I remember back in the mid-eighties when I was a teen-eager, I worked at this pizza joint in Texas. One of my co-workers who lived in a nearby town was driving in to work for the afternoon shift day one day and on his way he picked up a gentlemen hitchhiker who's semi had broken down. My friend picked him up and I remember sitting and talking with this guy. He was old, probably thirty (LOL), at my age then, thirty was old. Anyway, he asked me what I wanted to do in my life and I responded by telling him that I wanted to go to college for a business degree. He asked what my father did for a living and I told him that my old man was in retail. The guy responded, "Is that what your dad wants you to do is go to college for a business degree?". I said ,"yes". "You don"t have to do everything your parents want you to do." It was the first time anybody ever told me that I didn't have to do what my parent's wished. My dream was to be a musician and a writer. I became that by the way, with a career in Alcohol and Drug Counseling to fall back on, thank God. It is funny when we are teen-angers, it seems sometimes we do what others, especially parent want us to do in life. In General children should follow their parents advice, but kids should also be allowed to think on their own. -----Kelly
