Thanks Frances for sharing your journey through time of what you believed you wanted and how society influenced and impacted those expectations ….fascinating . I don’t think I’ve ever read a personal essay that helped demonstrate how race, education, culture and geography can interplay in a young woman’s mind with what she felt she wanted/needed.

Ultimately, you are happy with who you are and where you want to be in life: in the end, that’s all that matters.

It looks different to us all.
Congrats on your achievements —bravo!!🥳🥳🥳
