Teenagers, with their boundless energy and lack of inhibition, tend to make the most hasty choices. However, such choices may have the most surprising effects on our life at times. Listen, I'll tell you the story of Joey, a courageous 16-year-old who, despite all the obstacles, dared to follow his heart.
When Joey was a little child, he had a strong ambition to go into medicine. He and his mother Flora lived on a farm in the country, and he realized that following his aspirations would require him to leave behind the familiar and into the unknown.
With a blend of anticipation and anxiety, Joey once dropped a touching letter on his mom's sewing machine. "My dear mother, I am leaving on an adventure to follow my heart. Sorry to have been a source of concern; know that my love for you will last forever. Be cautious. Best regards, Joey. Without realizing the difficulties that awaited him, Joey set off on what he believed to be an epic journey.
