Prompt 2

What does the following quote mean to you?  "You don’t get to pick where you’re from, but you always have control of where you’re going."

This quote is something that can either take you very far in life or lead you down the wrong path. Choosing where you are from, is like choosing what color your hair is before your born. It doesn't happen very often and you can't just change the past with the snap of two fingers. I believe that where you are from is out of your control from the beginning. Your parents decide what kind of a life you have as an infant, and what happens around you. They either show you the road you want to go down or don't want to go down. It is your decision weather you pick the bad or good way. Controlling your future also depends on weather you are a follower or a leader. Followers, follow their friends down the road to a disastrous life and the life no one wants them to be in. You could also go down the future of terror from following your parents, if your parents are bad your more likely to go down the same road. I believe you get out of your life what you put into it. If you try all the time and do your best you are more likely to have a bright future. You can also just not give a crap and those are the people that fail at life and don't have a good life.
