Leaving BOOST and Reconsidering the Meaning of a Wrong Turn
The W's of the Story.
01
Nathan entered the BOOST program with one vision for his future and later chose to withdraw. At the time, leaving felt like a failure and a closed door. With distance, he came to see that the decision redirected him toward experiences, relationships, and responsibilities that shaped the life he ultimately built. The story continues to challenge a simple definition of failure: a path can be wrong for the original destination and still lead toward a greater purpose.
