You can call her a copycat, too bad you don't know the entire story.
Her entire life consisted making people happy. What made her parents happy? Knowing that their daughter would be a success. They wanted good grades, she gave them good grades. All her life she lived up to their expectations. Although she exceeded them, she was never happy. The pressure of becoming something great was too difficult. She lashed out in way she shouldn't have, but she did. The continuous thoughts of letting her parents down would never stop. Yes, if she wanted to she could become a doctor, a lawyer, a psycologist, a nurse, a dentist; but would she be happy? ...No.
A year passes and she finally finds the courage to confront everyone with her dream. A dream that people find degrading, but a dream that inspires her. She can go places with her dream, places where she can be herself and not live up to the expectations of others. Her father, suprisingly thrilled. Although her mother is shocked, she understands her completely and lends her support. For years she was ashamed of her dream. She knew she could be something more, something more professional, but that is not what she wants. She wants to be happy with her life. This is will make that happen.
Now you know the story, go ahead and call her a copycat.
