Crustacean Mentality

Truly, each one of us is the "only one." My daughter once contemplated following her friends to chorus club. I asked her: what do you want? She chose to keep lugging around her saxaphone and played it all through H.S. part of the marching band. We must follow our path, not someone else's and she still follows her own path.
