites in mind please."

You take both the four-year plan and a list of graduation requirements home. As you sit at your desk you're faced with a decision:

Should you schedule your course load so you have at least one friend in each class.

Make sure all of your classes apply towards graduation.
