Nathan Rebelo wants to attend USC and become an architect. He seemed very calm and confident in his future as well as pragmatic. He is reaching out for his dream in a realistic way. I thought I connected with him the most because we share similar interests. We both don't necessarily want to leave home to get away from our family, but to rather explore and discover who we are when separated from the people who have influenced and pushed their beliefs onto us. He said that his ultimate goal was just to be able to drive around downtown with his kids and family as he points out all of the buildings he has designed for the community--his personal stamp on the world. I thought this was awesome because family is very important to me. I too want to become successful not only for me but for my future kids as well. It's such a cliche, but I believe that everyone does want better for their kids.
Shauna Casale was the most deluded to me. She is the seventeen year old girl who wants to become a major motion picture actress, and based on her monologue from Silence of the Lambs, I don't think it's gonna happen. That sounds harsh, I know, but it really wasn't that good, or convincing. She states she excited to get out of the house and experience life without any restrictions. I don't think she understands how difficult it is to become as big as Angelina Jolie and how her fantasy outlook on life will effect her. She is in for a big shock.
My favorite quote:
I'm going to be the second person in my family to graduate, and I just want to make my parents proud.
