I'm 18 years old and I before I knew about the Fastlane I was living a Sidewalker's life with a Slow Laner's mindset. It's the way I knew, it's the only way anybody had told me to go. Unfortunately, it's the way society tells all young people to go. I think society has tainted our (us youngins) definition of responsibility. I've noticed many other people like me, my friends, my peers in school, we define responsibility as having a career, paying bills, and having a mortgage. Society has taught us to believe that true responsibility was to wait until we were older and more "educated". When we're young, people doubt our abilities and tell us we're not "mature" enough to "understand" and eventually we let them convince us. And we wait for responsibility. We wait for life to come to us. Just like everyone else. We wait for our designated, predestined time to shine. It's time for society to stop suppressing all the different meanings of responsibility. Let us define our responsibility, and support it.
