As I sat down to write this paper my dad continually pressed with me the question, "What's your story?" Well, here it is. I am a white female with no disabilities, an only child of married parents, and attend a private Christian high school five days a week. That is, sadly, the story that society judges me on.
But now the question has shifted, "What motivates your story?" My academic success, athletic titles, and scholarly achievements have motivated me to get to this moment, the moment that society claims will pave my future. And yet, I know that these earthly things will be of no concern when my life is taken. My limited time on earth is just that, limited.
Now the perspective has changed. The question falls to "What fulfills your story?"
