the eight steps of decision-making and discuss how the mentee might
solve the problem.
Joseph is a hard working young man and an excellent student with high grades. He has worked
as a stock boy at a neighborhood grocery store since he was 14 years old and has saved almost
every paycheck he has earned at the store. Now that Joseph is 16, he wants to buy a car with his
savings. However, Joseph has a problem. He also wants to go to college and has only one more
year of high school to graduate with honors. Even though his parents are very proud of him, they
have told him that he will have to decide what to do with his money. Joseph’s parents have made
it very clear to him that he will not receive any financial support from them.
