JOURNAL 2: 2/15/2011

I do believe we control our fates for the most part. There are many things we can do to determine where we are headed. We determine things like the type of jobs we have by how deticated we are to our schoolwork and our decisions on whether or not to go to college and we also determine the grades we recieve by how much work we put into our homework. There are things, though, that can happen unplanned that could completely change everything. Things like a parent losing a job or a loss of a family member can affect a lot of things you do and you don't plan on things like that happening. Unexpected things like that can change our fate. For the most part, though, I believe we control our own fate.
