I have one friend who was a wonderful example of the personal fable. She had a family who did not go to go to college. Most of the women in her family were at home moms. She would often remark about how she was going to go to college and be “better than them all”. She would tell stories about her plans of being a mom and being a successful professional of course this would be evidence by how wealthy she would be. She never really had any ideas about what profession to go into, but just more behind the story of how she was going to gain these things to be better than her current family members. Knowing her for years, I have had the pleasure of getting to see her grow up. She is a outstanding mom of two wonderful kiddos and works part time. I don’t know if she fully achieved the college part of her fable, but she looks like a wonderfully happy, dedicated mother, who balances it with a part time job in which she is successful in.
