9th grade:Do you believe in Fate? Are there certain things in life that, once set in motion, are inevitable; things that cannot be stopped once they are started? The story of Romeo and Juliet implies that the path of their love and what happens to them is part of Fate's plan. Do you think this is possible?

Yeah I guess I believe in fate. Like if a guy kills someone you love then fate probably won't let you be the best of friends with that person. I guess if two people meet like Romeo and Juliet and they get to know each other and they really like each other then usually fate will let them be together no matter what obstacles stand between them like the feud between the Montagues and the Capulets. I believe anyone can choose what they want but fate makes certain choices a lot easier and fate shows you a pathway that is to irresistible to ignore. Fate could be bad. If I hang out with bad friends and start doing drugs and get addicted then fate will probably make me think i have to live a bad life because it seems like the easiest path but I can choose a different fate and turn my life around even if it may seem hard.
