Your path is your character defining itself more and more every day like a photograph coming into focus, like a color that becomes more vivid in contrast with its surroundings.

Historia tego cytatu
Foster offered the Penn graduates two striking visual metaphors for the process of becoming who you are. The first — a photograph coming into focus — captures how identity clarifies gradually through accumulated choices and experiences. The second — a color becoming more vivid against its surroundings — suggests that who you are becomes clearer not in isolation but in relationship to the world around you. Foster emphasized that this path 'does not belong to your parents, your teachers, your leaders, or your lovers.' It is uniquely yours, defined by your character as it evolves. For someone who had been in the public eye since age three and had every aspect of her identity scrutinized, this assertion of self-authorship carried particular weight.
