Choices--after what's going on, I think I just want to talk about them now or something to that effect.
Seriously, though, these choice things...we've all got them, we all just don't use them.
So, you could take a person who's got very "my kid has no say in his/her future" kind of parents. The dad is a sports fanatic, particularly lacrosse. He wants his son to take part in it in high school & onward to college and what not.
Thing is though, this son has no interest in lacrosse whatsoever. He enjoys football a lot. When it comes time to ask him to sign the papers, his dad has a fit and punishes the son for following through his desires--exercising the choice to go with his heart, not with what his dad says.
Or, how about this?
Take the same dad, and the same son---just add a daughter, she wants to be a middle school science teacher, the mother wants for her to study law, so she arranges all of her classes. September comes, and this girl is pissed, so she goes to her Guidance counselor, complaining about her classes. She's got a choice--to stick with the schedule her mom planned out, riddled with classes she would never take [save for the ones she needs to take], or to try and change this schedule and get somethings that she will enjoy doing.
Now, the kids don't plot the parents murder, but, do you see where I am getting with this? Naïvety or not, everyone has a choice--to make or receive a call, to keep or change a schedule, or to just simply follow your heart--the possibilities are endless.
