I consistently questioned authority, especially regarding religion. All of our lives, but particularly as children and young adults, we are told what and how to do things. However, we should first teach our children to understand why. Yes, as a parent or teacher, this means more work, but it produces smart adults.
I took considerable personal risk in questioning the religion of my family and friends. In the end, I just could not accept all the nonsense, mainly because the "experts" could not give me good answers. I was even punished for asking so many questions.
Now I am thankfully religion-free. The getting here was difficult, but it was worth it.

I was brought up as a Catholic. I was a member of a choir group, I grew up learning catechism, and was a member of Legion of Mary. I go to mass regularly and pray the rosary, and studied in Catholic schools.
When I was in college, I attended a Youth Service for born-again Christians, and found it a breath of fresh air.
When my parents found out about it, they went ballistic and forbade me to go again.
It wasn't until the about 2-1/2 years that I came back again because the void I have been feeling my whole life continues to gnaw at me. And at that point, I made a decision to get serious with my walk with Christ. It changed my whole life and my perspective of God.
My whole family knows about it now and have given me the freedom. And my life just keeps on getting better and better.
Jeremiah 29:11 states: "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans to prosper you and to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
My life is HIS will, and I want it all... :)

Got married after dating for six weeks. Almost ten years now, two children. I don't recommend such a quick marriage for everyone, but it was right for us. We also did a lot of talking in those six weeks about our goals, our future children, finances, our expectations of each other, and marriage in general.

when i was a child- everyone keeps scaring me not to go in dark places.
now that im older, i learned a valuable lesson that the dark isnt something to be afraid of-
actually that's where you see the light more clearly.

I changed my major from pre-pharmacy to history. You have to do what you know is right in your heart.

Since YOU asked, I'd say it was enlisting in the military.
