B. To persuade students to live life for a while before going to college
Which phrase best describes the purpose of this passage?
I didn't go to college straight out of high school. I just wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I spent a couple of years working low-paying jobs, did a little traveling around the country, and spent a summer cleaning stables at a ranch in Montana. After about three years, I knew I wanted more of a future than I could get from this lifestyle. Finally, I was ready to put the work in to succeed in college. I graduated with honors. But I'll never regret those three years. They helped me find the direction I have today.
