  • Personal Narrative: My Social Expectations

    Social Expectations As a woman when I was born, especially a white woman, it was not uncommon for mothers to stay at home and take care of the children. I held the expectation that eventually I would marry and have children, and it would not be unexpected for me to become a stay-at-home mother.

Since I was born in the late 90s, I identify as a millennial, and believe that because of things like technology, life is much easier for the generation to which I belong.

    I used to think that I knew everything and I did not need anybody else's advice. Now I understand that getting advice from other people is better than not listening to them talk. Getting advice from other parents, friends, and teachers is helpful because they are speaking from experience, can get more than one opinion, and there is more to life than a person may think of it.
