Have you ever seen someone who became a teacher just because every member of the family is teaching? Or how about a person who came from an unfortunate family and still ends up being poor? As they say, it's not your mistake if you are born poor; but if you die poor, then that is the choice you have made. In other words, our past may affect us heavily, especially in our growth, but that is not a valid reason to unaltered ourselves and still die with an identity of a yesterday. No matter how cruel and unfortunate your history, it's all in the past, and it does not define who you are today. You are who you are with the choices you have picked.

Indeed, life is filled with wanted and unwanted surprises, and they come from various forms. Nevertheless, we should not take this off in our mind that whatever we are going to do with that gift is already our choice, and whatever its consequences shall be faced with acceptance and courage. Taking responsibility for what we have become should be handled alone. And let no one take the blame for our choices. Our history, present, and future may be connected, but each other will never define one another.
