I BROKE THE TRADITION

"I BROKE THE TRADITION" I broke a 50-year family tradition... and my entire family disowned me."

I Ethan 27M and in my family, there's one rule that's been sacred for fifty years.

Every single person. No exceptions. You graduate high school... you go work for

the family business. My grandfather started it. A construction company. My dad expanded

it. My uncles run different branches. Cousins, nephews,

everyone works there. It's not just a business. It's our legacy. Our identity.

From the time I could walk, I knew my future. "One day, this will all be

yours." Family dinners? We talked about projects. Contracts.
