When you were younger everyone asked you what you wanted to be when you grow up. For most kids their answers were "Doctors, Astronauts, Firefighters, etc." things that the people asking knew they would never become. But they just let them live the dream for awhile. Then later on in life they get asked the same question once they were older. The responses then were "I don't know." "How am I supposed to know?" How do they except a reasonable answer when we aren't being taught the things we need to know in order for us to make decisions that could affect us for the rest of our lives? In order for us to grow up we need to find our own paths and go down our own journey's. We have to make mistakes and learn from them. That is what growing up means. Taking chances, making memories, and going after the things you believe in.
