The Bridge Builder

The lifestyle portrayed in this essay has been proven to be very controversial, especially of late. Although I am not personally supportive of this type of lifestyle, I am very supportive of standing up for oneself. It is very important for people in this world to stand up for what they believe in, no matter what obsticles they may face. In this case, Katherine was faced with making a decision that I'm sure would be a hard one to make. She was forced to stand up for herself against her family so that she could live out her life as she felt the need to do so. Many variables had an effect on the decisions she had to make. Had she not talked to Jean after childhood, she may not have ever felt the way she recently did for her. However, had Jean never left, she may not have ever been married to her husband and never have had four children. These are all variables that had an influence on the decisions Kathrine had to make. The path she followed was one that she felt she needed to follow and I for one, commend her for that. I hope that everyone can bennifit from her decisions in life.
