Mona Lisa Smile
I believe that "Mona Lisa Smile" will be about girls who go to college but aren't expecting to ever use their degree because they are expected to get married and only raise the kids while the husband provides for them. But then a new lady professor comes and tries to get the girls to realize that they can make their own choices and not let society tell them how they need to live their lives. In result, the girls slowly start to realize that the new professor is trying to help them and they listen to what she tells them about how they can be independent.

High School Exams and College Exams
My thoughts on these two kinds of exams are probably the same everyone else who made this post. I think college exams will be much more difficult than high school exams. Considering that most every high school teacher will go over the material that will be on the exam that already makes it ten times more easier than college exams where the professor probably won't go over the material. I honestly don't do anything to prepare for my high school exams, I just walk in and take the test. But if I am ever to take a college exam, I'm sure that I will probably end up cramming the week before (or of) the exam. I've never really studied for anything, so I guess cramming would be better than doing no studying at all.

Why I chose to join the military
The main thing I hope to accomplish by joining the military (more specifically the Air Force) is for me to go through a life changing experience that not many people go through. I think it will be a great way for me to apply myself in a way that isn't just beneficial to me, it's beneficial to my entire country. There are a few people that I am going into the Air Force for, but the main person is myself. I believe that the Air Force will help shape me into the person I want to be and give me many memories to be proud of later in life. The other two people I am joining the Air Force for are my two brothers. They are both currently serving in the Air Force, it's kind of become the family business. But it is a family business that I am willing to join. I'm also just curious to know what all my brothers have gone through. Before I joined the Air Force I talked to both of my brothers about it and they gave me all kinds of advice, I also talked to a recruiter who got me into the military just a week after getting in touch with him. The Air Force will help me achieve my goals by putting me in a good position to be successful later in life by giving me time to get a college degree for free and more time to become the person I'm meant to be.

Job
Life Guard
For the past few days I have been scouring the internet for jobs people my age are prone to get. The job I found the most interesting was a lifeguard. This job suits people like me because I love to help others. Also since I'm young, it would be easier for me to save someone from drowning than some eighty year old man trying to save them. The steps I would go through in order to prepare for an interview would be, research basic life guarding techniques and research what the qualifications are for lifeguards. It isn't too difficult to find applications for this job online, especially right before summer time. Granted it may be difficult to actually get the job because many people my age apply for life guarding jobs. But that doesn't mean that it is impossible to get, you'd just have to be persistent while searching for the job.

Homeless to Harvard
This was by far one of the most inspirational movies I have seen. Seeing an individual start from nothing and graduating from Harvard is probably one of the biggest successes in today's society. My favorite part of the movie was when Liz walked away from her friend Chris in order to change her life. In this scene Chris portrays Liz's past life, which consisted of being homeless and never doing anything about it. So Liz had a choice to either stay back and stay with her friend, or move on and become the successful woman that she knew she could be. If I was in her position, it would have been very difficult for me to be as resilient as her, but when it came down to it, I probably would have gone to school to get my education.
