This paper really resonated with me because everything you wrote about describes the lives of many. You go to school, go to college, get a job, have a family... etc. At least that is what is expected of you. It is like the evolution of life. You start small and work your way up to becoming more advanced. Yet many times, people don't follow that exact model. I remember that when I was applying to college, my mom looked at me and asked, "do you even want to go to college?" At first this question really threw me off because college was the obvious option. However, my mom never completed college because it just wasn't for her. As a population we deem this path to be what is considered "socially acceptable" but I really like all the questions you pose about what happens if you don't fit on this path?
