STUDENT FEEDBACK: “Wallace explains how a person’s past and family history helps to shape the type of person they become, and yet doesn’t define who they must be. I think this is a very powerful distinction to mention. A lot of people use their family problems as excuses for any hardship they face in life. As Wallace explains, these things can help explain why people get into certain situations, but should never be used as an excuse, because no matter the past or history, each person can make their own choices.” http://ow.ly/i/n8KpV
