Excerpt
The road you choose is up to you.
Friends will try to persuade you. Well-meaning adults will give their advice. Family members will try to influence your decisions. But this is your life.
Where do you really want to go?
How are you
going to get there?
Decide on the destination and route that are right for you. They will ultimately turn you into the person you want to become.
