Almost instantly the basement door swings open and I’m sent to my room for punishment. At only 5 years old I had secretly chopped my little sister’s hair off; again. These impulses to use my little sister’s as barbie dolls has very much shaped my career path.
As I got older, my family started to see I had a real talent for doing hair. I started taking cosmetology through boces in 11th grade and have been very successful through it. I love what I do because I can make people feel good about themselves. How they look on the outside very much affects how they

“Hold still you little brat.” I looked up to see who had said that, but before I even got a glimpse of anyone, I felt an instant pain in my neck that trickled down my spine which then caused me to collapse. Sadly, while I laid there on the street, barely even able to think, I watched my mother and father be drug off unconscious, then loaded into a military truck that only left behind smoke and tire tracks. “Momma! don’t leave me!.

I wanted to run to her and hug her, but I was terrified that I would remind her of Mimi and make her cry again. “Why don’t you go play? I’ll go take care of your mom.” I obediently went to my room to dress my dolls, but when I heard my mother’s quiet sobs I ran to the door. Peaking through the door, I saw my father helping my mother up the stairs and back behind the locked door.

I have always enjoyed the art of cosmetology because it helps bring out people's features, makes them feel more confident, and there's always different looks for everyone. I remember when I would get my hair done, being so intrigued by the art that came from it. How changing the color of someone's hair can change there whole look, or how a simple haircut can bring out certain face features. When I first started doing hair and makeup, I was not very good, but the more I kept practicing the better I got. On the other hand I have always been pretty good with doing hair.

The new career Barbie dolls could positively influence younger girls and potentially boys. I think making the Barbies have a more normal and realistic "life style" will teach children to pursue their dreams. It will get children thinking about their future at a younger age, which could help them later in life as they go through schooling and start their lives in the work force. I think that the Barbie company should introduce more jobs such as: a firefighter, construction worker, and other jobs that are thought of as jobs only for men. That way as girls grow up they Will not be ashamed of wanting to pursue one of those careers because Barbie did it too and she is an influential figure to young children.

I held my sister close. I tried to put on a straight face, but my trembling fingers betrayed the fact that I was holding back tears that would not stop once they started flowing. The light was dim, and the long shadows on the walls became monsters that only added to my sister’s fears. Her soaked eyes were buried in my shirt, leaving stains in my heart that no amount of washing would ever remove. Her hands were clutching my waist as if I was the only thing holding her up.

Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices” (Handler 1). Many people argue that Barbie is an exceptional role model for young girls and shows them that they can be anything they want to be. It is true that Barbie has around 130 careers; some of those jobs are often jobs that are dominated by men. However, in a recent study young girls were given two toys, Mr. Potato Head and Barbie.
