[quote=Anonymous]Everyone has their own path. And sometimes that journey might not have been the one that you would have chosen, but it is always what is best in the end. Sometimes, people need to find themselves and be able to commit to their life the way they want it, before they can really be happy and productive.

For example, I dropped out of college (Franklin and Marshall) after two years. My parents disowned me. I worked, fell into drugs (heroin), lost my job, and was homeless. After hitting rock bottom, my brother took me in. I spent a year detoxing (physically and mentally). Finally, my brother said enough is enough. I got back into the work force, got my bachelor's degree and immediately got my master's degree afterwards. I built my career and now I have a very good job, make over 6-figures, and I am happy. I just took a different path.

Don't judge. Be supportive. Believe in someone. And let them find their way. Be grateful they are healthy. A live. And wish them happiness.[/quote]
