AlicetoCAT.avi Response

The problem with Alice is that she asks the cat for directions,but she also says that it does not matter where she goes and the cat responds by saying if it does not matter then why should I tell you where to go. The kind of path that I have set myself will be productive to me later on in life when I decide I want to go to college and get a job. Depending on the choices you make whether they are good or bad they will impact our path.

Without trying to sound to sappy I would say the most important thing to me is my family. I would say that my family would be at the top because even though you may not get along with or agree with everything your family says you can still learn somethings about the world through them and make your own decisions based on the experiences your family went through. Another thing about family is that they can give you a vision of how you want to see yourself in life based on the choices they made for example your mom did x,y,and z and now she is a world renowned brain surgeon do I want to follow in my family's footsteps or give myself a different ending for better or for worse.
