<p>“Probably from the time I entered high school, I started feeling this wave of … You know how when you have a bottle full of water and it’s narrowing down into a very small canal? I kind of felt like that’s how my life was going.</p>
<p>“There was so much pressure involved with graduating high school, thinking about what I want to do for the rest of my life, what figure of money I want to be making. And since I’m an only child, there&#8217;s this feeling of additional expectations placed on <span class="text_exposed_show">you. Maybe they&#8217;re not really there, but you have this feeling of needing to do something important with your life. </span></p>
<p><span class="text_exposed_show">“So you want to make sure you’re doing the right thing and making the right decisions. But that’s not always easy to know. Sometimes that can lead to feeling really overwhelmed.”</span></p>
