When people are younger they are more easily persuaded to believe a certain thing. In Hillary’s younger life “she believed in the type of individual public service she has learned from her church elders and high school teachers” (Wells 19), but then Hillary went to Wellesley college and took college courses and her perspective on the world changed. What took place in Hillary at this college was a major event in her life, if she did not attend this college she may not have gotten the chance to show the world what women can do and make all of the changes she was able to make. Hillary is very big on women’s rights, she was once denied an opportunity to be an astronaut simply because she is a girl: “in that era, women are barred from becoming astronauts” (Wells 14). Hillary found this infuriating and probably so would any other woman if this is what they wanted to be, maybe this was the event that led Hillary to want to enforce women’s’ rights so badly. After Hillary graduated Wellesley she went to Yale over Harvard because they said they did not need any more women, and this is where she met Bill Clinton.

    My mother began outlining my future for me from the day I was born. She would tell me that I was destined for greatness and one day I would become the First Lady of the United States. But that never sat well with me because the title of First Lady meant one thing to me: a relinquishment of independence and opinion. It seemed demeaning because the position degraded intelligent women to trivial tasks such as picking which china and flower arrangements to display at a dinner party at the White House.
