The path less traveled
Senior year of high school had passed and the dewy eyes of a first generation city kid stared at the next four years as being the spring board to his entire future. Tuition, financial aid and student loans were new and scary concepts being introduced to this young adult. Soon he would have to make a decision to whether the expensive college or the local state schools would be his destination.
Regardless if the main character to this common story is a he or a she, rich or poor, smart or just average, the four or so years passing pass in a blurry of mental and emotional growth and the person at the beginning will be catapulted into their new world; a resulting from the once thought to be meaningless interest rates and job growth factors hardly considered at the beginning of the journey.
The journey becomes the story and the story makes the person. Whether the high road leads farther or higher is the job of the navigator to find out.
