Being Master of Your Own Fate.
As is vividly depicted in the picture, a young girl is telling her mother, "Good news, I was accepted to the college of your choice," But ironically, the three words "of your choice." reveal the truth that the dream which has just come true does not belong to the girl at all.
It is such a common thing nowadays that parents make a lot of decisions for their children，even at the major turning points of their life, including choosing colleges and majors, hunting for a job or getting married. Several reasons account for this phenomenon. First of all，parents always think that they are able to make a wiser choice than teenagers. Also，they attach too much attention to their only child in the family. What's more, it seems to be the only way to realize their unfulfilled dreams by letting their children do things that they want them to.
For teenagers, there is a long way to go in their life. They will finally make decisions by themselves. To be master of their own fate is a great step in their growth.
