When classrooms are meant to comply with a certain level of safety and well being, the freedom of real curiosity and discovery are removed and unreal expectations for life are generated. Your Analysis: I found this article to be thought provoking and well written. The author, Peggy Noonan, brings up a number of points that I believe to be relevant in today’s education system. It’s definitely probable that if universities continually remove and edit classroom material and discussions, the kind of learning that results in actual progress will be inhibited.

Monday through Friday I stayed with my grandmother and great aunt, so that I could go to school. I was in elementary school at the time. I use to listen to my uncle play different types of music on his stereo so that he could mimic the sound with the instruments he was playing. I used to sing along with him dreaming that one day I would be able to sing just like the singers on the albums my uncle would play to.

Everything was vastly different, with my nanny and grandma. I had to do a lot of my homework and study alone, and I also had to stand up for myself, which was very difficult on my part. I had to set a good example for my little brother and my cousins who were younger than me, just like Ralph did for the little ones, I had to be studious, and I had to stand up for myself, looking back at it now, I can see that for someone at the age of 7-8 years old, I was highly independent, and hated when other people would try to help me.

In the 1950s, a large percentage of girls entering college dropped or left college early. Women who left college early did so in order to get married, and women who stayed did not plan on working towards a job. College girls dreamed of a quiet life after college with their husbands and tending for the house. Lynn White, the president of Mills College said these words about female college students during the 1950s, “the curriculum for female students should prepare women to foster the intellectual and emotional life of her family and community!” Female students were encouraged to take special courses to prepare themselves for home life, some of these classes included: interior decoration and family finance.
I was to immediately move across country to live with my strict uncle and his family of six after my parents discovered I had a boyfriend at the age of fifteen. They were afraid I was brainwashed by the American culture. They thought it was best to move us from Phoenix, Arizona to Shelby Township, Michigan to be around people of my ethnicity, mostly my family. I remember crying the entire way there, the tears running down my face began to expose streaks due to the non-water-proof loreal foundation I had on. my father tried to convince me that my destiny was in Michigan.
and then was court ordered to move in with my mom, things changed. I know had a little half-brother who would grow up to be my best friend.

Avery and her husband Bill adopted me when I was one so they're the only parent's I really remember. Avery and Bill treated me just like their own, then Amy was born and we were truly a happy family, but all good things never seem to last.

That night we got a phone call, a storm unexpectedly came in and the airplane Bill was on received some damage, and crashed, their was no survivors. Now nearly 6 years later, Avery decided that we needed a change and moved out of our home in Denver Colorado, to go farther west to a small town in Oregon called Wolf Creek.
Some of the obstacles that I most likely will face along this journey is being overwhelmed. Going to school it added a lot of stress. I work two jobs one full-time and one part-time. I also have a five year old son that’s in school himself and I have to sit down and help him with his homework.
Abortion has become virtually inaccessible to the average woman in the United States. The American government has passed over 280 abortion bans since 2011, the most recent and compelling being the bill that restricts hospitals and clinics around the country from receiving any federal assistance for carrying out abortions. These restrictions have forced a multitude of abortion clinics to shut down. Consequently, with diminishing accessibility and essentially no resources to support abortions in the country, the pro-choice movement is losing it’s gumption. Many people are looking for ways to boost the campaign’s momentum again.
As a graduating senior preparing for college is frightening. The ideas of “how am I going to pay for college?” and “where will I live?” are continuously brought upon myself, and my family. I have worked hard my entire high school career for the opportunity of attending the college I choose, as well as hopes that my work will pay off by receiving financial assistance for my education. Financially, my family has encountered many hardships including: having a single mother, four sisters, and medical adversities.
