Choosing My Path in a World of Expectations
I recently graduated high school. It is almost weird to say, because it's a whole new feeling; this is the time when you get to take your future in your own hands. You no longer have to take required courses; you can decide what you want for yourself, begin to create your own path to what you hope will be a successful future. As a young person, this time of your life can be terribly exciting. Here you are, with such a wide expanse of choices before you, ready to start the next part of your journey into adulthood. However, it doesn't always feel like you have boundless opportunities. Even the best of us, the kids who knew what they wanted to do since childhood, get caught up in the danger of expectations.
