journal #8 Ophelia Speaks

My novel that I am reading is called Ophelia Speaks. This book TOTALLY relates to the coming of age process. Ophelia Speaks mainly points out to girls through the age of 12-18. Ophelia Speaks talks about many categories girls struggle and go through today such as: Eating disorders, sex, peer pressure, family, school, and friends. Each of these categories have different stories from teenage girls that have submitted their story. This novel talks about how hard it is to grow up when you are a girl and the struggles and pressure you face. 

Journal #8: College Plans

Since we been talking a lot about college and were about to write a college essay for one of our big projects for english I thought a lot about what I would like to do as I get older. I would like to major in the medical field and in hopes of becoming a nurse and a doctor. Mrs. Mau said that it would take a lot of work but I feel that this is what I want to do and it really feels like my passion. I would like to pursue this major in a school in Hawaii or hopefully Canada. I hear that HPU has a really good nursing program. But I would also would like to go to Canada for schooling because I love the scenery and life there and they also have a lot of successful people their that are in the medical field.
