This is to all those girls too afraid to show their true colors and
say “ Hey, what about what I want, what I want to do” this is for you. Now I
know that somewhere out there, there are girls wanting to break out and do what
they want with their lives and not what someone else wants, and I happen to be
one of them.
In life
there are pressures, and girls I know you feel them a lot! Pressures from
school, family and life in general. Sometimes you just have to stop and do
something for yourself. For example, in my life now school is the issue, college
talk in general. My family wants one thing when I want another. From a 4 year
UC or CSU to a community college, some how my choice isn’t an option in there
eyes, some how my ambitions are stupid… That doesn’t seem fair to me.
For me its still an on going battle as to what I want but for other girls and
their predicaments they may have room to change. Where they can stand up and decide
what to do with their lives. So word to the wise, next time you think something in
your life isn’t the way you want it... Stand up and say, “ what about what I want?”
…
You never know things could change!
