Step two: get in line

Step three: get an education

Step four: be intelligent- but don't outshine the stars.

Step five: stay in the shadows- stay in your place.

Step six: be a good girl; do as you are told.

Step seven: make sure you are your own person.

Step eight: being your own person doesn't fit society's agenda.

Step nine: know the agenda of society.

Step ten: make sure you are hitting the milestones of your age.

Step eleven: get married and have children- doesn't matter if you don't want marriage or children.
