Following the Right Path

At this point, Jerry has reached a crossroads in his life. The options are clear, but the decisions are not. As Jerry has grown as a person, he has become more aware of the changes that he needs to make to improve his life. One thing that he is sure of is that in order to be an individual, you must challenge the views of others. He has also learned, by witnessing it first hand, that standing up against others can get you hurt. The idea of standing up for what one believes in is as old as time. However, is Jerry's quest fro individuality worthy at this time of his life? Will it make or break him if he decides to challenge the "world" he lives in now. School is that world and the powers that be are not only temporary, but corrupt. If Jerry chooses to walk the path of resisitance, he could jepordize his education and his future. Even if he wins and becomes a stronger person, the results could be that his future is now tainted by the fact that he challenged a thing like a school and it's principal. On the other hand, if these things are only temporary and it is only high school and not the 'real world', why not challenge it?
