Miss Spore said she would like to go to an all girls college because she wanted to fulfill her mother's dream. She has always been a book reader. Vassor enjoys reading over a lot of things like TV, or music. This is just the kind of person she is. You may think why over TV, but she would like to be smarter from books not TV. Why does Vassor want to be a Victorian? Vassor has to be one to get into Vassar. Vassor hopes to someday win the Nobel prize. She would prefer to be a leader instead of a follower because then she can plan stuff her way. What would really scare her is not following a plan. She could never live without plans because that was how she was raised. Sadly, she regrets 1 thing and that was going to Asia with her grandma. 1 thing she wants in life most though, is to go to Vassar because it is her mother's dream. She has some hard times with going with the flow though, because she was raised differently. You may wonder why was she named Vassar and she is trying to get into a school named Vassar? Well, they did not name the school after her. Vassar’s mom did not get accepted into Vassar so she decided that her daughter would. So, Vassar is the kind of girl who wants to lead and learn more.

Dix was a school teacher, a writer, a superintendent of nurses during the Civil War, and among all those accomplishments; her biggest one was being a reformer for improved treatment of the mentally ill. She started her work in 1843 in which there were only thirteen mental institutions and by 1880 there were a total of one hundred and twenty-three of which she personally oversaw thirty-two of the establishments.

    It was a typical Friday night, in the spring of 2003, my mom had just dropped me off at the gas station so I could go over to my dads. After I got in my dads truck we drove over to his friends house where we would stay till late hours into the night.

Needless to say I woke up on a couch, in a house I’d never been to. I started crying and frantically looked for a phone, so that I could call my dad.…

Another reason is that the townspeople did not acknowledge or respect the Duvitches basic free rights. Furthermore, the Duvitches were not prosperous until the townsfolk accepted them despite living in a free country.…
