Everyone expects you to follow behind your parents footsteps. To launch your own record deal, to dance, draw, or even to take over their five star restaurant. But what if you don't want to? Everybody has their own interests, their own dreams, and things they'd like to do for themselves and not for other people - even if it is for people that they care about. You don't have to follow behind their footsteps; you can be whoever you want to be. If your parents own a 5 star restaurant, who cares? You don't have to cook for a living, you can be a dancer! If your parents are famous actors, you can become a doctor! It isn't about following behind your parents, it is following behind your heart and to become what you want to.
Trouble is, things are easier said than done. Breaking through the tradition is much harder than you've thought. Whether you want to become a photographer or a professional athlete, you'll have to wait until you're old enough to legally make your own decisions. The delightful 18th year.
How will YOU break through the tradition and come to follow through to your hopes and dreams? Will you be willing to hurt some of the people you love to get through with it?
Eighteen years old; the legal age of adulthood. Now, you can make your own decisions. You can be whatever you want to be, and pursue whatever career you want to. Legally, this is true, but for your parents it may be different. Sure you can choose whatever college you want to, and specialize in whatever branch, but where will you get the money from? Even if you are rich, or even from a regular suburban family, all that money comes from your parents. You can never afford it, even with your summer job. You will have to convince your parents yourself, and show them just how much you want to become an artist, dancer, photographer, etc. And you'll go through all the ends of the Earth to show them just that.
