What do people mean when they say, “you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family”?

What a perfect composition Sir [이름]!

You made me feel great today.

I am so blessed to have a student like you.

Anyway, yes I agree with you,

We can change our destiny but not entirely.

There are factors that we need to consider when making a decision.

We can discuss this in class.

I watched a documentary on TV a few days ago.

>> correct

It was about a teenager who lives in a small town near the Himalayan Mountain.

>> correct

He makes a living with his 60-year old mother by carrying luggage up to the top of the mountain every day.

>> correct

He and his mother have to load heavy stuff on their back and climb up to the mountain for a few hours.

>> correct

He repeats the job a few times a day. 

>> correct

He and his mother burst into tears several times on the way to the top of the mountain due to the pain in their back and knees.

>> correct

Their crying was not only because of the physical pain, but also their hopeless lives.

>> correct

They seem to feel desperate and hopeless.

>> correct

The teenager seemed to be filled with anger and blame his mother for his miserable life.

>> correct

Watching the scene, it made me wonder whether each person has his/her own destiny.

>> correct

If he had been born in a rich family, his life could have changed.

>> correct

We neither can choose our parents nor our children.

>> correct

Then can we change our destiny on our own? 

>> correct

Not entirely, but to some degree.
