Early Decisions

One of the things that I've noticed about Peruvian people and their culture, is that they make big decisions early on in their life.

They do a lot of things earlier than we do, like:

• Get married
• Graduate
• Enter the religious life
• Travel
• Learn languages

A lot of people here have also been shocked to know that I'm 25. They think that I look 20 and am still in school. I'll take that as a compliment, I guess, but I think they're also confussed as to why I've decided to uproot my career and come now. Shouldn't I have made this decision 5 or 6 years ago?

In response, I think I'm going to grow a beard...

Please vote on the right hand side to weigh in on the beard situation.
