Just like he had planned, he showed her all the tourist attractions and the places he had come to know so well in the past couple of years, but they couldn’t do much more because he simply couldn’t afford it. His parents had been paying his tuition fees for the past couple of years, and he had used his savings to buy food and basic things. But his savings were almost depleted, and he knew he would need to find a job sooner or later if he didn’t want to be forced to leave. He didn’t want to ask his parents to pay for all the extras too, since the tuition fees at Berklee were high enough, but luckily his grades had won him a scholarship for the upcoming semester, and this would give them some relief. Even so, he didn’t want to be a bigger burden than was necessary on his parents’ shoulders, so he had decided he’d look for a job that would at least pay enough to buy food. Once all the sightseeing was over, he decided to speak to his mentor at Berklee, asking him for advice on how to find a job using the skills he had.
