Yes. I think I'm living up to my parents expectations. For a good portion of their lives, they wanted me to get into what's called one of the best high schools in America (although it's been shot with a cheating scandal lately... sigh). I got into that, and I'm really proud of myself, as I think are my parents, even though they're good at not showing it. I've also been able to make great friends, and I've been able to follow a straightedge lifestyle for a good while now. No cigarettes, no alcohol, no drugs. Are there better things that I should strive for? Yes. But I'm happy with what I've gone through. I do have a few regrets, but I've learned from them and moved on.
