Danielle Benedict: Own Topic (3)
Fleetwood Mac articulately explains that “you can go
your own way.” How do we determine our life direction? We can go with what is automatic
and comfortable or push ourselves towards something novel. Many people choose
to follow tradition and obey their parent’s advice. Just because your family
wants you to go to law school does not mean you are required to. Let’s be
honest, this is an easy way out of searching for your own plan. There is little
risk since you are aware that it works as seen by your family and friend’s
examples. If you genuinely love your family of origin’s lifestyle, then stay. Some
people find reassurance in that established community and want to remain close
to what they know. I would argue if you have reservations then to explore other
options first before committing to your current lifestyle. We also have the
choice to forge own path whether that means relocating to another state or chasing
after a job you love but other do not support. If you do this, then you can
confidently say that you were the master of your own fate. Why not pick
a passion or interest and make it your life? These is potential to form new
community and friendships. there is huge risk in this plan, do
not get me wrong. If things go awry, you are the one responsible. So when you
are on your death bed which will you say: did life happen to you or did you
make your life?
