My existential belief as a teen girl growing up in Los Angeles could be different from what people might expect. When people observe me, they see a tall brown haired white valley girl. The way I act does not depict any psychological problems so my social and family life must be pretty solid. I could be expected to act snoody, bratty, or spoiled. I am probably expected by many to go to school for a while and then get married and not have to work, have children, and play mom. This is what society might feel my obligation is.
The truth is I am totally different than what you might think. I am from two worlds. I am half Mexican decent and my views of society and my future dynamics would surprise most people. From 7th grade, disectnig a frog didn’t make me run away screaming to the girls bathroom, but instead fascinated me. Its only natural I would want to pursue the practice and be a surgical nurse when I age. I attended a catholic school, but ironically enough I’m not an atheist. I don’t believe in a higher being. I believe we are just here by science and circumstantial evidence. We have the ability to make decisions in our lives and I am going to do something productive and not expected. I don’t want to marry, but I do want to be in love all of my life and sadly enough, children disgust me. So despite what society might expect me to contribute from what they see, my existential views might bring something even greater and productive to the world in the future.
