For Vanessa, simply finding her way across town to school was more of a learning experience than she ever imagined. Sometimes not always being so sure about where you fit in can be frustrating, especially when you dont have anyone to turn to. But everyday people that make our lives unique can often be overlooked and underappreciated. Vanessas journey is a simple one that we all take every day. Whether we really understand the relationships with our own family or if were curious about the guy sitting next to us on the bus or the girl in class sometimes the journey is all about the way we see the world. ********************* Most children are believed to have their own set of beliefs and principles influenced by their parents, but their life experiences are the ones that will eventually shape their character and world views.

It explains how parents examples greatly affect their childrens judgment, as they immerse into the lives of each of the characters.
